I of course refer to the "Jesus Question". Which is to say, all of society's problems stem from people's personal weakness, pride and moral cowardice.
Ultimately all the criticism of Jewish misbehavior are nothing particularly special. There are large subsets of Arab, Persian, Indian and African society currently reputed to engage in at least as much, if not more civilization-defecting behaviors. The hasbara line about it is essentially that people are mad that the Ashkenazim are simply better at being bad.
This of course flies in the face of evidence. The Jewish ethnic mafiosi are simply the ultimate beneficiary of the US' first wave of mafia formation thanks to early 20th century mass immigration. In the period between the NOF regime in '24 and Hart-Cellar in '65, it is not shocking that a period of mafia consolidation occurred. Lacking a hose of fresh coethnic victims, the gangsters ate each other alive and Sidney Korshak and his ilk came out on top.
This was not so much due to any particular genius on their part; gangsters are not particularly well known for their IQ. Nor was it their particular clannishness; many other ethnic groups at the time were as much if not more so. Ultimately it was an accident of history. The wrong people, in the right place at the right time.
JQ guys do have a point when they mention that this is not exactly the first time Jewish ethnic mafiosi have cordycepted a state. Unfortunately, they learn the incorrect lesson.
The reason this keeps happening is because the state itself is pretty much purpose built to corrupt people, and attract the corrupted. The ring of power does not exactly attract people who are not on some level aspiring to be Nazgul. Sure, AIPAC and its extended network of crooks are bad hombres. But if it wasn't them it would have been someone else.
History is full of many, many more examples of ethnic mafias holding outsized influence on the state and culture at large that were not Jewish. In fact it is so common as to be the default situation. Perhaps we should ask the Jurchen question? I'm sure the Han are. The state is nearly always a minority ethnic mafia coalition squatting on various other groups.
Even when it isn't, if the situation persists long enough, ethnogenesis occurs! This is essentially the whole story of how India's caste system formed in the first place. Reintegrating the Yakuza into mainstream Japan has proven nearly impossible, and they largely formed out of the shattered wreck of the prewar regime. As they say, the past is a foreign country.
Any sufficiently large group of cultural aliens will always form an ethnic mafia. Absolute depravity and all that, yanno? If you don't like religious argumentation, the "Geeks, MOPs and Sociopaths" essay from Vox Day ought to get you there.
So long as a fresh supply of coethnics is available to exploit, they will grow in power and influence. Cut off the supply and they will integrate into broader society, for both good and ill. Mafias don't become a charity overnight.
I mean sure culture and ethnicity are a spook and entirely made up. This does not change the fact that if people don't have these they hallucinate them into being every single time. We are pattern matchers, we have instincts and we gotta put shit in the bucket; this is how our minds work. Without a predictive model the organism can do no more than act randomly.
It is impossible to build a system in which being r-selected at least some of the time is not advantageous. Societal defection and all other manner of sin is inevitable. What is not inevitable is your reaction.
There is only one ideology worth holding and it is this:
Reward good behavior, Punish bad behavior.
Failing to do this (or doing the opposite) at scale is the root of our dysfunction.
When you understand that this is most of the meaning of "love thy neighbor as you love thyself", you become enlightened.
All the gibbering and ocean of spilled ink is failure to pull the plank from our own eyes. We absolutely have the government and society we deserve. Demonstrated preference rules everything around me.
