45. "sure but that's an old anti-semitic trope." In response to In response to 44 Fri Jun-30-17 04:40 PM by SoWhat
the idea that the Jewish ppl (all of them, as a whole) control the banks and whatnot. the Nazis used it to rile up folks and get them to support or look the other way during the Holocaust.
plus, the shit just ain't true. we're looking in from the outside. most Jewish ppl are just regular folks. if their communities are insular and tend to support each other it's b/c they were locked out of other options. due to anti-Semitism. also, the Jewish ppl are not a monolith. they infight like a motherfucker. not all Jewish ppl can get support from their community. they're like us - they fight w/each other for position. crabs in a barrel.
but that's whatever. the main point is talk about Jewish ppl controlling finance fuels resentment at the Jewish ppl - anti-semitism. and it's not true anyway. the fact that a handful of ppl who happen to be Jewish may be at the top of a few financial institutions doesn't mean that it's fair to say that about all Jewish ppl.
