The Protocols of the Elders of Zion consists with a bunch of the same antisemetic points that are still made today. It’s honestly incredibly worrying that its been 100 years and somehow people are still jsut regurgitating the same insane points. This bizarre idea that Jewish people are going to take over the world by manipulating the media and economy is as if taken out of a cartoon plot. Then it goes on about how the only people able to keep this secret society of evil Jewish people at bay are the upperclass Christians, as if they’re the heroes of this bizzare fantastical delusion.
The saddest thing about reading this text is you can’t even really brush it off as complete nonsense, because while it honestly is all obviously fake and stupid, people really believe this stuff. People have been quoting and referencing this text as if it’s a credible source for the past 100 years. Even some people know these meetings the text claims to have occured are fake yet still give this idea of world domination credit.
Even some of the fears this text speaks on are understandable and connectable to modern day issues: Corrupt governments and the control of the upper one percent are highly understandable concerns for a modern day person. Obviously these issues aren’t caused by the evil secret Jewish organization that controls all the banks and press, but the actual issue being touched on isn’t outlandish like the “cause” the text suggests.
Overall the text is an obvious attempt at fear mongering, manipulating readers into believing the cause of all their and their contries problems is this puppeteering organization of Jews and I find it hard to take seriously, but regretfully, I know I have to, because some people really fall for this type of stuff.
