Not really sure why everyone's acting all shocked about the AfD gains in Germany.

You forgot about IBS, aka The Jewish Disease -

It's not that bad really. Most of us are from money and the girls can be proper slags once they've escaped the reins of their over-bearing parents.

Yes, I'm sure you don't think about it that much. It's just that it sometimes occurs to me when people are having a pop at your nose/supposed tight-fistedness/residence in Finchley that they wouldn't dream of mocking a black man for - say - the size of his lips or unfortunate tendency to impregnate women and do a runner. That's because a black man is a proper ethnic in a way a Jew simply isn't. Jews seem to get all the downsides of ethnic minority status with none of the upsides. Odd, really.

Well, they do at least get to surreptitiously rule the world, tbf.

I thought that was Tears for Fears?

If they're so surreptitious about it, how come you've noticed?

Well I hadn't noticed, tbh.

Yes, given the discrimination we face, it's amazing you don't see waves of Jew-on-Jew crime

Drive-by shootings in Stamford Hill.

I asked a couple of Jewish friends recently if they know any Jews who have got divorced. I don't know what the stats are, but I can only assume it is way under the national average.

When you're Jewish, being an absent father means you're stuck at the office working on a complex litigation case.

Is there a particular stigma to divorce? Because the removal of that is what's really sent divorce rates rocketing in the west.

Yes, but almost entirely culturally driven. Jews don't tend to move far from their parents and remain emotionally wedded to them by virtue of seeing them so often. As a result the parents are consulted (or offer an opinion uninvited) on everything, from house purchases to the schools you send your kids to. You don't wanna be the Jew that has to tell your parents you're getting divorced.

There's other factors at play, obviously, but this is certainly an important one.
