do you know why us Jews are "good at money"? because we were forced into it. In many parts of the world, like Germany, the Jews were barred from employment in roles that normal bavarians could do and were forced to banking. The conspiracy theory that Jews purposely took over the banking sector to rule the world is a complete lack of knowledge about history and pure retardation to point fingers at a scapegoat... which worked for the Nazis and still works today for dumbfucks like "cypherpunk"

They were managing the money, not just taking it. But I wouldn't expect a smooth brain like yourself to understand that.

They were not "forced".

Bavaria was part of the Carolingian empire. Usury had already been banned in 806 and in 814 Charlemagne got really specific:

"Let no Jew presume to have a money-changer's table in his house"

This predates the church law in 1311 that was directed at Catholics.

The following chapter from The Oxford handbook of the economics of religion explains Jewish self selection into finance in detail

The Hebrew bible also bans usury of course, except it's ok to do it to Gentiles because of our supposed moral failings.
