I'm also well aware of the arguments supporting Jewish over representation in certain elite institutions, and have found them unconvincing.

Have you considered culture and how that effects individual achievement? Isn’t the same argument the explanation for why blacks commit crimes at a rate disproportionate to their population? Or what do you think causes blacks to be disproportionately poor?

I don’t have time or the interest to breakdown all the issues you’ve linked to Jews. I don’t believe in the answer being that simple. The one issue that sticks out to me that I can refute with common sense is the crime wave, that has to do with unemployment due to covid, plus summer (hot weather is correlated with increased crime). Idle hands are the Devil’s playthings.

You think increased crime has to do with media brainwashing, which I definitely don’t agree with. I see the media issue you raised as historically Jews were kept out of most institutions, which meant that they had to find new institutions where they could participate. Turns out they picked a winning pony with Hollywood. Lucky them. If you keep a group out of the status quo, then they have to hustle and find ways to feed their families. Alternatively, you could see this issue as when people seek to maintain traditional notions of social ordering without challenging it, this leads to complacency and missed opportunities.

The rich have an interest in protecting their property, having the media stoke a narrative that increases property crime is a counterintuitive goal.

I agree that we should be allowed to criticize George Soros for his actions without getting labeled a bigot. If you intend to criticize George Soros for being a Jew, then we won’t ever agree. I criticize behavior and not immutable characteristics of people. Bullies criticize externalities, the wise look at problematic behavior and actions.
