You don't get thrown out of every bar in the town for no reason.

But even if they are being not nice holocaust and gulags are a tad of an overreaction

Well what exactly did they do?

Seems like they just tended to win at capitalism a lot

I presume banking with extortionate rates. But that is just a guess

<:thronk:441701565607444482>

Yeah but they didn't just kill Jewish bankers

I am not justifying the antisemitism here. Just pondering on the very fact that it was present so universally in countries pre ww2

It would be my guess that they were the same kind of scapegoat that the soviets used

With the bourgeoisie

Well it is easy to scapegoat a group that is not held in a high regard/allowed to be hated

The "gypsies" are still getting hate even though there is no reason for it

Soviets just hated intellectuals, because that was a threat

And a lot of russian jews were very educated

Well, people are often critical of the wealthy, so it's quite easy for somebody in power to point at them and say "those rich guys are the cause of all your problems" when a lot of people are already thinking that.

Just look at the way people protest the 1% in the west

That's a bit hypocritical in many cases

I mean the students that attend US universities have to be hypocrites if they do it

Yeah, the 'we are the 99%' thing is hilarious

Though, they may just be stuck in a rebellion against the parents

Against their wealthy wealthy parents

When people who make over (and I'm probably not fully correct with these numbers) 15k a year are in the top 15% of the world IIRC

I believe it's 30k

Ah

Probably

Oh shiet I am above the 15K line

I am the evil of this world!

Oh my bad

I looked it up and the actual fact seems to be

If you make over 32k or so you're in the top 1% of the world

Because of how incredibly poor so many people are

Dangit I need to up my game

I am under the 32K

What do you do?

The floor was wiped with Cetronius. Never forget.

so the government pays me enough to be in the top 15%?

decent
