Immanuel Kant on the Jews - Was Kant an Anti-Semite? / Jewish Lenders and Merchants

"The Palestinians [Jews] living among us have, for the most part, earned a not unfounded reputation for being cheaters, because of their spirit of usury since their exile. Certainly, it seems strange to conceive of a nation of cheaters; but it is just as odd to think of a nation of merchants, the great majority of whom, bound by an ancient superstition that is recognized by the State they live in, seek no civil dignity and try to make up for this loss by the advantage of duping the people among whom they find refuge, and even one another. The situation could not be otherwise, given a whole nation of merchants, as non-productive members of society (for example, the Jews in Poland). So their constitution, which is sanctioned by ancient precepts and even by the people among whom they live (since we have certain sacred writings in common with them), cannot consistently be abolished — even though the supreme principle of their morality in trading with us is "Let the buyer beware." I shall not engage in the futile undertaking of lecturing to these people, in terms of morality, about cheating and honesty. Instead, I shall present my conjectures about the origin of this peculiar constitution (the constitution, namely, of a nation of merchants)." Immanuel Kant

man-kind survives, we adapt and can become very clever - austerity and hardship breed ingenuity and resilience - take a man back to the wild and he soon learns not only to cope and survive but soon enough to flourish. classic example is hitler blaming the jews for germany losing ww1, russia,usa,uk&france were responsible for the treaty of versaille which de-humanised and crippled germany, not 'jews' - hitler perfected captialist usary banking to build his army, deploring the 'jews' for the same

denied citizenship and persucuted and opressed by crazy catholic christian nutters throughout the ages they were forced to sctracth a life wherever they could, many lived in ghettos and suffered horribly, others found 'other ways', criminality, money lending,etc - these converted 'jews' of khazar were refugees of christianised-viking plunder circa1000ad and are almost all non-semetic in origin they are a large mixture (scythians/vikings/turks/cauca­sus), they were awfully treated for centuries...

enabling them to resist, compete with and eventually dominate the pioneering european empires of spain/portugal etc fractional reserve banking is the perfect usary (costs you nothing - you are king-like enslaving others - just like taxes really, a money tax/debt) now to blame the 'jews' for this is nonsense, we not only allowed it but we are complicit and in the centre of it! btw usary forbidden in Judaism,christianity and islam! the euroepan 'jew' was forced into this life as refugee in europe-

anti-semitism is NOT anit-jewish! one is ethnicity and the other is religious orientation - nationality is Israel (or rather, Palenstine) to hate people for their skin colour or size of their nose is biggotry and the behaviour of the weak (racism - altho I dislike the term as race is a human construct and does not exist in reality) the vast majority of 'jews' are not of 'semitic blood'. Now the usary... north european imperialism was founded on usary - anglo-ducth fractional reserve banking cont

@xlesathx I'm not a troll. I'm just playing a slightly exaggerated version of myself. I still disagree with you about Kant and the Jews, and I still want the "proper response" you mentioned.

" You just blurt out obscenities at me because, God forbid, I have a different point of view, further belittling your arguments."

Don't worry about my fucking obscenities. Just focus on how right I am, asshole.

[RodneyOhebsion]

@xlesathx You know damn well that you owe me more than that. YOU OWE IT TO ME. I want to discuss Kant's anti-Semitic views and your insane response to my upload. And for the record, I'm the most intelligent person in the world, and extremely compassionate to boot. (And why the fuck are you calling me a neo-Nazi?)

"Of course the notion that Jews are greedy, selfish bastards is stereotypical, but it's people like you who so adamantly defend such behaviour that fan the flames of hatred and perpetuate this global antisemitic sentiment."

For the most part, I'm defending MONEYLENDERS and MERCHANTS. If that makes people hate Jews, then fuck those people. They're fucking nuts.

@xlesathx

"And for the record, Israel's brutal, ILLEGAL, occupation of Palestine only exacerbates antisemitism."

And what does that have to do with Jewish merchants and moneylenders? What does that have to do with Kant's anti-Semitic views. What does that have to do with anything--aside from your incessant need to bring it up?

"Kant has done much more for humanity than you ever will."

Are you fucking kidding me? Any random YouTube upload of mine is worth more than all of Kant's critique's combined.
