Um. Can I make an honest, arrogant and impolitic statement?
They’re our jews. You can’t kill them. You can’t have them. They’re ours. Yes they have been a more of a disaster than a benefit for all of mankind for the 19th and 20th centuries. Just as they were more of a disaster than benefit for all of mankind before the 19th and 20th centuries.
But they are a disaster only because we did not know how to limit their parasitic instinctual and cultural behavior when living off the opportunities of a high trust society. However, we do now. So since we know how, we can force them into good and productive behavior, like we have forced everyone else into good and productive behavior.
Now, they won’t like it. Just as we won’t like having to pay the cost of truthful speech in matters of the commons. Incremental suppression of parasitism is a technology in philosophy and law that must keep pace with innovations in parasitism. But when you deny people survival via parasitism and turn their talents to productive work, they produce goods as expertly as they previously produced bads.
So my “OMG DID YOU JUST SAY THAT?” position is that they’re an asset if they cannot engage in parasitism. Not that they’re going to like the impact not only the prohibition on parasitism will have on them in our countries, but around the world.
But that’s OK. That’s what they need to learn in order to have their own reformation and to complete their own enlightenment. Just as truth telling is how we complete our enlightenment.
So they’re ours. They’re useful. We paid a high price for keeping them. And their ours. Sorry. Hand’s off our assets. OK? 😉
(yeah. I definitely tried to say that with sarcastic inflammatory humor. But sarcastic humor aside, that’s actually my position.)
