To be fair, historically, the US was very antisemitic. Prior to World War Two, there used to be caps on how many Jewish students could study at particular universities in the US.
Although on the Jewish vs white people thing, I find that white racists are inconsistent in their logic. Because if for example, white people are wealthier than black people or white countries are wealthier than black countries or if white people control black countries using money then white supremacists go, "Oh well it’s because white people are just better." But if Jews do the same thing, it’s because Jews are evil.

After World War Two though, everything changed since the British established the modern nation state and the British are allied with America and we fought against the Nazis, antisemitism because very taboo in the US. In politics, it still is.

It could also be because everybody has to have an amount of power, and somebody is going to end up lucky. I don’t think the success of any country or ethnic group can be attributed to any individual person or cultural characteristic. It’s all overdetermined.
For example, Europe colonized Africa. They had better weapons, they had gunpowder, Africans didn’t. Europe didn’t invent gunpowder. Would history have been different if Africans had gunpowder and Europeans didn’t? It’s hard to say.

Or even the discovery of gunpowder by the Chinese, it wasn’t because the Chinese had some particularly advanced understanding of chemistry that Europeans and Africans didn’t, they did it by accident by mixing some stuff together.

I mean, it’s entirely possible, if one individual person in China randomly mixed things together in a different way, in different ratios, or just didn’t decide to do it that one particular day, gunpowder wouldn’t have been invented and all the consequences of the invention of gunpowder wouldn’t have happened, and then the power dynamic of the entire world and all of history following that would have turned out completely different. People want to think it means something that some countries are rich and some are poor, but probably it’s meaningless.

See this makes me scratch my brain man. Like I could’ve sworn the US was/is antisemitic and yet they have no qualms about being Israel’s simp. I also find it strange because most jews tend to be white but white Americans hate jews even though they share similar phenotypes they’ll swear up and down that they’re not the same but they look the same. Theyre the same race of white people. Idk they confuse me sometimes.
