There is Jewish religion (Judaism), Jewish ethnicity (mostly culture), and Jewish race. I am racially Jewish, mildly dislike Jewish culture, and absolutely hate Judaism. Talmudic Judaism is the problem and no sane culture should tolerate this religion. For comparison, Karaite Jews, who reject the Talmud, have never caused serious problems in the countries that they lived in.

I see. Do you read a holy book that isn't the talmud and do you follow for instance Karaite traditions?

[–]fschmidt 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (21 children)

I follow the Old Testament but I am not Karaite. The Karaites have Jewish traditions that are alien to me. And they interpret the Old Testament with strict literalism while I interpret it in the general context of history. My father's family was part of the Hungarian upper class and had no connection to Jewish culture. I was raised with a mix of Hungarian and American culture.

Interesting. Are you a nationalist? And what do you think about Israel existing?

[–]fschmidt 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (19 children)

I support nationalism in theory. I was an American nationalist when I was younger but America has decayed to the point that I am no longer loyal to it. I never had any connection to Jews, so I don't care about Israel one way or the other. Of the nationalities that I know, the only one that I consider to be good is the Japanese. But I don't think I could ever be Japanese. I don't know Russia, I have never been there. I was in Hungary a long time ago. It was nice, but I think Catholic countries are doomed because of the decay of Catholicism. Of the Christian countries, only the Orthodox have a chance of avoiding degeneracy.

No. I am just like a French family who left France and joined another nation. My case, my father was culturally Hungarian, and I was American until America became intolerable, and now I am basically nothing.

Welp there are still some parts of the US that could be normal, no? I heard the Amish just do their thing and don't even read news, they live in their own world. It's possible if you try it seems.

Yes, but actually north Mexico is better for this.

Do you consider Japanese Nationalism good or just the people in Japan? And what do you think about Hungary in WW2?

[–]fschmidt 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (13 children)

Japenese nationalism is good and I hope it increases. They need it to protect their culture from modern western culture.

Hungary was reasonable in WW2. The alliance with Germany made sense at the time. Hungary also refused to murder Jews and other minorities. Later in the war, Germany overthrew the Hungarian government and installed its own puppet regime which then carried out the Nazi programs. But this was Germany's fault, not Hungary's.

Do you know about Unit 731 and Nanking? I undestand Hungary's position at the beginning of the war but I think the uprising that happened later on was stupid and simply spurred by alive nazis residing in Hungary.

I didn't but looked it up. That was Japan, so this doesn't relate to Hungary much.

My understanding of this comes directly from my parents, not from historical sources. And what they said is that the Nazis in Hungary would not have come to power without Germany's backing.

Yes and you were talking about japanese nationialism so I asked about it. What do you think about the Hungarian Revolution?
