There’s a third reason Jews antagonize their neighbors.
If they remain at peace too long, without a hated outgroup, they could quite easily turn parasitic upon one another. The Ultra-Orthodox are already beginning to leech off the rest of the state, vote as a united bloc, insist on isolating in ghettos and are openly cultivating an ingroup vs outgroup mentality. Two more generations of this and their experiences will be completely diverged. And after the secular Ashkenazi get mutted with Mizahri and Yemanite jews, there will be actual genetic differences to go along with the cultural differences.
Once internal parasitism starts it quickly spirals out of hand, and ruins the ability to have a prosperous society. India is the end result, where the economy becomes a rent seeking operation for the different castes. The Jews need constant conflict, constant antagonism, and constant threats to maintain their group cohesion.
It’s hard to imagine jews leeching off jews because of their ingroup preference. But ingroup preferences to that extent can very quickly become maladaptive after selection pressures are relaxed. Nepotistic collectivism can blow up in your face, every second Indian family has a sleazy uncle that ripped relatives off on a business deal, and it’s common for the Mormon Church elders to exploit gullible underlings in a business deal. If after a while a certain group of jews sees themselves as more special and deserving than the rest, and the rest are open and completely trusting with other jews, then they could quite easily be manipulated and outright exploited by their own people.
” […] and it’s common for the Mormon Church elders to exploit gullible underlings in a business deal.”
Not quite sure what you mean by that since every male LDS member over 18 in good standing is ordained an “Elder.”
Once my Dad tried to help out his Engineer friend who had gotten laid off from work (probably fired for Cause actually). And so Dad bought his house for a down payment and then by taking over the bank payments because the interest rates were massive in those days, so that was pretty common at the time.
They had a handshake deal, which was dumb in retrospect. My Dad thought he did the guy a favor, but the new house became an albatross when the guy got a messy divorce.
Then the ex-wife who was awarded the house refused to honor the terms of the handshake deal between my Dad and her ex-husband. It became a major problem; both sides walked away, and the bank eventually foreclosed.
My Dad was a Stake Seventies President at the time, which is a fairly high but now obsolete LDS office, and the guy’s ex-wife felt cheated somehow so she asked for what is called a Bishop’s Court to use the LDS Church to non-judicially arbitrate with the parties involved.
My Dad calmly laid out his case to the “the Elders” (as you called them) in the Bishop’s Court, and they could find no fault on either side, just irreconcilable differences.
Sometimes you can’t fix what is broken ─ but the lesson learned here was pretty obvious ─ that even friends and co-religionists have to watch out for gentlemen’s agreements.
Get proper legal help and get the contract in writing.

Not to sound like a complainer, I am eternally grateful for CC. However, You should’ve left this livestream of todays talk with David up on Odysee so we can listen with quick turnaround time and share it around social media while the information is still relatively up to date (because its a fast moving situation).
Not possibly due to technical difficulties?
Not possible. Wait till Monday.
Are you able to get the replay of this up quickly on Odysee so we can listen and share it around?
IMO you should’ve just left it up on Odysee when the livestream ended (maybe you couldnt for tech reasons)
