    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    Uh, there are natives in the Eastern US; the reservations are small but they are there, and that's only for 'officially recognized' tribes.

    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    Again, who defines what is 'meeting' or 'exceeding', or even what the 'requirements' are? Those are not universal constants that will be uniform across the world, much less within a large melting pot like the US.

    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    What defines 'success' or 'adequacy'? Because how you define them is not how they are defined universally; different people and groups will have different definitions for how them, and act accordingly.

    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    And I never said anything about trying to make people millionaire's, either, you did. You took umbridge at what I said and started layering on your own assumptions about what I meant. The 'Blame the system' vs 'Pull yourself up by your bootstraps' stuff is about far more than economics, but...

    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    And I never said there was anything wrong with those jobs, you made that assumption yourself. What I was trying to point out is that the 'Blame the system' and the 'Pull yourself up by your bootstraps' views are both wrong and missing a lot of nuance.

    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    To be fair, a lot of people on the Right act like 'just pulling yourself up by your bootstraps' can fix pretty much any issue a person faces. The truth is both views are wrong, and only exist for virtue signalling purposes. There is a limit to how much personal drive or commitment can...

    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    I do not even know how to disect how wrong you are, because it's like an onion of ignorance or willful acceptance of Hamas and co propaganda.

    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    'Privilege' is a Leftist/socialist theory that punishes people for luck, good fortune, and ancestors accomplishments. Also, Israel is not an 'aparthied' state or even close to it; you've swallowed a lot of Hamas propoganada if they actually think it is. As well, why should Israel be held to a...

    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    See, that's the thing, Israel hasn't abused the Palestinians; they've been abused by their own leaders for decades and told it's the Jew's fault. Israel has actually repeatedly tried to find a way to peacefully exist with them, and every time they get close to something resembling a peace deal...

    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    Physiognomy is just reskinned phrenology, which was used to 'scientifically' justify why African Americans/African slaves were 'less intelligent' by psuedo-science quacks in the 1800's. That Fried actually treats it seriously is...well, I guess unsurprising given his other views and ideas about...

    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    That you actually believe in freaking physiognomy explains so much about you. And if you actually understood the optics of your arguments around Jews, of any political persuasion, you understand what Lord Sovereign meant by Leave It Alone. Too few people on the Far-Right, and really the Right...

    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    First, nice of you to put in the effort to actually spell my name correctly for once. Second, I don't claim to know everything, but I am not ignorant of how the Right looks from the outside, or how the Right sees itself. I say what I say because I understand something so many on the Right...

    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    Yep, and it's rather infuriating to see them trying that shit again in the modern political climate. But the people who go with those arguments also tend to think that optics don't matter, only ideological purity and party loyalty.

    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    Have you considered that the reason the Left keeps wining is because, shock of shocks, they have policies that are more attractive (on the surface) to a larger part of the population than R policies? Have you considered that some losses cannot be reversed, and new realities must be dealt with as...

    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    I learned to accept defeat from a young age, and understand that defeat does not mean the end of things, it just means dealing with the world as it is, not as you want it to be. I learned you cannot change the world, you can at best live in it and try to get by with the changes that happen...

    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    Nope, just not an ideologue, and someone who understands that change cannot be stopped most of the time, only adapted to. Fried, the Right already lost the fight for the culture war and the Overton window. I'm just trying to help the Right salvage what they can, assuming we ever get...

    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    I'm someone who puts practical realities before ideological purity, and someone who is allied with the Right, but lives in the center. I am trying to get people on the Right to look beyond 'conventional' conservative positions and begin to adapt the Right to the realities of modern politics...

    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    Well, if the amount of Jews who are pro-gibs outweighs the amount of anti-gibs Jews, perhaps being more pro-gibs would increase the amount of Jews who vote R. It seems like pretty simple math to me. I would have no objection to bringing back the CCC, and think it would be a great idea...

    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    Have conservatives ever considered principles don't put food on the table, but gibs will? The absolute hate for welfare programs on the Right is one of the biggest reasons the Left is able to paint the Right as heartless. Automation is destroying the paradigm that conservatives built their...
