Goebbels created the “Institute for the Study of the Jewish Problem” in 1936. They published scholarly peer-reviewed articles on Jewish issues.
The biggest mystery of the day was how the Jews were able to stand by dispassionately, becoming wealthy no less, during the Great Depression – watching millions of Germans die of starvation; their friends, neighbors, and co-workers.
How can a whole community have zero empathy? This is the question that has haunted the world since the end of World War II, per the Nazis and the death camps. The exact same phenomena happened a decade earlier, per the Jews and the 1923-24 and 1930s depressions.
In the modern day, the exact same thing is happening again.
The hyper-rich get richer – by 60% during the “Great Recession” while everybody else saw their net worth plummet by 60% or more.
Bill Gates owns so much Microsoft stock that $50 of every Microsoft product you purchase goes directly into his bank account. Ditto for 10,000 other billionaires around the world and virtually every other major item you purchase.
Who’s studying the extreme egotism of billionaires? Who’s distressed by the total disconnect between society at large and the top 1% of wage earners?
The hyper-rich are very much like the Jews back then. They live totally separate lives from the rest of us. They have their own communities, churches, social clubs, vacation spots, private jets – you name it. They already have everything they could possibly desire yet they continue to be driven to accumulate more, more, more.
Which means they exert an enormous power in the marketplace to charge more for less and to pay less to the workers for more output. They belittle a 10 cent raise to workers making $2 a day, working in the slums of Bangladesh, breathing the most polluted air on the planet, drinking the most polluted water – all so they can rake another $1 million from the factory a month.
These people are not human, not by any measure of significance.
They ship 50,000 U.S. factories to China where there are no pollution controls and a higher profit margin. They turn a naked eye to the continent-sized islands of floating plastic waste clogging the 7 oceans of the world – pollution from their factories; to the horrific air pollution belched out by those 50,000
Chinese factories using electricity from coal-fired plants with absolutely no pollution restrictions.
The hyper-rich are literally destroying the planet – for what? So they can add an extra $10 million a year on top of their $2.5 billion net worth?
If that’s not insanity, I don’t know what it is. At the very least it’s malice of the worst kind.
