re: Jewish Students Moving South?

Socialism is prominent among Eastern European Jews.

Revolution is popular when you have limited rights. Add in the ability to read and a high percentage of industrial workers.

Post Marx there are very few revolutions that are socialist/marxist in nature.

If you didn’t hammer out rights of
man and involved the people
in some for of democracy before Marx you usually end up with some form of socialist trying to get involved

There have been several articles in the national news the last 6 months about northern students going to school down South to get away from the antisemitism and woke madness of the northern schools. Just Google it.

Tulane is definitely a refuge. It is upwards of 40% Jewish undergrad; that statistic came out during the protests last spring. I knew it was a big demographic but didn't realize that big. It's particularly interesting because the native Jewish population of NOLA has been shrinking over the last few generations. The kids go away to college and then do not come back. You wonder if current Tulane students will stay in town after graduation and ebb the outward tide.

And the rabbi in question is female, which makes it more interesting.

Wasn't even aware Orthodox allowed female rabbis

I think there is a bit of a difference between there being jewish Bolsheviks and calling the October Revolution a Jewish Coup.

It is more accurate to say that ethnic minorities more generally were over-represented in the ranks of the both the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks, Jews included.

If you look at the ranks of the early party leaders, they are littered with Georgians, Ukrainians, Byelorussians, Poles, Armenians, and so forth (ethnic Jews included) - far more over-represented than a demographic picture would have told you. However, there were also plenty of ethnic Christian Russians up and down the ranks as well, including many of the most powerful (Lenin, Kalinin, Bukharin, Preobrazensky, Rykov, etc.) leaders in the early stages. There were a surprising number with close familial ties to the Orthodox Church as well, primarily middle class or petit nobles (similar to the French Revolution when the non-aristocratic element of the First Estate was one of the primary drivers of the Revolution in the early days, before the Comité de salut public and all the rest came to - history doesn't repeat, but it certainly rhymes).

That shite tends to happen when you brutally suppress people for generations upon generations. They get sick of it and revolt.

The USSR was comprehensively Russian after the Second World War, though - even the most ardent anti-Semite looks like an idiot denying that.

read an article not long ago about Jewlane and how it’s becoming a girls school. It’s now like 65% female and empowering guys don’t want to go there anymore because it’s turning into a liberal Jewish girls school.

Said they predict it to be 75-80% female by 2030

Let me guess, incentives to draw more men to Tulane will never happen

you think the leadership was 90% jewish?

They will move South but still vote Democrat. Jews let Dems spit right in their face, yet they continue to vote for them. I don't get it.

I don't know what made me think of this, but I took.. I think it was a sociology class as an elective one semester, it might have been my first semester in college. And I don't know what the exact topic but it had to do something with different groups of people who have a better chance of developing certain diseases and the instructor said something about some generic trait in Jewish people. And this real dumbass in my class raised his hand and he said something like "So if I became jewish all of a sudden I will have a much better chance at developing _______ (whatever it was she mentioned)? This doesn't make any sense, just because you are a certain religion you are more likely to get this".

She had to explain to the dumbass that it has to do with where original jews came from, etc and that you don't develop those traits simply by becoming a jew.

Not if they want a decent job after graduation.
