Yay!
The weekly shill thread is here!
One day late. Usually it's on Mondays.

But it's not trash. And if you consider it anti-semitic, then facts must be anti-semitic as well.

[Anonymous No.16518683]

Is it actually a history or just schizo shit like "muh judeo marxism"

[Anonymous No.16518714]

>>16518547
Because political books are for schizos who don't realize that no one gives a fuck about what they think and they're not important in any way for the future of their nations.

Haven't read it yet, but he was employed by the south african reserve bank. He, at least, knows about central banking. History is constantly debated outside of concrete facts. I'll evaluate it afterwards. Not OP btw

Why are you so obsessed with what others think of your opinions?

The facts aren't inherently anti-semetic, it just depends on how you view it. To generalize a nebulous problem as the actions of a single group is pretty flawed though, and it really overestimates the agency of Jewish bodies at this time, as well as the degree to which banking dynasties were loyal to their faith, e.g. the Elders of Zion.

Why would it be anti-semtiic? According to themselves, jews were being persecuted out of Europe in the 18th century? Or could it be that maybe they are lying once again?

In Western Europe, they were beginning to assimilate, especially in the Netherlands and Britain. In the East, their rights in the lands of the former PLC were severely curbed during the Partitions, and they restricted to living in underdeveloped land in Pale of Settlement, so relatively on-par with the life of a serf, only stinging more considering they had had far more freedom just a generation past, as opposed to the dozens since of the serfs.

Then, why do they cry so often that natives were so mean to them during the 18th century and bring up the pogroms and other attempts to exile them? And the dutch are the proto-jews of the world; they invented the concept of the IMF, thus it makes sense that jews assimilated well there.

Good thing the author doesn't do that then.
> and it really overestimates the agency of Jewish bodies at this time
No it doesn't, like I said, facts aren't anti-semitic.

Bullshit, they were perhaps becoming more accepted (read: bought more influence) but definitely not assimilated / integrated.

[Anonymous No.16519288]

They meaning a group of cynical Zionists who capitalized on prior mistreatment of Jews to stop their assimilation into their state's European culture.
>pogroms
They were unfortunately somewhat common, but not on the scale of genocide; the animosity towards and from jews was mostly the result of their continued isolation , either by their own choice or that of the state. It was more of an issue in wealthier regions where Jews had enough agency to absorb the ideas of nationalism , and to call for emancipation along these lines, or poorer regions where the Jewish-gentile divide was still strong.
Keep in mind, that the Jews in Northern Germany had far smoother experiences in assimilation, and the the states in the south saw pogroms as unruly mobs, and opposed them thusly.

The Jews of the Netherlands most definitely assimilated; they saw themselves as Dutch to the point of embracing nationalist parties in the 20th century. The actions of a few banking families don't define the Jews as a whole, and their elite tended to convert anyways. Come the late 19th century, the Jews of the German Empire, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Great Britain largely saw themselves as members of that nation, willing to die for it in war, and so-on. The reasons this process ended so abruptly in certain states is due to the fringe Jewish ideologues who sought to capitalize on crises to implement communism, and thus lent credence to the claims against Jews, and in Europe as a whole due to the trauma of WWII.

That cover looks like shit is why. I know don't judge a book by its cover but nothing screams crappy pseudo-history like having a 9 year old do your graphic design. Everything Black House publishes looks like shit and has this problem.

They could unironically make a better cover with just with no pictures at all, or with a single outline of one under the title. It looks like some shitty slide in a TA's half-assed powerpoint.

"Why haven't you read it yet?" answering the question, don't have any interest in arguing about banking shit lmao

Pic for another example. Lots of books in the world. I've found that a great way to prune away stuff that might not be worth the time is to set a rule; no books where the cover looks like they let someone out of a cage for "Photoshop Time" and took the first draft as a final product.

This book is junk. The first paragraph of the introduction has a fake Orwell quote. Spend your time on legitimate works.

Marx was fucking broke and certainly not in the loop with and media or banking concerns (he lost money speculating) for the bulk of his later life. The only money he made was essentially what Engels or his Philips branch of the family gave him (which wasn't much considering he lived in poverty in London.) Not that I give a shit about Marx but its almost as if Bakunin is speaking about some else entirely it's so divorced from Mrax's situation.

[Anonymous No.16520374]

the author’s basic premise is sound, it’s a shame he stuffed his book with so much made up horseshit
