    Okay so I’m not a Jew and I don’t know any Jews (I live in West Germany, for some reason there’s not that many here side-eye-1 ) so correct me if I’m wrong, it seems to me that Jewish oppression and antisemitism are very different from racism, transphobia, homophobia etc. There is less casual, internalized antisemitism on a wide-spread scale and it’s more focused on extremists, but those extremists hate them all the more. So basically you’re less likely to miss out on a job because of who you are than a black or a trans person is, but you’re just as likely to get shot at a synagogue as a muslim is at a mosque.

    Again, this is my impression as someone who is mostly clueless, so feel free to tell me that I couldn’t be more wrong and Jews experience microaggressions all the time, I genuinely have no idea.

      What are they going to do if they give up on that? They need something to replace the bourgeoisie as misdirection and miseducation or the only people with anything that feels like a viable theory would be communists.

      for a while there we did ban Jews from owning land and required an oath to Christ to join a guild. But also have since stopped doing that and now the global finance system is run by frat dudes and the British aristocracy

        Yeah, but even under medieval usury laws, the Jewish bankers that frothingfash scream about didn’t actually own any of that money due to it all being claimed by the crown under special, Jew-only taxes.

          that is true also this is an area of grand hypocrisy as Jews of the time would lend money to the aristocracy (which given that English Jews were legally slaves of the king practically functioned as a means of consolidating power away from the lesser aristocracy and into the crown especially as the prohibition on Jewish landownership meant land owed as collateral would go to the king)

          anyway the reason this is such hypocrisy is that while the aristocracy were chafing under usery of owing money they also made all their money by lending in kind to peasants and having them pay in work worth more than what they were lent. Which is in every way but the most technical of loopholes some of the most abominable usery imaginable that kept generations in what can fairly be called a form of slavery
