Thoughts on this controversial take? Not endorsing it, but find the “social science” part relevant since WIAH just made a video on hard science and social science

2 things 1 I dont know why everyone treats "jews as one group" its only rich askenazi american jews that do this. Ive never met one hasidic jew to pull that let alone sephardic and well theres not many mizrahi jews in america so of course no mizrahi would pull that.

2 those same jews tend to be considered white in the same theory the subscribe to with social justice so they are critizising themselves at the same time.

But think about it. We have entire academic departments dedicated toward critiquing European peoples (social sciences) so why not apply the same logic to Jews?

There actually are some academic department toward studying jews its called "judaic studies" https://www.artsci.uc.edu/departments/judaic.html
Its not at every university because well jews are a small minority so a small amount of schools have it and half the time there grouped up with "european peoples" because evil aprthied israel colonizing good upright moral palestinians. Or Israel still uses q reformed version of evil ottoman tanzimat legal codes.

Small group of affluent suburban Askenazi jews and a even smaller group of mega rich askenazi jews are getting called out for trying to abuse social justice and being omega insecure about there religion and its getting extrapolated to all jews.

As a Paleoconservative who wants to repeal the 1964 immigration act, would I be considered alt right lol. To be honest Trump won on a Paleoconservative platform.

How did New Hampshire survive deindustrialization? It seems the opposite of Rudyard’s home region the foundry

Also, the combination of easier highway access to Boston and markedly lower tax rates allowed it to attract suburban workers commuting to Boston after the New Hampshire industry was crushed in the 1980s.

RIP southern Italy, also, I notice you could see the border between “Western” civilization and “Orthodox” civilization, with Croatia being the middle.

Balkans pwned

Social trust in Europe. Netherlands and Finland examples of High trust societies. The Mediterranean and Balkans being low trust societies. Reminds me of when Whatifalthist talked about Sicily being an atomized society

It’s Ironic that the Nordic countries are at the top levels of property rights, taking into consideration ppl make them out to be super socialist.

I have noticed that Germanic countries tend to be more open to “capitalistic” things (free market, economic freedom, property rights) I’m not sure if there’s a connection, but interesting. I recall WIAH saying that Germanic culture was more individualistic
