What is with the faulty logic, honestly? There is a segment of upper crust leftist jews that watch each other's backs and push this shit, along with their allies.

It doesn't mean ALL. It doesn't mean YOU. But your kneejerk reaction DOES prove the insularity inherent in that culture, which further strengthens the point that nepotism, favoritism, and insularity is being practiced. Even you defend them immediately. I'm sure they are even more vehement about it.

Yeah, there's a bunch of rich Jews who I don't know, I'm unrelated to, and rub elbows with rich gentiles to fuck over the normal people.

So you guys come out here, blame all Jews, and now I gotta worry about being stabbed in the back by people I thought were my political allies.

Damn.

Who blames all? That's stupid. This is not a black or white thing. It is a segment, which happens to be highly influential and powerful, and insular.

You force people into binary reasoning, for no logical reason. You want us to think their culture has nothing to do with their actions, but that's obviously not true. I read what they write, you see. Tikkun Olam.

Here you go, just one example: https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/tikkun-olam-repairing-the-world/

“Tikkun olam ” (Hebrew for “world repair”) has come to connote social action and the pursuit of social justice. The phrase has origins in classical rabbinic literature and in Lurianic kabbalah, a major strand of Jewish mysticism originating with the work of the 16th-century kabbalist Isaac Luria.

The goal of such repair, which can only be effected by humans, is to separate what is holy from the created world, thus depriving the physical world of its very existence—and causing all things return to a world before disaster within the Godhead and before human sin, thus ending history.

This is batshit stuff, man.

Guess I shouldn't believe my lying eyes. It's clear these beliefs have had major influence all the way back to people like Marx. In the very early 1900s there was a lot of pride over communism being heavily influenced by these beliefs.

I'm white, I'll freely condemn the large segment of white people who are intent on self-destruction and mayhem. It doesn't bother me to say so. Many of them are Unitarian type Christians. I'm Christian, but I have no problem saying that.

So you see, why can't you do the same?

Similar crap occurred in my church, so I said no thanks and decided to read the bible on my own together with all of the many practical observations of human nature from our country's founders and others. I find our founding documents to be deeply inspired.

I couldn't be happier nor feel more connected to God than I do today, having given up this type of mystic bullshit. It's not specific to Judaism by any means. The same crap happens any time a particular denomination or entire religion gains strong political favor in a society.
