They are largely democrats though aren't they? Just seems to me that the democrat party is much less friendly with Israel than the Republicans. I wouldnt be entirely surprised if they intentionally ran Jewish people for certain seats to basically de-fang the Republicans since it used to be the case that any criticism of Israel was considered anti Semitic.

I think the best argument is that Jewish people are incredibly over represented over any other ethnicity per capita in their influence in western politics and media, and you can draw whatever conclusions you want from that.

I agree with this, personally I think the reasons are explainable but I think this is why many people do view them with suspicion.

Whenever I've tried to look into conspiracy stuff surrounding them it usually just seems to revolve around what you just mentioned or particular verses in their religious text. I haven't found either particularly convincing so far.

same, i've revisted it in audiobook, better but still dry.

i prefer a few youtube channels that do videos with illustrations on each different story within. much more digestible. reading pages of Denathor the 2nd son of Denathor the first, son of Daemathor 3rd son of Dematrathor..... no thx

what are the explainable reasons that you've come up with?

i'll give an example, 25% of lex fridman's guests are ethnically Jewish and 70% of his political guests (which would be a 35x representation) are ethnically Jewish. What explains this extreme over representation and is it something we should be against especially in the era of demand for diversity in media?

bankers run the world. so? who are the bankers that are 'loaning all this money?

Yeah it reminded me of the Bible with all of that stuff, I've done the same with individual stories though, they were quite cool. Very tokienesque to bury a good story under a ton of lengthy exposition or description lol



Well first is my opinion of the actual religion of Judaism, I think because of how it is studied and taught from a young age it prepares children very well for a life of academic pursuit which is also heavily promoted in Jewish culture.

Second is the holocaust/ww2 being central to America's self image, I see it as one of the main reasons why Americans and their government see it as necessary to intervene around the world. For this to be the case it has to be kept in the public consciousness which results in Jewish people being seen as a sort of eternal victim/ living reminder of what could happen if they don't intervene. You can see similar things happening with the social justice movement now, they essentially want equal representation amongst minorities and whites in leadership positions but this will ultimately result in an over representation amongst those groups relative to their actual population.

And third I think Israel was important to the US as a means of control/destabilization in the Middle East, this probably wouldn't be a direct cause of the over representation of Jewish people in media and government but I think it probably played at least some role.

Regarding the Friedman podcasts I'm not really sure, I've watched him a few times and enjoy his stuff but I don't know enough about him to account for something like that, could be he just has a lot of Jewish contacts given his name.

hes trying to get you to post something that will get you cancelled

Oh this is nasty...
