We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

I don't think your method of open ended questions when pointing out some Jewish people as heads of banks (Rothschilds and heads of the federal reserve) hides from your antisemitism.

Example: A good portion of C-suite executives in tech are of indian descent. If they decide to start sending money to Modi or funding parties in the US because of their belief in Hindutva, doesn't mean that it's a global conspiracy or that "they control tech".

They're just rich assholes funding a fascist movement - not to mention the other rich assholes that put money behind movements like that for their own enrichment or ideas (like Zionist Christians who are a much bigger population than Jewish Zionists and very wealthy).

Wealthy benefactors will put down money for a cause they like, bad or good. And if it happens to be a good ROI, then that's all the more reason they'd do it.

Making blanket statements of an ethnicity is racist. Especially when structured power dynamics exist and are very obvious.

Any of this untrue from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chair_of_the_Federal_Reserve

Fed Chairman since 1970:

Arthur Burns 70-78. J. 8 yr

William Miller 78-79. P. 1.5 yr

Paul Volcker 79-87. J. 8 yr

Alan Greenspan 87-06. J. 19 yr

Ben Bernake 06-14. J. 8 yr

Janet Yellen 14-18. J. 4 yr

Jerome Powell 18-26. RC. 8 yr

Kevin Warsh 26- J

J= Jewish, RC = Roman catholic, P = Protestant

Religion is a facet of politics whether thats convenient for you or not and the legends in religions inform how its adherents see the world. When the country has ~2% of the population that are of the Jewish faith, and claiming judaism has any influence in banking is "antisemitism", explain why Its overwhelmingly the norm (~83% of the time) for Fed chairman to be of the jewish faith since 1970?
Is reality itself antisemitic?

Or are you just bad at gaslighting? Maybe you should keep your "antisemitism" accusations to yourself.

To follow up on why I deleted my earlier post, I read over some of your comments and you appear somewhat sane. But if you are going to chase this for your own jollies and some need to lecture people to never mention religion or they're automatically in the wrong, then fine lets do this. I have zero inherent respect for anyones religion and its the root of a lot of bad philosophy, tribalism, conflict and bad governance in the world.
