Thanks Larken for another clear and eel thought out argument. I continue to learn from you. I wanted to add that whilst there are a disproportionate number of Jews in banking and government, there are also a disproportion number of Jews who are novel prize winners, Doctors, psychologists and lots of other fields. As someone brought up in a strictly orthodox jewish Home, I have some insider knowledge and experience. I think that part of the culture is emphasis on education (which involves a lot of indoctrination) and a strong family thing which encourages success in any field and is helped by a strong and large network of people in many disciplines. For example, I have access to some of the top people in their fields just by going to synagogues they might attend. So I think it’s also important to balance the fact that there are a disproportionate number of Jews in finance with the disproportionate number of Jews in lots of other fields. Angood example of this is that israel has the highest proportion of vegans in the world. And to the hater with the Talmud quotes I say this. I studied Talmud for 10 years including three years intensely. It is a huge work of tens of thousands of pages of all sorts of stuff. Some of it is obnoxious and idiotic and some is profound and deep. So to take out the lines in there that are obnoxious is misleading. And that’s not to say that there isn’t a problem of supremacy in the jewish culture but as you say, the problem of supremacy is present in most of not all groups.
Well said. Just the cultural emphasis on literacy, education, thinking, hard work, etc., is going to result in Jews being successful in lots of areas, which includes the "area" of being evil control freak bastards. But blaming Judaism for that is like saying that some culture is evil for emphasizing the importance of physical health and strength, because NASTY people in that group can use their strength to hurt people.
I agree. Jews represent the highest IQ of all people, but the thing is, it is not about hating Judaism or Jews, but Zionism, which is a violation of NAP, therefore against my values. There is a big distinction between Jews and Zionists. You do not have to be a Jew to be a Zionist. Invading someone's land, the betrayal of their own people... Zionists who started Bolshevik revolution and conspired with Hitler to populate the "promised land". We both know that the history we were taught in indoctrination camps is not real. There is a huge amount of evidence. Just the fact that first Soviet Union government was 90% Zionist Jews is interesting. Jews are 0,25% of population. I don't know what percentage are the Zionists. Talmud says we were all created to serve them. The Jews who took this seriously are controlling money supply, media etc. Zionists sponsored the Bolsheviks, communism and Hitler. Some joined Hitler, some were trained by Mussolini. Isn't this interesting? The conspiracy goes waaay deeper than just prejudice for Jews.

Good point. I know people from many cultures, and I observed the same thing - that in some cultures, amongst which is the Jewish, education is prioritized highly. As for the people I know from Iran, whom are all doctors, lawyers, engineers and economists. That is the reason that you see a - as you state it - disproportionate number of Jews in government and finance ... and science and a whole lot of other professions. I do however think this disproportion is not the case for every financial and governmental institution in the world, although it might (or might not?) be so in the US of A. The funny thing about these people with pack mentality is the ability to ignore that most people in these institution, by numbers, are white Christians. As in "look at that evil people in that government, they are mostly Christians! - they must all be evil". But your idea about mirroring - I think that is a good point. One which is very often the case in a lot of situations where you confront someone with negative thing on their mind. Psychologically it often makes sense understand that the trait they have problems with stems from themselves. On another note - this is just a point for discussion I guess - I hear this notion of paper money, or FIAT, being backed by nothing, and in the next breath people will then claim that cryptographic 'money' is the solution to that - when in fact 'crypto' is backed by the same nothingness - or in other words, both only have value because there is trust that it represents a valid tender. I think the development is fascinating, although I think that a lot of people have this black/white world view that somehow one is bad and the other one isn't. Anyway - I'll throw an up-vote your way for the excellent and very true point that blaming a whole group of people for something that an individual is doing, is wrong and dangerous.
