Jews

There was a tempest-in-a-teapot last week when some third-rate pundit accused the author of Harry Potter of being antisemitic because one of her characters matched HIS stereotypes of Jews.

The thing is, Jews have been around for more than four-thousand years. They got around. In fact, you could make the case that Exodus is the original road-trip story. They don't all LOOK the same.




All of the people in these pictures are Jews.

They are a diverse group of people. Like any large group of people there are good ones and unsavory ones, attractive ones and homely one, smart ones and dumb ones.

  1. J.K. became kind of "cozy" with the lgbtqrstuv crowd when they embraced the Potter universe. Then she committed the cardinal sin of saying women exist. She's had a target on her back ever since. They weren't even going to allow her to be part of the recent anniversary special. I read somewhere that she grovelled enough and was allowed a tiny part. Whats almost funny is while J.K. was being accused of being antisemitic, Emma Watson was coming out in support of the Palestinians and is being accused of being antisemitic. I'm just going to pop a fresh batch and watch them eat each other.

  3. Remember that time a descendent of Abraham flipped tables and was betrayed by all those he came to save? The world was divided by those moments. Even to this day, the Jews really love their tables. They also love forging golden idols and persecuting honest men, but that is nothing compared to their love of unflipped tables.

    1. We use different words now. We call those who worship the golden idols, persecute honest men and use "unflipped tables" as altars, we call them The Deep State now.

      Every society devolves into the Deep State and every society has a corps of good men who stand ready to hit the "reset" button. I don't think it has anything to do with Jews and knee-jerk accusations take our eye off the ball and reduce the corps of good men.

    3. Jew hating is irrational and unproductive. That must be why I do not understand the blame the Jews crowd. It perplexes me often.

    4. Empires always end up being ruled by foreigners right before they collapse. If the US was being ruled and parasitically drained of its wealth by some remote tribe from New Guinea, you would laugh and want to know more, but say that tribe is out of Israel, and all of you bust out the rhetoric and reduce dissent to a form of pathology. The foreigners who rule an empire will champion abortion, import foreigners to replace native children, create systems of debt and usury to reduce people into serfs, and then brainwash everyone into seeing anyone or anything but them doing it - all of it to hold onto power. The British did it in India. The Aztecs did it in Mexico before the Spanish. The Spanish and Portuguese did it in South America. The Prussians did it in Eastern Europe for centuries. History echos eternally. For the US, it happens to be Jews.

    5. I hate blog authors who use their bully-pulpit to brow-beat comments.

      I hope this does not feel that way to you (Redacted).

      Half of the world's economy occurs in four countries: The United States, China, Japan and Germany.

      Japan is the opposite end of the demographic spectrum from the US. They are dead-men walking.

      The only demographic segments of the German and Chinese population that is showing self-replacement are Muslim. Unless something dramatic happens, Germany (and the rest of Europe) and China will tip into de facto theocracies.

      The United States, despite its illogical, pathological and extremely poorly administered immigration policies is the only country of the four that has a balanced population from the standpoint of "replacement".

      And while you might not like Latin Americans, they are at least nominally, socially Christians and most of them want to work and want to assimilate.

      If you want to find a pinata to whack, whack the academic guidance counsellors who try to funnel every kid into college and into $40k of debt and $120k of opportunity costs (foregone wages).

      Debt (especially among women) = fewer kids.

  4. Sadly, not so astonishing how the lunatics get vocal when someone mentions Jews. I could see it coming when I opened the comments. Pathetic.

    1. Duly noted.

      I feel that I have a mission to make an honest effort to address those perceptions because I might be able to offer a perspective that gives them a basis for reconsidering.

    2. "Teh Jooooos" typically have a traditional family (2 adults)

      In many Jewish homes, education is valued, earning is normal, and saving is normal.

      This builds wealth.

      Envy is ugly. It breeds hate.

  5. I am grateful to all of you for your goodwill in this exchange. I expected misdirection, armchair psychoanalysis, and dismissal, and was not disappointed. Fool I may be, at least I am an honest and sincere one.
