5/10
the problem of power and one reason more why the majority are always the losers
17 May 2009
For illustrating how a minority always wins out against a majority (provided that they are not persecuted), this film deserves a 10. For depicting the Jews as a special problem regarding this, this film does however deserve only a 0(zero). The resulting 5 is thus explained. If I belonged to a minority, whose members had some liking to one another, and I moved to a foreign country and was given a position of power, I would probably employ people in influential positions from my own minority rather than people I felt less for. This should not come as a surprise for anybody. As long as there is power, there are privileges and minorities or interests groups trying to get hold of as much power as possible for "security" reasons, if for nothing else. It is childish to think something else. The majority can act similarly as the minority and exclude those from power positions whenever there is a vacancy somewhere but this is called "racism" or "persecution" and is, with some right, deemed unfair, since the majority are always so many more than the minority. If, however, a minority becomes very successful in its masonry (because that is what it is), persecution follows as an act of defense against that majority, however usually instigated by a newly formed minority, using the majority in order to push away the old minority from power-positions, which they like to obtain for themselves. In a power-society, this kind of game goes on and on for as long as we allow power amongst human beings. If we honestly want to get rid of racism and the like, we just have to get rid of power, because then there will be nobody who lives from the sweat of others, except the miserable and the handicapped, whom we are all indebted to help as we are indebted to overcome the injustices of fate rather than enhancing them but not only for that reason, for who amongst us can refute the heroism of the handicapped and who amongst us deserves more praise than those amongst us, who carry the toughest loads?
