I’ve unfortunately had enough Jewish friends to feel real pain about the way the world is. In my mid-20s I was burnt out on years of doing an ethnic leaning but still basically civic nationalist thing and decided to “broaden my horizons.” I moved to a major metro and lived in a fairly Jewish area. I even knew a fair amount of Orthodox Jews, rare in my native area.

Unfortunately, I got burned badly on a lot of these situations and had to learn things the hard way. I’d already known people who were into things like K Mac - but I wrote them off. I genuinely thought what Derbyshire called “the Jew thing” was a distraction from good dissident politics.

I don’t need to rehash details but a lot of things happened. Bad business dealings. Relationships where I genuinely helped people and then they were totally transactional with me (“I know we’re friends but what have you done for me lately?”) Attempts to flip on me with politically correct standards I knew they didn’t believe in themselves (“based Shapiro Jews” who were based when it served them but then tried to use the same things against me. LPT: Trust that the least.) It was a lot of very cowardly, messed up things.

I probably wouldn’t let my guard down again but I also wouldn’t with a lot of types of people. In this decadent society, a good majority of people are just shit anyways. I’m very cautious about who I let in.
