What does a BIDEN Presidency look like?

Would you mind dialing the anti-semitism down a notch there Beeb?

I don't think you are get what he's saying...

I rather think I do. But perhaps I'm mistaken. Care to lay it out for me?

I'm suggesting that Tyr's comments about the secret elites who secretly "pull the strings of the global economy" has echoes out of anti-semitism.

I'm not saying Tyr is an anti Semite.  Just that post echoes those kind of thoughts.

In my experience the "global elite" are very happy to be front and centre in the news media.  Like in this story.

I think Beeb is misunderstanding what Jacob is misunderstanding about his post...

Like the Koch brothers? The Walton family who own Walmart? The Sacklers?

Like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffet, Sergey Brin, etc.

My point being that like among all people there's those members of the "global elite" who crave the limelight and those who avoid it.

  Yep.

[Grey Fox]

I have no idea what BB or Jacob is misunderstanding.

I only want to name drop the Rothchilds.

Don't misunderestimate him.

You are using false implications of anti-semitism to dismiss an argument that contains no anti-semitism. That is anti-semitic.

Suggesting that billionaires have significant political influence - including those who are not involved in celebrity culture - is not anti-semitic. Neither is the position that that influence is too great. Tyr made zero connections to any Jewish conspiracy theory, nor to any other conspiracy theory that uses stand-ins for Jews. You're the one who made any such connection.

Your retort only makes a sense if you suppose "billionaires" or "elites" is a stand-in for "Jews". You're the one who brought that to the discussion.

[DGuller]

  Oh.  It turns out it was I who was misunderstanding about Beeb's misunderstanding of Jacob's misunderstanding.  To be fair, Jacob missed a crucial word in his original post which made such a misunderstanding easier.

I think I understand.

And Jake is right.

I am very dubious about claims about "multi billionaires who pull the strings of the global economy" - which was Tyr's exact quote.

Such complaints have been made about the Jews, but not only about the Jews.

Multi billionaires certainly have influence over our politics and economy - but it's all pretty well documented.

And besides - please don't read too much into a one-smiley response.  It was not intended as deep political commentary.
