>Antisemitism exists for a reason, it has always existed when a people must live in close proximity to jews. The jew brings it on itself. It does not arise out of nowhere.
Anti-Semitism is something we swept up and inherited from the Middle Ages and speaks to a retarded culture. I think it was a powerful thing in Germany though because of leftover medievalism in German society including in terms of occupations like farmers, craftsmen and small shopkeepers which all had origins in the Middle Ages but which were all in decline before big corporations took over everything. Basically World War II was the last big break from the horse-drawn society to the horsepower society. Therefore, anti-Semitism is a form of class conflict in the main, but essentially a reactionary fight against modernization and urbanization and globalization and here we are, and necessarily will decline over the long term following the erosion of medieval society where capital *is* Jewish, because that's what Jews did in the Middle Ages.

But if you've ever traded Bitcoin or bought and sold stocks, then you're engaged in speculative activity that would have historically been coded as "Jewish." If you've done any of those things, you are a Jew. And that's most people. That's also why I think the United States has less anti-Semitism compared to most countries even though roughly half of the world's Jewish population lives in America. That is, the anti-Semites around the world often enough don't even know the Jews they decry, but America is also where capitalism is more developed than many countries. In a way, it might have even been historically inevitable that /pol/ would be taken over by thirdies, because they're far better at anti-Semitism, less likely to be ridiculed for it where they're from compared to more developed countries. The very fact of its existence speaks to their relative backwardness.
