Hey man, I just wanted to first say, I like you. It's rare to have someone with a different perspective not act like a jerk and an asshole about it. You are clearly much more confident in your intelligence than most people I have talked to on reddit to on saidit and I both admire that, and will add that that confidence is well deserved.

I agree to an extent. It's definitely kinda fucked up how far back the line was drawn because of Hitler. The guy was awful, but literally everyone has redeeming qualities.

It is bizarre to me how the numbers in the holocaust don't add up. Some how it's 6 million Jews, but also gays, blacks and political dissidents were also included, but the number is 6 million Jews of 6 million dead.

That said.

No one has any issues if you say the Jews run Hollywood. It's generally well known, and unless there were other reasons to suspect you are being anti-semetic rather than just explaining the fact that Jewish people are very well connected in Hollywood.

People don't get upset if you say there is a disproportionate number of Jews in Politics.

It's when you start getting it wrong people have an issue. Even if it's just a tiny exaggeration. Meanwhile I will admit that the left is able to exaggerate and misinterpret everything a white person says.

So I would definitely give you that.

I would also definitely agree that Jews both have a disproportionate amount of power generally and have a tendency to help each other out in ways that other white people generally don't and would be perceived racist if they did.

But apart from Hollywood and the financial industries, I really just don't buy that Jews have that much power. I think in the US at least Anglo-Saxons if anything have the most disproportionate amount of power. Apart from Kennedy, and Trump, every president we have ever had has been at least half Anglo-Saxon.

I don't know man. I can understand to an extent where you are coming from, but you appear to be grasping at straws at least to me.

I'm genuinely curious though what had inspired this perspective in you. I am not above the idea that maybe I am missing something.

I'm kind of drunk right now though. Been doing beer flights at breweries all night. Feels great!
