THE EUROPEANS AND THE ASHKENAZIM: ECONOMIC ORDERS
–“…an example of the relationship across national boundaries — an important survival skill in diaspora — but also creates hostility from the locals who don’t have those kinds of connections.”–

That’s the optimistic take. The locals are dependent upon produced local capital while the ashkenazim were dependent on extracting and trading local capital with remote regions. Two forms of capital. Two forms of liquidity. You can take coin with you when you’re outcast but not then you’re a farmer who has land, or a craftsman who has structures.

The Ashkenazim preserved separatism and are also forced to be separate becuase of their group strategy that takes advantage of the host while not contributing to it, and quite often harming it, and universally preying upon it. This self induced separatism and prosecution means that they lose any advantage outside of theh community of insurers. And the parasitic nature of their occupations at the upper end of the spectrum (see baiting into hazards), similar to the gypsies at the low end of the criminal spectrum means they cannot afford to defect or refuse to insure other members of the group. It’s also possible because they concentrated liquid capital instead of converting it into productive capital that was almost impossible to liquidate even if easily used for production.

This may sound horrific unless you understand that europeans followed this strategy militariliy instead of commercially. The difference was between military and political territorial masters of large numbers of the three classes under the limited productivity of landed agrarian economy, instead of a small number of parasitic urbanites extracting from the working, middle classes, and serving the upper clases, which produces of course, a higher return, despite the hatred it encouraged. Why? Usury (300%interest, which is why they were prohibited property -so they couldn’t take it from vulnerable people by engineering defaults), gambling, selling alchool on credit to create indenture, prostitution, drugs, running bars and tavers to shelter the performancde of all three, black market trading, slaving, and endless conspiracies. If you look at the wealthiest europeans an the wealthiest ashkenazim you will still see this difference in parasitic baiting into hazad (financialism, insurance, gambling, entertainment) vs productive investment.

European history is heroic and in that sense biased and supernormal, but it is still empirical and historical and open to cdriticism that encourages us to reform. But jewish culture relies on mythicism and social cosntruction instead, and is open like their scriptural and legal literature, to continuous justification and revision. I mean, they were the outcasts in the levant, particually from the relocated Mycenaean neighbors (Philistines) who had metalworking while the Jews didn’t (hence David’s sling), which is why the egyptians hired them as clerks, and which is how they developed their tradition of writing – precisely because they would remain loyal to the Egyptians out of self interest because they were so despised locally.

Anyway, we all live under the hypnosis of the metaphpysics of our ancient group stratgies today. And because of it we do not know our own sins and so we do not reform until we are prohibted frdom them. No criminal gives up his source of criminal revenue without the threat of punishment if he doesn’t.

Though Europeans do a pretty good job of stopping themselves when we decide to (slavery, colonialsm, ending wars early) while almost no one else does.

Cheers
