Joe Rogan Discusses Anti-Semitism with a Jew
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
I'm from a culture that used to be maligned and then I thought wasn't anymore, and then very recently things have gotten weird again.
Yeah.
And it's really easy to say the Jews are responsible for a large problem uh part of the problem in the world today.
I've seen it a lot lately.
I'm like, this used to be like really inappropriate thinking and talking just twenty years ago.
It used to be very taboo and it is not anymore.
Anti-Semitism has never gone away.
It just has and I I could see if you're an anti-Semite, you're going the evil of the Jews is the closest I come to believing in magic because they just never stop being evil.
Like I just don't understand how this never goes away.
It never goes away.
It's so f weird.
Like no matter where Jews have lived, no matter how assimilated they've been.
So it follows the Jews.
And I mean, I know that I'm sure at least one of your listeners is like that no, the Jews follow it.
But it's like it's crazy.
It just won't go away.
It's uh it's a it's a virus that won't ever, ever die down.
There's a bunch of problems with uh this anti-Semitic thing going on.
Um is the accomplishments of the Jews are very disproportionate, especially European Jews.
If you look at European Jews and Nobel Prize winners, it's fucking staggering.
It's European Jews who are intellectuals, chess champions, a bunch of there is a a select gene pool, um, especially particularly European Jews and the United States.
Yeah, we also have bigger dicks.
Nobody talks about that.
Not Jewish either, apparently.
I don't think that's true.
You don't think it was Jews and then uh no?
Okay.
Okay.
Someone's probably huge hogs.
Jews have been so almost genetically smart for so long.
There's a reason for that, you know.
What is it?
Well, it's that basically in the whole of the Dark Ages, the Dark Ages are c characterized by people being illiterate.
That's what they were in the dark and only the clergy could read.
That the Jews um were a ninety-eight percent literate people.
I mean, and that is literally the reason.
If you want to talk it actually all comes all the way back to systemic oppression, right?
Uh in the same way that there are barriers uh, you know, if you're deaf or if you're black or if you're a woman, there are barriers you have to jump past.
If you are given an advantage, I mean it's all evolution, right?
Then you're gonna leap forward.
And so when you have a history of five hundred years where no one in Europe reads except for the Jews and the clergy, well, no shit.
They ended up, you know, being at the front lines of you know uh uh of Nobel Prize winning and science and intellectualism, not because they're smarter, obviously, but because they just were reading that whole time.
And there's a reason for the idea of Jewish greed, too.
Is that do you know about this?
Is that you know uh Jesus said something about usury, basically.
I Catholics were not okay with uh lending money at interest at an interest rate.
That was against the rules, right?
And uh so you're not gonna lend people money for no interest, that's just not how it works.
And then there were some people that weren't subject to the rules of Christian anti-usury laws, and those were the Jews.
And so the Jews would lend you money at an interest rate.
Well, who do you hate more than anybody on earth?
Who's the person you wish were dead?
Your creditor, you're the banker that is gonna foreclose on your home and is going to Now I'm not saying that's good or bad.
I also hate the banker, but that's just historically speaking, when they call Jews moneylenders, it's not because Jews are like, oh, I'm pernicious and I want to fill this gap.
It's that nobody else in society would lend people money.
And so not only were they the creditors that people hated, but they were also the financiers that made the possibility of European you know greatness uh occur because without capital, without funds, you can't build a society.
So uh that is one of the m the many reasons that people have come to hate the Jews is that they lent them the money that they needed, and then when it was time to come collecting, they'd be like, fuck this dude.
So fascinating when we could find the root of certain prejudices.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, for sure.
That's a good one.
Those those two are very good ones.
Especially the one about being literate.
