A few thoughts come to mind:

1) Jews own or to a large extent run a lot of the platforms people use to communicate and convey information. So you often aren't allowed to criticize them; antisemitism is the most punished form of racism and as such is typically simply not allowed, at all. As an example, Nick Cannon has been saying anti-white words for a while, no problem. But the day he criticizes Jews he is pretty much de-platformed. Since this is currently a free speech platform, you will see a lot of things you won't see elsewhere.

2) Jews tend to not assimilate as well as other ethnicities. For example, any 3rd+ generation Italian, Irish, Pole, etc. will have almost completely assimilated into society. They won't speak more than a few words of Italian, Polish, etc., they will just have vague stories about their grandparents cooking certain food. They will consider themselves firmly American (in the case of America) and act as such. With the exception of their last name, you couldn't guess their heritage. Your average jew, despite many generations of residency, considers them jewish before american. They are part of a global tribe. In the most extreme example, you have the Hasidic/Ultra-orthodox communities who completely keep to themselves and barely speak English if at all, despite being here for almost a century at this point. This can be seen with extremely high rate of intra-faith marriage and the often mandatory conversion of a non-jewish spouse and the raising of their mixed children as jewish.

3) Many jews will put the interest of their homeland, Israel, above that of their host nation. As an example, if you went up to the average jew and asked "Do you support this $40 billion military aid package to Israel?" They would say yes. If they proposed a similar military aid package to Spain (in my case), I would say "no" without any hesitation.

4) Jews really tend to look after their own. For example, a 4th generation German with the last name Schmidt hiring a new employee would think nothing of an applicant with the last name Fisher. The thought that they share a common heritage most likely wouldn't cross their mind. However, Jews tend to look after their own, hire their own, contract out to their own, etc. I have to imagine this creates resentment.

5) A large part of it might just be jealously. The data shows Jews are almost a standard deviation more intelligent than other groups, so are very successful and over-represented in high level positions, as would be expected. This probably creates resentment among your average person.

These are just some thoughts. I personally like most jews and have a lot of good jewish friends.

    It deserves to be at the bottom. Replace "Jew" with "Wealthy" and it reads identically. #4 is just nepotism pretending as if Jews are somehow special in this regard when they're not. You people just construct a grand conspiracy about people on no actual evidence, or bad evidence, and pretend one group is somehow different from another group. If I were an American living abroad I'd still put America above my occupied nation, yet you invent #3 as if other people don't do this either.

    Frankly, you people are ridiculous, and you need to go back to voat and leave us alone.

    The thoughts from Nightjar do not construct a grand conspiracy, but rather how actions of individuals, together, cause the problems we see but which are taboo to talk about. It's not like jews need to all have evil anti-whitey conversations for all of this to take place, though I have legitimately had a jew tell me that an area was "too WASPY". WASP meaning white anglo saxon protestant.

    "Problems". I don't see nationalism or personal identity as "problems". I don't see accumulating wealth and succeeding by caring about your children to be "problems". What I see are people crying that they're not as successful, and like the radical left instead of trying to personally succeed want to drag others down. Of course personal identity becomes nepotistic, but this is a human trait. Not a "jew" trait. I've heard similar bullshit from white, black, mexican, canadian, on any spectrum of identity. The problem is this proxy of nepotism, among people as a whole.

    I'm not talking about nationalism or personal identity. I'm talking about the things listed in OP.

    Point 3, specifically, is about having allegiance to a nation other than the one you're living, working, voting in.

    ...And? Everyone does it. If I worked abroad, I'd be doing it. There's a reason I think naturalization should be second generation, not first in any circumstance, in any nation. Many reasons in fact. My point was blaming "the jews" for this is deliberately ignoring the behavior of many to construct a ridiculous conspiracy as if a few are somehow special, when they're just like everyone else.

    LMAO, if you were a citizen in another country, you'd be a shill/spy for your birth country? That's what you are saying is ok.

    Of course it looks ridiculous. But what makes you think they should go back to voat? Do you not understand the very purpose of free speech? This is exactly what they need to hear. Yes, them. But if you're too weak to hear their (honest?) answers, then don't listen. You don't have to participate either. If you want a safe space, go talk to your mommy. If you want to listen to ideas that will challenge your, then you belong on a free speech platform.

    You types seem to think projecting your frailty, as you do, is somehow opaque instead of transparent. You're boring. I'm bored. Whenever you types are called out you just resort to personal insult or trolling. Case in point, you didn't actually address anything I said, just called me a coward. I think you're the one who is scared, otherwise why would you try so hard to act tough? It's really kind of pathetic.

    I think you hit reply to the wrong person. You: "you need to go back to voat and leave us alone." Me: "what makes you think they should go back to voat?" "You ... seem to think projecting your frailty, as you do, is ..." So me asking why is fragile but you demanding others leave lest they hurt your fragile ears isn't?

    You: "It deserves to be at the bottom." Me: "Do you not understand the very purpose of free speech? This is exactly what they need to hear." You: "you just resort to personal insult or trolling. Case in point, you didn't actually address anything I said, just called me a coward." What part of 'they need to hear this' is an avoidance of your speech?
