So all right wingers are anti-jew? Meaning conservatives? Republicans?
I don't see the problem in generalizing groups, but lets get serious.
Butmaybe I mis-understood your implication, if any was made.
I still havn't seen anybody speculate as to why ( some reasons) that white americans will be the minority soon.
I did, but I was condemned by some of you.
Maybe no one cares why, just accept it and don't question it.
No, not "all right wingers are anti-jew" but what I found in Poland is that the majority of people with anti-Jewish views and sentiments are also right-wing conservatives (the Republican tag can't be translated readily into one of the Polish political parties). Sorry, that's just the case.
As for why white Americans will be the minority soon, well, it's a variety of factors, but most of them revolve around birth rates and immigration.
For those who don't want to accept this developing reality, perhaps they should suggest that any non-white person be counted as 3/5th of a person for purposes of census-taking? Or maybe other policies could be implemented that would make this population trend less disturbing to you?
Poland always had troubles with antisemitism even after the second world war. America's religion at the base is protestantism, which was also the religion of the british and anglo saxon settlers. I wouldn't say that Poland is an American right winger dream come true. First the population of the USA are not comparable. In the USA, you have many religions like Catholicism, Judaism, Orthodoxism, Buddhism, Islam and Hinduism. I don't think all people who live in America would like to be forced to change their religion. Poland was always a catholic country by default with a very small immigration rate. Look also what happened in Spain and in Portugal during the inquisition, it is not specific to Poland, antisemitism has existed and will sadly continue to exist because some people who are stupid, ignorant and total dumbshits will never question themselves nor their country when it faces economic or social troubles but will always put the blame of people of another or another religion just to find a justification and the reason of all their problems even if it is false. Jewish people have always very well integrated themselves socially and culturally to other countries where they migrated in.
By saying that Poland is, in many ways, an American right-winger's dream come true, I meant this much:
- The overwhelming majority of people are white
- The overwhelming majority of people are Christian (as in Catholic - in the USA, most Christians of any kind see the differences among the Christian religious sects as minimal and just friendly differences, even if they were not friendly differences at all years ago)
- Capitalism and the imperative of free markets dominates and is getting stronger. There is little anti-capitalism there (let alone anything approaching socialism or communism), as far as grassroots movements and intellectual theorizing go.
- There is little deviation from traditional (in this case, Catholic) ways of thinking
As for this assertion:
"Jewish people have always very well integrated themselves socially and culturally to other countries where they migrated in"
I think Poland serves as an interesting counterexample of that. There is considerable controversy there over the degree to which Jews isolated themselves in their own neighborhoods and interacted with non-Jewish Poles. Some thinkers attribute this separation as a factor in some instances of indifference displayed by non-Jewish Poles when Polish Jews were persecuted, put into ghettoes, or executed en masse, or when non-Jewish Poles looked the other way or even collaborated in the Holocaust. (This is not to discount the large numbers of non-Jewish Poles who did precisely the opposite, or the fact that Hitler & Co's hatred of non-Jewish Poles - and Slavs generally - was basically right up there with the hatred of Jews). So, I disagree with that assertion. And Poland is not the only European country where the assimilation and integration of Jews into various nation-states has been debated for its adequacy in the pre-WWII years.
