Spike 12,049 Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 4 hours ago, -Kaplan- said: Most American jews are secular. You can be jewish without being a follower of Judaism. Jews are 2% of the American population, yet you claim we "control" everything behind the scenes. You must have missed your pill. Hurry o n now. People get these paranoid delusions because Jews are over-represented in the media. When half of Hollywood films have Jewish stars, when half of what we see on TV is Jewish people start to get skewed views on reality. In actuality it's just because Jews pretty much created Hollywood and many Jewish cultures have learning and success as an important part of their culture. It's no surprise when a culture that has history of achieving has many people in powerful positions. From my perspective that is something to be proud of. Really, how many Jews go to Temple weekly, practise a Kosher lifestyle and read the Torah daily? Outside of the Hasidic freaks in Brooklyn (I've heard some horror stories about them) not many.

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 It's funny how people want to talk about the over-representation of Jews in so and so entertainment and banking spheres but no one talks about the over-representation of Catholics in fields that do matter. i.e Politics. Just look at American Politics as a case reference. And I'm not against Catholics or anyone by the way. That's obviously an imbecilic way of viewing the world, putting people in these categories. I just think some people have this cognitive bias against certain groups but are numb to or ignorant of the fact that these pre-suppositions can equally be levelled against other societal sub-groups. To a stronger degree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides people see Catholicism as a choice, one can be a Catholic and leave the church and no longer be a Catholic. That isn't the same in Judaism, no matter what a Jew does, they are still a Jew, even if they convert. kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Kaplan- 410 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Indian, Chinese and vietnamese americans also make up a large part of doctors, engineers, architects and other important professionals in the US.

Steve Bannon actually complained about the Asian presence in Silicon valley: Steve Bannon Suggests There Are Too Many Asian CEOs In Silicon Valley and Trump's ideas of Climate change being a Chinese hoax no doubt allowed latent sinophobic tendencies we have not completely rid ourselves of in this nation to disappear. Given the history in the western world its only natural that we all are more sensitive to when someone starts an antisemitic rant, but we must be vigilant in knowing that other groups also get such attacks with less attention. Could you imagine the media reports if Bannon said there were too many Jewish CEOs on Wall Street? Too many African American CEOs in Entertainment? 3 hours ago, MrExcalibur100 said: Yiannopolous is a troll and the alt right is just white supremacy/neo-nazi thought repackaged under a more acceptable brand. Its a sign of progress when a guy who can, openly, be a homosexual and still be on the conservative side. There was a time when conservatives were happy to let their gay friends die quick and painful deaths without as much as an acknowledgement(The Reagans and their buddy Rock Hudson in the 80's being the popular example of this).

To a stronger degree. I question how sincere American politicians are in their faith. Many politicians have switched religions (and switched numerous times). It can make you wonder if they're religious affiliation is changed to suit their electorate. For how over-represented Catholics are in American politics, there's only been one Catholic president, John F. Kennedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif 6,006 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 The top-tier of Jews would be dumb *not* to rule the world with what they have at hand. Jews own all the central banks that loan money to Western governments. They own all of the Western media which forms public opinion and elects politicians. They run the world by default with or without intending to. That doesn't mean they're in control of it, however. More believable than a guy in the sky playing a video game called Earth.

If this was true, why Israel did not just blow up the mosque in the temple mount and build their own temple? It's not that easy, because Muslim view is the most powerful today then any other religion. Everyone is scared to offend a Muslim, but okay to offend Jews, Christian...... kellzfresh, Spike and -Kaplan- 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
