Great piece! As for the idiot conspiracy-theorist anti-semites who say the Jews control (insert institution here), I say… who better?

There is such a lack of critical thinking in our society! Present the facts and it's not believed! Great article.

Excellent article. People think there are, like, 50 million Jews in America. Seriously, they don't know that there are maybe 7.5 million in America. Even Joe Rogan, when asked how many Jews in the world there are, guessed 500 million. When he was told 15 million in the whole world, Rogan didn't believe it. This is the norm--just go around and ask people.

Do you think the title of this piece and " artwork"help your cause?

It doesn't. I took one glance at it and thought, " Fuck you! Another ignorant hater". The only reason I opened it was to make certain it wasn't a site I subscribed to.

And I'm not Jewish, but sickened by this scourge.

But for every one of " me" are 25 more of " them" and with your unmissable screaming header, the number likely expanded.

I can’t help thinking that if I truly controlled everything, how much better I could make it. I would start with eliminating antisemites. Obviously, my unlimited power met unsurmountable obstacle.

The "control myth" is so transparently false that only imbeciles belief it to be true. It is sad the world is so full of imbeciles. It is close to impossible, if not impossible, for these morons to see the truth of Jewish marginalization, oppression, and vulnerability. We need to be strong and not be overly concerned about it, as there is no logic behind it, only devil inspired Jew hatred and bias.

This goes way back. When the federal reserve act was debated in the US Congress, the major opponents were antisemites who were convinced the banks were controlled by Jews (who wanted to consolidate their control, presumably? Not sure).. The difference is that now, a large fraction of Americans believes such nonsense. It's a symptom of a loneliness epidemic and a lack of meaning and belonging crisis. Jealousy that Jews seem to have belonging. And also as you mentioned, scapegoating is easier than actual diagnosis.
