It's in many ways a very tightknit group. That's going to lead to some nepotism whether intentional or not, but doesn't mean that that they're conspiring as a whole.

Well, I have been able to verify some claims that were interesting to me, but not that unexpected, such as there having been a lot of anti-German propaganda that turned out to be bogus, such as the lamp shades made of human skin (which later turned out to be goat or pig skin).

Also, the British weren't exactly lawful in their treatment of their POWs, either. There was a lot of fucked up stuff, on many sides, and we are too one sided in assigning blame.

just cause you're paranoid, doesn't mean that they aren't out to get you

But the constant yelling of "Jews! Jews did it!" isn't helping.

Also as a result of being such a tightknit group they've tended to self-segregate throughout history which has of course led to more discrimination against them, which gives them more fear of integrating with others, and it's something of a self-feeding cycle.

Yes, that might be one of the most sensible interpretations.

Not to say that the discrimination is justified, but it hasn't *just* come from nowhere

So, let's say that really was the case, which it might be. Then what should we do about it?

Let's stop all the talk and pass some laws against nepotism and cronyism in companies. You have to have some hiring process in publicly traded companies, for example, where you don't just hire your cousins all the time.

government should stay out of business as much as possible

yeah they were expelled "only" at least 359 times...
at what point its their fault🤔

By the way, it's not the only ingroup preference I have seen. I have worked in a large company before and it was a very international crowd. We didn't have many Russians in our company, but the few we did have were all concentrated in one team, without any other apparent reason, such as that team recruiting in a certain location/event.

Then there's also the way that they were exempt from Christian usury laws of the past. They were the ones who were allowed to handle large amounts of money which meant they were the ones who controlled the banks a long long time ago. And that led to a very wealthy and powerful minority. And money of that magnitude tends to stay in the family.

Or, I have had a team in which people just suddenly start talking Hindi at lunch, which is incredibly disrespectful, I think.

English isn't my first language, by the way, and I would never just switch into my native language if there were people at the table who were unable to speak it. That is just incredibly rude.

It's not always going to be as simple as "You are the same race as me therefor I give you preferential treatment", but often more like "Oh hey you're in this very small group I am too! How cool is that that you've had some similar experiences as a result of it" which is going to lead to an easier time becoming friendly, which will make you view them in a better light and more likely to hire them.

I think, at this point, we can confidently say that there is a staggering amount of nepotism in media and many tech companies, which is also why I am strongly, strongly in favor of more meritocratic hiring.

Like if you were traveling through China and met another American at a bar you'd probably hit it off talking about what you miss about home.

Yes, it can just be the university they graduated from.

I have seen that in interviews. Two dudes were basically just bantering with each other, not because of their gender, but ebcause they were from the same univeristy, and he would get hired, even though he completely fucked up the coding question.

I loathe that with a passion.

I fucking hate nepotism.

Yeah, it sucks.

there are ways to sanitize the hiring process

But, companies should reap what they sow. If they want to hire the dude that went to their university, instead of the more qualified Asian guy, then let me hire him.

I hope your fucking company dies.

like having a hiring commitee

That is also why I am for free markets and against regulation. Do I hate nepotism? Yes, with a passion! Do I want the state to step in? No ... I want those companies to go under.

Feminists should be 100% behind gun ownership:

There is virtually no other leveling mechanism that can equalize a differential of strength/power as much as a gun. An old granny has no chance against a robber, unless with a gun. There is no better way to protect yourself in this world that is supposedly swarming with rapists, by their accounts. What a gigantic hypocrisy.

Feminists should be some of strongest supporters of gun rights.

lol

ALDI UK. That's interesting.

Yeah, I agree with that. They're called the great equalizer for a reason. All these women talking about how scared they are to walk down the street? Imagine how scared someone would be to mess with you if every woman in the world carried a handgun.

All that this shows me is that what's really important is to retain VICTIMHOOD STATUS. Because victimhood is far more powerful than being empowered and left to your own devices. If you do not have victimhood, you are on your own - and feminists don't want that.

Plug up a few of the holes in that trashcan and that's a good charcoal maker.

That is also why they oppose gun ownership, self defense, basic awareness of surroundings, or means to defend yourself. It's not about being safe - it's about using your guise of weakness as a political cudgel.

If women were not engulfed in victimhood, they could never pull shit like Kavanaugh. If they were treated like men, they would be laughed at.

Reverse the gender in any of those stories and just see how absolutely ridiculous they become.

hilariously

With systematic gun and weapon ownership, self defense classes, etc. the strength differential between men and women would matter far less. Feminist and many women don't want that, because it robs them of victimhood.
