I want to bring on a nuanced discussion, & bring the topic out of the shadows, & into the light. The topics that are the most taboo, controversial, & make us uncomfortable are the topics we need to talk about the most.
TL;DR:
This video lays out the issue beautifully in under 9 minutes.
If it's okay to criticize Islam & Muslim culture, & if it's okay to criticize Christianity & Christian culture, then it's okay to criticism Judaism & Jewish culture. Criticism is not the same as hatred.
I'll explain why I used the terms I've used toward the end.
When it comes to the discussion of both Zionism and Jewish supremacism, the mainstream presents anyone who criticizes Zionism (or Jewish supremacist power ) is an irrational antisemite, and the Zionist Occupied Government and Jews being over-represented in positions of power (in government, media, and business) is just an antisemitic conspiracy theory.
Basically, this;
What happens is that the media, instead of picking the most articulate people with nuanced views (such as Ryan Dawson), they pick people who are neither articulate nor nuanced, such as Neo-Nazi skinheads.
Or if someone who is articulate does get criticized, character assassinations are used and none of their strong points are actually addressed.
This even happens to well-known commentators, such Sargon of Akkad, who has very nuanced social and political views.
And I see this happen to David Duke (not that I agree with his views, but his videos about Zionist power and influence quite convincing to me), who has a Wikipedia article written about him.
When it comes to any other large group with a supremacist group in it, most notably the National Socialists for Caucasians, the main culture can separate themselves from said supremacist group. I don't see why Jews cannot separate themselves from, say, Zionism. I know that not all Jews are racists.
While there is a culture of in-group nepotism and victimhood, there is also a culture of paranoia. What is seemingly going on is that Jewish children are raised by their parents, teachers, and so on, is, as Ryan Dawson mentioned in a talk with Resurrect the Republic, to think "that everyone is out to get you all the time, that the next Holocaust is right around the corner, and you should be afraid of everyone all the time. And the only way to stop it is to get them first".
I am not alone in thinking that both paranoia & a victim mentality is seemingly common among Jews;

"That's how most Jewish people write off any criticism of them: "You're just another anti-Semite." No need to actually address that was said, just label them "anti-Jewish" and suddenly you don't have to come to terms with how bigoted Jews can be.
Newsflash: I married a Jew."

"Honestly, if I hated you and your people so much... why are you still allowed to comment here? Why don't I delete your comments? I won't, I just have to wonder what justification you can come up with for the fact that I tolerate you."

The way I see it, one can hardly be more hypocritical than being a Zionist partisan who hates Muslims (and especially the type who literally wants to kill all the Muslims in the world, mainly with nuclear weapons) while at the same time will unconditionally support the actions of the Israeli government.
Conservatives can see right through when a Black individual gets confronted for something and using their victimhood status to accuse the individual doing the confronting of being "racist". But when the same thing is done to a Jewish individual, if the Jewish individual cries "Antisemite!" and everyone accepts the accusation and shuts up.
Are there some people who criticize Obama for being multiracial? Yes. But do most people criticize Obama for being multiracial? No.
Think about it. What if Arabs created a religion in which their God only loved them or loved them above other groups? What if Whites created a religion in which their God only loved them, or loved them above other groups?
This is why, even though I support freedom of religion, I hate religion in of itself.The supernatural elements of religion is especially difficult to debate, & often makes it nearly impossible to change someone's mind.
I support predominately Jewish groups such as Jews For The Preservation of Firearms Ownership, Orthodox Jews United Against Zionism, & Torah Jews | Against Zionism, along individuals such as Yaron Brook (who himself morally supports Israel), Jeff Blankfort, David Cole/Stein, Norman Finkelstein, Stephen Zunes, Rob Prince, Bob Tuskin, Gilad Atzmon, Peter Schiff, along with anti-communist Jews such as Herman Kahn, John von Neumann, & Edward Teller, & libertarians like Milton Friedman, David Friedman, Ludwig von Mises, Robert Nozick, Ayn Rand, Murray Rothbard, & Israel Kirzner.
I also like Eric Yoffie's advocacy for religious & general social tolerance (I disagree with his stance on gun control, though I think that he is well-intentioned about it).
I doubt that this is genetic. This is probably environmental. I've read articles talking about Holocaust Survivor trauma genes and genetic diseases, but that will be a different article for the topic of Jewish genetics, genetic diseases and behavior, as that this one is about politics, social issues and philosophy, not genetics or anthropology, which isn't my forte.
One idea that I have is to tell people who are currently in Israel who are not Jewish supremacists to leave Israel & leave the real Jewish supremacists in Israel to suffer the consequences of their militarism, imperialism, aggression & overall violent behavior that gives the actual Jew haters the very reason for hating the Jewish people.
Despite what many will assert, I still will protect the individual, Gentile or Jew.
For example, if I was in law enforcement, I would never search someone's house simply because they're Jewish; I would still get a warrant before doing that. Likewise, if I was a Judge, I will never make a decision on a search warrant, arrest warrant, or other legal order against someone on the basis of rather they are a Jew or Gentile.
Jew or Gentile, if we are serious about wishing to live in a truly free society, we must follow due process.
I am a believer in Blackstone's Ratio.
Another reason why I don't think that Israelis or the Jewish people are beyond redemption is that the Israeli Defense Forces has a problem with suicide rates, which, because it involves human suffering, I am not happy for, but at least we can tell that they probably do have some humanity in them, & are redeemable.
There is nothing wrong about Jews being successful in business, government, media or whatever. What is wrong is the identity politics that leads to one holding loyalties to some perceived ethnic or religious group & the lack of ethics that are inherent in identity politics.
One of the biggest problems that I have with the Alt-Right is how much they talk about problems caused by people who are Jewish & tend to blame Jews for almost every political problem faced by the west today, but don't seem to be against authoritarianism when it comes from their team (especially authoritarianism from other Christian Caucasians or at least Caucasians), & are virtually always authoritarians themselves.
Judging from the comments sections of videos where Ryan Dawson debates with White Nationalist types, it seems that they hate non-Whites and especially Jews more than they love freedom.
I am against Jewish supremacism for the same reason why I am against White supremacism, Black supremacism, & so on, is because I oppose racial supremacism in general, because I am a libertarian, & I oppose coercion & the initiation of force or threats thereof, & the reason behind that would require more articles & videos.
Similarly, I oppose identity politics, in part because it will eventually lead to sectarianism.
Let's take Iraq for example. If everyone's first identity was simply Iraqi, there wouldn't be fights between Sunni, Shitte/Shia, Kurds, & so on & so forth. This is basically a simplified version of what Ryan Dawson has said in several live streams.
I criticize Zionist Jews because they're the group most powerful in Western Politics now.
But even after they are out of power, I will still take a stand against big government because big government is one of the largest causes of problems in society, mainly ruining the economy & education with regulation & interventionism, violating the rights of the people that live under them, & causing wars & being imperialistic.
One of the biggest problems I have with the Alt-right & related circles is that they seemingly hate Jews more than they love freedom.
When it comes to why I am saying "Jew" so much even though I am not referring to all or even the majority of Jews. The video "Do we call them Jews or Zionists?" explains this issue.
Thanks to the media, and thanks to genuine Jew haters that the former tends to concentrate on, while whenever we, say, criticize Italian organized crime, we don't have to make a disclaimer, but when one criticizes Zionism, let alone Jewish supremacy, if they aren't an actual Jew hater, they have to make a disclaimer that they're not Jews in general.
Note: if you're wondering about the tone for this article, this is somewhat directed to Israel supporters who go to great lengths https://www.quora.com/As-an-Israel-supporter-how-would-you-respond-to-the-article-Why-Israel-supporters-should-stop-using-the-anti-Semite-or-Jew-hater-arguments (granted, the question was asked in part to find flaws in the article). I don't know how to virtue signal much harder than this.
I guess Officer John Slugfish was right when he in the Spongebob Squarepants episode "Keep Bikini Bottom Beautiful" when he said "Some people never learn".
