It doesn't actually matter why.
Jerk yourself raw over your "self-evident" nonsense. It's your idiocy and I want no further part in it.
Sorry, I must have missed that. I'll give it a read later, thanks for the link.I really don't know why DA JOOS keeps being brought up as a topic of discussion in this thread lately and with such hostility on both ends. But here, I'll just quote the closing paragraph of the article I linked to you yesterday (since I'm not sure if you read it or not), and hopefully it can help with understanding the supposed contradiction in levels of competence that you've been noting repeatedly. If not, then it might help to read the rest of it. Anyway, the paragraph in question:
Jews (and Catholics) saw themselves as part of “the other” and so it made sense for them, from a self interested perspective, to take on leftist and egalitarian ideas. By contrast, nativism and elitism was (relatively more) rational for the old elite given their group interests. Thus, 20th century America saw its institutions be captured by “the other”. Since then protestants have adapted, to some degree, to this new environment. Meanwhile, we’ve been living with the consequences of the still on-going process of transforming the country so as to conform with the self-interested ideologies of an ever expanding list of traditional minorities with Jews being the minority in this set probably most strongly represented (and certainly most over-represented) at the very top tier of power.
