One of the bases of Western anti-semitism (which used to mean hatred of “Semites”—that is, both Jews and Muslims) was the strong moral aversion in Medieval Western societies to commercial activity. The Church and the aristocracy believed that there was a natural class order, where benevolent aristocrats ruled over a dependent peasantry. Trafficking in commerce and money was seen as “dirty.” This is in part why Medieval European princes often had to invite immigrants—Jewish merchants—to kickstart economic growth in their domains. These immigrants were segregated from the rest of the population in order to avoid disrupting the feudal balance of power in the majority Christian population. This segregation and the perception that Jews had privileges that Christian peasants didn’t have of course nurtured a lot of prejudice and resentment. Simultaneously, Jews were often barred from owning land or working in agriculture—activities that were designated for Christian landlords and serfs, the classes who were supposedly part of the “natural order.”

The “bourgeois revolution” in Europe—the commercial revolution that generated capitalism, beginning in the Renaissance—was in this sense a genuine cultural revolution against the static and segregated worldview of feudalism. The European merchant classes needed to fight to emancipate themselves from both Church and State. This was not the case in Islamic-majority societies, where commercial activity was already well established, extending back to ancient Mesopotamian and Levantine commercial traditions.

Dear socialists on #Nostr,

Libertarians and socialists could actually live together without any trouble if it weren’t for socialists always resorting to tyranny and enforcing others into slavery to their system.

There is nothing about socialism (commune living) as a chosen way to live that’s incompatible with freedom. It’s when you decide it’s ok to force your religion onto everyone else by pointing the state gun at everyone’s head, forcing them to pay for a system and people they don’t agree with, making them slaves.

If people don’t agree with your system, leave them alone and live your own life, and you won’t start a war. 😁👍🏻

Cheers

My condolences to the single-issue Bitcoiners who supported a presidential candidate who's now officially a fully-retarded shitcoin scammer.

Coutesy of Vladimir Go lstein:

USA -- three hundred fifty years old.

Modern Israel -- less than one hundred.

And yet, American Jews claim to understand and to know everything there is to know about such thorny issues as Judaism, Jews, antisemitism, historical unfolding, and so on.

Why? It is simple! For half of them, being a Jew =Israel. For another half, being a Jew =anti-Israel. You know, you are either Democrats or Republican.

And these two groups of losers keep on pontificating on issues which are way beyond their knowledge, comprehension, or experience.

Consequently the rest of the world, thinks that there are no other choices than following these two groups of self-deluding maniacs, like Alan Dershowitz or Norman Finkelstein.

How pathetic.

And by the way. My father, like the fathers of numerous Russian Jews, actually fought the Nazis on the fields of WWII. And made it alive. So he is as much a survivor of Nazis, as any fashionable pontificator with the claims that being a child of survivors gives them a special knowledge of everything related to Jewish experience.

comparing what hitler did to the jews with what the jews are doing to palestinians.

Hitler was more humane..

That's because there is no jewish category in porn. White women can't even identify a jew to begin with. The funny thing is that these kikes push this shit heavily even though its not making them bank. These whores ask for higher prices when shooting with black men and some of them flat out refuse.

Most people don’t have any serious mental health issues.

Just ordinary misery.

A little depression and a little anxiety are normal.

That’s part of an ordinary life. Not something that needs to be medicated.

Not something that requires years of therapy.

Just the normal course of events.

And can be remedied quite easily with exercise, nutrition, social relationships, sunlight and a feeling of purpose.

ELON TOOK THE AMERICA HANDLE TO PROMOTE TRUMP.

HE CAN TWEET FROM BIDEN'S ACCOUNT OR THE WHITE HOUSE'S. AT WILL.

FUCK IT. HE COULD TWEET FROM MULTIPLE MAJOR HANDLES AT THE SAME TIME.

EVERYONE WOULD BELIEVE THEY ARE REAL. IMPOSSIBLE TO VERIFY THEY ARE NOT.

HE COULD MAKE A MOCKERY OF ANY PERSON. ANY COMPANY. ANY COUNTRY.

HE COULD CRASH GLOBAL MARKETS OR START A WAR IF HE WANTED.

NOSTR IS NEEDED. NOSTR FIXES THIS.
