The real reason why Jews are liberal

I previously wrote about Jews and liberalism. While I have a brief surge in traffic from being outed, I may as well use the opportunity to explain the real reason why Jews are so liberal.

One’s predisposition to side with the political left or right is a genetically inherited trait (as are most aspects of human behavior). One of the key links with being on the left is guilt. Conservative commentators have been talking about “liberal guilt” for a long time. Liberals feel guilt, conservatives don’t.

Jews also feel intense guilt. Do a Google search for Jewish guilt and you will see how many pages come up. It is no coincidence that Jews and liberals are both associated with feeling guilt, it comes from the same genes.

During the 2000 years of the Diaspora, it sucked to be Jewish. Not only were you discriminated against by the Christians, you also had to follow strict Jewish laws that took all the fun out of life. Yet it was pretty easy for Jews to simply give up the faith and blend in with goyish society. Remember, this was the old days before there were zillions of records about your existence. All a Jewish person had to do in the old days was just walk to the next town, tell everyone he was Catholic, and that was it.

So what kept Jews attached to the faith? It was guilt. Over the course of the Diaspora, the Jews that felt the least guilt were the most likely to walk away from the faith. This had the effect of culling the guilt-free genes out of the Jewish gene pool.

The guilt phenomenon is also seen in Christian sects. The older the Christian sect, the more guilt the members of the sect had because less guilt-prone people were the ones who switched to new sects. Thus we see that Catholics have more guilt than Protestants because the less guilty were the ones who left the Catholic religion of their parents to become Protestants.

The newest religion in the United States is Mormonism, and this explains why Mormons are the most solidly Republican of all religious sects. The older Protestants are less Republican than Mormons. The older Catholics are less Republican than Protestants. And the oldest religion of all, Judaism, has the least Republican congregation.

The same phenomenon explains why Europeans are more liberal than Americans. It was the Europeans with less guilt who left behind their parents in Europe to move to America.

Too much guilt is a bad thing. I hope those reading this who feel prone to guilt, and this probably applies to you if your family is Jewish or Catholic, but especially if your family is Jewish, can learn from this post that your guilt is an unhealthy genetic predisposition that you can overcome with knowledge of what it really is.

I think this might make less sense than the previous post on this subject.

[mikeca]

This post really doesn’t make any sense.

Conservatives tend to believe the bible is the literal word of god. Liberals tend to believe that the bible represents a good moral foundation for life, but believe that men wrote the bible.

You might just as well say that conservatives have a gullibility gene that causes them to continue to believe in superstitions in spite of the evidence to the contrary.

[Henry]

miceca, you have that all wrong. You're trying to make a religious statement about political views. That is just wrong, wrong, wrong.

FUNDAMENTALIST CHRISTIANS are the ones who view the bible as the literal word of god. CATHOLICS, for example, believe that the Bible is INSPIRED by God, but written by Man.

It has nothing to do with conservative or liberal views.

[mikeca]

Ah, but Fundamentalist Christians are suppose to be very conservative politically, while Catholics are more liberal politically.

All I am saying is that the gullibility gene that allows Fundamentalist Christians to believe the bible is the literal word of god, also allows them to believe what Rush Limbaugh says.

That makes about as much sense as the guilt gene

[Cosmic X]

You may not have noticed, but Orthodox Jews tend to be quite conservative.

[Scott]

I can only hope that this is a "tongue-in-cheek" post because it is either that or a "lack of brain in head" entry.

I am not sure about the guilt gene theory; but I do think that a lot of Europe's meatheads came to America. That's why the Europeans are so "sophisticated," and why America wins the most medals in the Olympics. And all of France's meatheads went to Canada to play hockey. There don't seem to be very many individualists in Europe.

Catholic conservative here. Or conservative Catholic, whichever the case may be.

Catholics in the blue states tend to be more liberal but Catholics in the red states tend to be more conservative.

I always found liberals to be the gullible ones -- they actually think you can make friends by "buying the world a coke."

And, the face may have changed, but the posts remain the -- sadly -- the same.

[BUSH LIED!]

For one thing, the appropriation of Arab resources brings forth the slaughter of thousands of children by Air Force cluster bombs. It is quite remarkable that Donald Rumsfeld's worldview represents the crushing of internal dissent in order to propagate the flagrant lies promulgated by the political donor class. So far, the American state, with its unelected president, venal Supreme Court, silent Congress, gutted Bill of Rights and compliant media leads our attention to the resurgence of White Supremacist ideologies. This suggests that a minority of warmongers and apologists represents the repudiation of international law in order to bring about an oil war masquerading as an endless crusade against "terrorism."

After your previous posting about the subject, I wanted to write an answer. It would have been similar to your present answer, but less good than yours.

Guilt - that's the right word that explains these phenomena and differences.

[Ethical Werewolf]

While Libertarian Girl was more coherent and made sense, Wacky Dude is funnier and more incisive.

I couldn't get trackback to ping you on the post where you unmasked yourself, so if you're interested in reading the 49th blog post on that, it's here.

Some liberals may feel "guilt" in the normal sense of the word, but many feel something which is more complex. They feel a second-hand "guilt" on behalf of *others* in their society ("look at what those evil repugnicans are doing) while themselves feeling morally superior: ie., the opposite of guilty. See C S Lewis "Dangers of National Repentence" summarized in my post here:

Wow, that is REALLY insightful. Cool. Glad I became part of the hoax traffic spike for the moment!

It's just sad that most readers/commenters find this sort of reasoning so foreign.

[Anthony]

I'm sorry but I have to say that your text on Jews and Guilt was full of you know what.

[rosignol]

Speaking as an escaped Mormon, this post was absolutely hilarious. Keep it up.

[Roxanne]

PIN. HEAD.

[Amy]

Your argument is flawed, overly simplistic, and grossly over generalizing things. It borders on being anti-semetic and basically summing up people based on their religious beliefs. The world is very complex and we'd all like to understand it. But don't pretend to know everything when your theory is making huge generalizations & very prejudice. You should be ashamed of yourself & you should fucking educate yourself. I pretty disgusted by your email. How dare you judge the world. Grow up.

[Amy]

PS. Why r u writing anti-religious propoganda on Valentine's Day? Someone must be lonely. Get a grip dude. People are all good deep inside. Just be happy and lighten up.

i really do want to know why most jews are libs. at least 8/10 seem to be die-hard aclu fanatics. but genetically inherited? that's ridiculous.some things are genetically inherited--potential, for instance (and yes, both physical and mental).

many jews are raised by stay-at-home mothers, who pour a lot of emotional, loving support into their children. jews believe that no one ought to suffer. jews were severly discriminated against in the past--thus their bond iwth the minorities (and by minorities i mean non-white .)

now i do not like the jews as a people, but i do admire their zealousness and ambition. and i hate taht they are trying to make the us so secular. i wish they would stop cramming all of this porn down our throats--i say, practice what you preach. they scream for equality, but of course, the day a jewish lady brings home a black man, look out. see how liberal they really are.

ever notice that almost any radical, degenerate or fringe cause has a predominate number of Jews?

Jews are the ultimate outsiders.

Chrles you're wrong about Jewesses and nigger bucks.
Jew chicks are super freaky for nigger cock.
Back in the day whenever you seen a "white" woman with a black guy it was almost a sure thing she was either a jew or a light skinned spick.

[Animal Farmer]

Actually, it's all about power.

Conservatives identify with those in power seeking to preserve that power.

Liberals identify with those disempowered seeking to attain power.

Jews were disempowered prior to the Holocaust - after which we were given the State of Israel and global sympathy. So, now that we've achieved seats of power in Western gov, the media and higher education, we are now SWITCHING to Zionist conservatism - hence the creation of "neo-Cons." Former Jewish liberals uniting with elite conservatives...

I'm sure Marx, Trotsky, Bolsheviks and other Commies are all rolling in their graves now - but hey, oy vey!

[KissMyIrishAss]

And clicking on your name there shows me you are just another twisted nazi fucker.

[Textbook Fascism]

"Some scholars hold that fascism as a social movement employs elements from the political left, but it eventually allies with the political right, especially after attaining state power."

Hmm, Jewish ex-liberals allying with right-wing elites to form neo-Cons after attaining state power?

So, I guess Jew neo-Cons are really the true neo-Nazis...

Heil Zion!
