Scott totally unrelated to this friend... Is self loathing something Jews feel is necessary? I never understood why so many are liberals when liberalism tends to be against their interests. I'm sure there are dozens of books on this but I'm lazy.
The Jew in a Tricky Spot. Many Go Liberal cuz of Fear of the alternative: being perceived as AGAINST certain Liberal Ideologies.
IMO Non-Jews have infinitely more "Leeway", more Freedom to Express Themselves whereas The Jew?
Many in the World just waiting for The Jew to say a thing and/or take a stance that = Counter those certain Liberal Beliefs
so that they can POUNCE upon That Jew. so....maybe to some Jews cloaking themselves in Liberalism is, in their opinion...
a place of Less Risk?
I don't know, its Complex. And I am not certain any of that I typed up there will even Make Sense to anybody.
Great Question tho :toast: Really Good Question that I'd be interested in Scott's opinion on cuz he certainly has Walked a Path of Fire thru Hebraic Culture (early-life Schooling, Confliction) thats left him with possibly Unique Insight on this question.
