Is this ironic?


The problem is that the Venn diagram of a) people who say things like "Financists" unironically and speak of a cabal of people with "usurary (sic) schemes" designed to bankrupt entire civilizations and b) actual, legitimate anti-Semites looks like a blurry circle unless you're right up against it.

It doesn't mean there aren't people in (a) who aren't anti-Semites and who have legitimate grievances. But they're virtually indistinguishable from the people shitposting (or worse let, legitimately posting) on /pol/.


What makes you think that?

The rise of private equity is what immediately came to my mind here, religion never crossed it. I am not in favor of what private equity is doing to the country. The reply seems to assert that I am thus a self-hating jew, which was hurtful of them to say about me.

If anything, connecting the private equity efforts described in GP, to semitism, is what is anti-semetic. Our private equity overlords hail from many religions and backgrounds, and their creed is greed.

The problem is that the Venn diagram of a) people who collect vintage teaspoons and b) competitive yodelers looks like a blurry circle unless you're right up against it. It doesn't mean there aren't spoon enthusiasts who can't carry a tune, but they're virtually indistinguishable from the alpine warblers at international yodeling championships.

I didn't see any reference to judaism in the original post, how you both end up there is just... weird.


No this is a HUGE miss on your part. Those people speak of "a cabal of bankers" or "Globalists". They also blame the people involved, not the ideas they are implementing.
