Firstly, apologies for my "banning the troll" comment. It was way snarkier
than useful, and also factually incorrect. "Thanks for warning the
anti-semite" would have been better on both counts.
To any who have trouble seeing the anti-semitism in Martin's ranting:
(1) It's playing into hundreds of years of anti-semitic myth, going all the
way back to the fraudulent "Protocols of the Elders of Sion" that helped
fuel Henry Ford's antisemitic proselytizing, that was in turn inspiration
for Mein Kampf. In short, Jews control the world economy, and manipulate it
to their own sinister ends. In truth, there are Jews that wield economic
power, yes. And their are many, many more that are poor and working class -
and these are quite often the targets of racist violence that is 'justified'
by theories like the one Martin is raving about.
(2) Come on, already! When you hear someone single out an ethnic group with
the words "the fucking..." in front of it; i.e. "the fucking blacks," "the
fucking mexicans," "the fucking jews," you might want to recognize that some
scary (a) hardcore generalizing and (b) villification is going on.
Particularly when that person is a white person - which is how I read
Martin, I may be wrong - then understand that what is happening is part of
the culture of white supremacy, and the manner in which it is maintained.
I mean, c'mon: how about a critique of the way that the world economy is
controlled by the fucking whites?
