What a bunch of bullshit hasbara. I guess someone felt threatened so this book was written.

As he explains early on, “Mayer’s story, and that of his entire family, isn’t atypical of other Jews in that sphere — modestly prosperous, hemmed in by culture and tradition, and trying to keep their own company as pressure increased for them to convert.”

But the main function of the book, I think, is also its strongest point, which is that fact is not conspiratorial fiction. The actual Rothschild family is not, and has never been, responsible for conspiracy theories. Conspiracy theorists were and are the responsible party. The conspiracy theories are largely distinct from what the family actually did.

What a strong argument. I think socks wrote it. The fucking wikipedia page is more exciting than this article.
