I can kind of see in medieval Europe, for example, that Jewish traditions and customs were alien to the feudal culture and its inherent fear of the poorly understood. This difference was useful for the ruling classes in making Jews a common enemy to control the ignorant populous. Since then we experienced the Enlightenment, and in theory we came to realize thunder and lightening were not the actions of angry gods. Nevertheless, there is always a significant number of humans who are weak and cowardly and need to have an easy explanation for their misapprehensions and failures, and \"It's the Jews\" can be pretty handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/river-to-the-sea.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" data-id=\"2757\" src=\"https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/river-to-the-sea.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2757\" srcset=\"https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/river-to-the-sea.webp 720w, https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/river-to-the-sea-300x169.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">anti-Israel US campus protest <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/clean-the-world-of-jews.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\" height=\"266\" data-id=\"2758\" src=\"https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/clean-the-world-of-jews.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2758\" srcset=\"https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/clean-the-world-of-jews.jpg 474w, https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/clean-the-world-of-jews-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><br><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">The left, actively or passively, wants to cleanse the world of Jews<\/mark><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hatred of Jews has been a feature of what is called the extreme right: there really was a guy named Hitler, but the right wing white supremacist mentality hasn't aged well and the aphorism- the demand for white supremacists far outweighs the supply- is correct. For the most part today's right wing extremists, where they exist, are loser internet dwellers. I queried AI about the number of&nbsp;\u201cactive participant\/adherent\u201d people in actual white supremacist groups- the KKK, American Nazis, and others- with the rough estimate being under 10,000. but the specter of them has served the left well over the decades for both fundraising and vote getting. We might recall the Biden administration repeatedly informed us that white supremacy \u201cis the most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland.\u201d For many of the weak and cowardly..and gullible...that was sufficient motivation to demonstrate their moral goodness by proxy: slogan chanting, donations to progressive groups, and voting Democrat. The odious, and currently under indictment, Southern Poverty Law Center, raised over $200 million in 2024, largely based on its claim to counter \"white supremacists.\" There is an irony here, because it's likely they used $3 million to fund groups like the KKK. Their \"endowment\" is around $800 million (with millions held in foreign banks), so $3 million isn't much: an investment to keep white supremacy alive, therefore maintaining the inflow of cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kristallnacht-the-night-of-broken-glass-1938.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"740\" data-id=\"2760\" src=\"https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kristallnacht-the-night-of-broken-glass-1938-1024x740.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kristallnacht-the-night-of-broken-glass-1938-1024x740.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kristallnacht-the-night-of-broken-glass-1938-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kristallnacht-the-night-of-broken-glass-1938-768x555.jpg 768w, https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kristallnacht-the-night-of-broken-glass-1938-960x694.jpg 960w, https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/kristallnacht-the-night-of-broken-glass-1938.jpg 1300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Night of broken glass Nazi Germany 1938<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Montrealsynagoguearson2026.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"2761\" src=\"https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Montrealsynagoguearson2026-1024x640.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2761\" srcset=\"https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Montrealsynagoguearson2026-1024x640.webp 1024w, https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Montrealsynagoguearson2026-300x188.webp 300w, https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Montrealsynagoguearson2026-768x480.webp 768w, https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Montrealsynagoguearson2026-960x600.webp 960w, https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Montrealsynagoguearson2026.webp 1300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">Broken glass, Jewish synagogue, Montreal 2026 <\/mark><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The narrative was comforting: It's the Jews! was said to be the exclusive purview of right wing extremists. But the the dynamic changed as globalist elites, especially in the EU and the UK, got in to kind of a competition to prove how diverse and inclusive they were. The means for this was to open their borders and wave in whoever showed up; geographically this included lots of people from Northern Africa and the Middle East, numbering in the millions in the past 15-20 years. Predictably this included huge numbers of Muslims, and of them huge numbers were young adult males. The reality is, while many Muslims are happy to live their faiths and respect the beliefs of others, Islamic scripture, law, and doctrine is not Jew friendly. Historically and to the present grudging tolerance of Jews was often the best to be hoped for (today Jews account for about 0% of the population of the 10 largest Muslim countries).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/nazi-rally-1935.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"713\" data-id=\"2763\" src=\"https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/nazi-rally-1935-1024x713.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2763\" srcset=\"https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/nazi-rally-1935-1024x713.png 1024w, https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/nazi-rally-1935-300x209.png 300w, https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/nazi-rally-1935-768x535.png 768w, https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/nazi-rally-1935-1536x1069.png 1536w, https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/nazi-rally-1935-2048x1426.png 2048w, https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/nazi-rally-1935-960x668.png 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Nazi rally 1935<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/anti-israel-rally-London-2021-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"685\" data-id=\"2764\" src=\"https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/anti-israel-rally-London-2021-1024x685.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2764\" srcset=\"https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/anti-israel-rally-London-2021-1024x685.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/anti-israel-rally-London-2021-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/anti-israel-rally-London-2021-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/anti-israel-rally-London-2021-1536x1028.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/anti-israel-rally-London-2021-2048x1371.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/anti-israel-rally-London-2021-960x642.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Anti-Israel raqlly in London May 2021. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps the EU and UK elite held a fantasy that their millions of Muslim \"asylum seekers\" would enthusiastically embrace the values of their adopted countries, but this hasn't come to realization, to say the least. For example, \"Free Palestine\" and anti-Israel protests have attracted hundreds of thousands of Muslims. Jews have been admonished to hide their identities, sometimes being blamed for inciting others to attack them. While assaults on Jews by Muslims are given lip-service as a bad thing by authorities, in general they have doubled-down on their policies. Opposition to unfettered immigration is said to come from the usual bogeymen- right wing extremists- and is met with mockery, derision, and curtailment of speech. In the UK, 1,000s have been arrested for saying things that displeased the government, what in the US would be protected by the 1st Amendment. In the UK simply flying the traditional national flags have been deemed \"tools of hate\" by the government in its \"social cohesion strategy.\" Wherever privileged progressives are in charge there is an abundance of weakness and cowardice. It really doesn't matter if many or even most Muslims are live and let live types, those who obtain power are overwhelmingly hate-filled bigots, and have cowed the Western establishment elites into subservience. They are willing to subvert centuries of tradition and the hard-earned ideals of justice, equality, and even decency to appease the interlopers (euphemistically, \"asylum seekers\") at the expense of their citizen constituencies. Of many untoward consequences, one is that immigrants who <em>do<\/em> want to assimilate are viewed with suspicion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/london-palestine-flag.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"590\" height=\"350\" data-id=\"2766\" src=\"https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/london-palestine-flag.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/london-palestine-flag.jpg 590w, https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/london-palestine-flag-300x178.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-color\">Palestinian flag on London streets allowed by the local government 2024<\/mark><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/0_Girl-12-banned-from-wearing-Union-flag-dress-on-schools-culture-day.avif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"2767\" src=\"https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/0_Girl-12-banned-from-wearing-Union-flag-dress-on-schools-culture-day-1024x683.avif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2767\" srcset=\"https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/0_Girl-12-banned-from-wearing-Union-flag-dress-on-schools-culture-day-1024x683.avif 1024w, https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/0_Girl-12-banned-from-wearing-Union-flag-dress-on-schools-culture-day-300x200.avif 300w, https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/0_Girl-12-banned-from-wearing-Union-flag-dress-on-schools-culture-day-768x512.avif 768w, https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/0_Girl-12-banned-from-wearing-Union-flag-dress-on-schools-culture-day-960x640.avif 960w, https:\/\/conservativeproletariat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/0_Girl-12-banned-from-wearing-Union-flag-dress-on-schools-culture-day.avif 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">12 year-old girl put in isolation at school in the city of Rugby in the UK for wearing British flag themed clothing on Culture Day 2025<\/mark><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We tend to look a \"right\" and \"left\" as a line, with the greater the extreme the greater the separation, but this is glaringly inaccurate.

We've witnessed lots of mobs in recent years, on the streets of London, Paris, and college campuses in the US, for example. But you\u2019ve got to feel sorry for the extreme right in a way: the left can quickly mobilize protesters in the 1,000s, and even hundreds of thousands, whereas the infamous Unite the Right rally in 2017 (\u201cthe largest public gathering of white supremacists in a generation\u201d), mustered a paltry 500, and the counter protesters had four times more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An older relative I grew up with had a troubled adolescence, which included a flirtation with national socialism.
