What’s the Cause of Antisemitism

Jews are special in many ways. Winning nobel price is one of them.

However, fortunately, having large number of people hating them is not one of their special trait.

Evidences:

If we study chimps we will see that for primates, hatred is actually natural. It’s what we do against anyone that get in the way of our reproductive success. It’s very understandable.

Prohibition of all victimless crimes (such as being jewish, or smoking dope) in our species are based on simple hatred, which is masked under 1001 pretexts. Some of those pretext is often “love” of the victim, which is utter BS.

Facts of (Political) Life

People act based on their beliefs.

Certain beliefs are beneficial for certain people. For example, Machiavelli argued that a prince need to be feared and loved. In a twisted sense, “fair” simply means beliefs that whoever screw me get screwed and whoever bless me got blessed. Somehow.

Because of that, people always maintain the beliefs that they are fair, honorable, feared, nice, and good to the point of decepting themselves.

People are stupid. Not in a sense that they’re idiot. Most of us are programmers, engineers, free thinkers, etc. We don’t know politic. I don’t when I was young. I barely know the surface of it now.

2. The thug does want to do appendices surgery to help your son.

Which one is right?

Well, it’s not that hard to figure out.
