Completely disingenuous article.

>you don't want your country run by people who hate you and openly say as much? guess you're just jelly bro.

  1. Jews are influential well beyond their numbers, particularly due to their over-representation in mass media (news and entertainment), academia, and NGOs;

  2. Jews are highly ethnocentric and keenly aware of their interests, and their influence is used to further their goals (no, this does not mean they are a monolith, but it does mean that disagreements between Jews are frequently about "What's good for the Jews?");

  3. Their interests conflict with Whites.

If you stop at the first point, the 'envy' hypothesis has some surface-level plausibility, but then you miss the most important reasons for the JQ to be a thing in the first place. Honestly, even then 'envy' is a dumb explanation, unless one thinks that the desire for nation states is inherently about envy. I don't want Jews running the country any more than I want Africans or Asians running it.

By making it solely about the representation levels (instead of the consequences), he's able to more or less imply that that Whites who are sick of Jewish rule are comparable to blacks who want to parasitize off of us indefinitely. It also ignores how we can literally just look at places where Jews were removed from power (one particularly striking example comes to mind!) or simply times when they were less influential than today...and then examine the consequences. Coming to the conclusion that less (or no) Jewish influence is preferable than more has nothing to do with envy.
