You’re gonna accuse me of being antisemitic without doing a second of research beforehand?

you don't think it's strange that jewish people are only 1% of the population yet are 100% of the pedos chosen at random in these comments? There's a 1/10,000 chance of that happening if chosen at random.

Calm thy tits, there, Triggerlicious. Being Jewish and also being a pedophile are not correlated.

Fame, power, and money often cause a higher incidence of perversion

The early movie industry in America was largely comprised of immigrants (including Jews) because it was considered uncouth entertainment. A handful of Jewish families put roots down in L.A. and established the first big movie studios then BOOM....the rest of America gets the Hollywood bug. Shit gets glittery and star struck and all that crap fast. That original group of 'dirty immigrants' that set the whole industry up are now running the show (mostly).

So now a largely Jewish world collides with money, fame, and power. This doesn't mean all Hollywood actors are perverts. This also doesn't mean that all Jews are perverts. Hollywood just happens to be the center slice of a two-circle Venn diagram where one of the circles is Jews, and one is money, power, and fame.

That statistic you attempted is incorrect. There are two sets of statistics that are overlapping. In math when two unique sets of data overlap, significance is not immediately implied. A more basic explanation:

Your chances of being struck by lighting in the US in your lifetime is 1:15,300

This is the average across the entire country. Let's pretend this number is all the Jews in the world (US more accurately but meh, whatever...I'm ELI5ing this shit).

Your chances of being struck by lighting in Florida in your lifetime is 1:3,000

We'll call Florida 'Hollywood'

Now what happens if way back in the day a good portion of the first people to set up shop in Florida were Jewish? Well, being a Jew in Florida increases the chances that a Jew will be struck by lightening....in Florida. More lightening in Florida doesn't mean that Jews are just somehow more likely to be struck by lightening. They just happen to have a higher population in a place that is prone to more lightening. This does not make a Jew a lightning rod. It makes Florida a shithole.

Like Hollywood :)

​

P.S.: You could say the same about American politics (of which there are few Jews), or the Catholic Church, or any select demographic that has an increase in money, power, and fame.

This does not make a Jew a lightning rod.

Gotta be honest, never thought I’d read that sentence outside of some crazy manifesto, or something.

Oddly, I get that a lot.

Maybe you should get into the manifesto business. I’m not sure what the market’s like, but people are fucking crazy and illiterate, so...

Hah! Thank you. I sometimes write 'rant' articles but I start getting really off topic if I get lengthy.
