The theocrats are also blood and soil nationalists because Judaism is a blood and soil nationalist religion. The religious Jews are just also attached to metaphysical superstitions and various aesthetic religious traditions. These aren't the major inflection points of conflict, though. It's that the courts, in accordance with liberal minoritarianism, are more protective of Israel's gentiles minorities and sometimes oppose things like settlement expansion.
The J-left doesn't usually conflict over religious aesthetics. The ADL, for example, helped rebuff Iceland's attempts to ban circumcision. The left-right divide among Jews primarily flares up over the right's higher tendency towards illiberalism. In many cases, the conflict revolves around optics anyhow.
Jews began heavily promoting liberalism post-WWII. They were instrumental in the Civil Rights movement, sexual revolution, New Left, etc. They did that because liberalism is a great vehicle for promoting minority - which obviously includes Jewish - interests. It was especially useful for preventing anudah shoa. Jews study the rise of fascism a ton after it happened and were obsessed with preventing it from happening again. They recognized that liberalizing whites by weaponizing American's foundational logic would be useful in that. A liberalized white population is a political impotent one.
I think you are trying to claim liberalism has been defeated because you yourself are a lib and can't admit that liberalism has made things horrible in the West. You therefore externalize blame. In reality, liberalism has peaked in recent years. As we've discussed in the past, nearly 100% of Americans held deeply racist, illiberal beliefs prior to the 1960s. The 60s made things worse because they made things more liberal, and Jews were a huge part of that.
Judaism is not any more blood and soil than most faiths, it's just that the religious Orthodox are just more consistent and controlling interfaith marriages and conversions. Christians are, frankly, a bit of the exception to the rule at conversion and missionary work.
Jewish philosophers and intellectuals have long supported Liberal philosophy prior to WW2. This includes in Europe and America. This is because Liberalism was particularly popular in Western Europe, and American jews actually found American Liberalism had no objection to the jewish faith, even in the beginning of the country.
This bizarre idea you have about jews liberalizing whites doesn't make sense when Liberalism emerged from England in the 1600's. German jewish intellectual revulsion to National Socialism is merely the Internationalist Socialist false dichotomy smear against National Socialists. A desperate attempt to try and wedge a distinction and distance between two socialist ideologies so that the Democratic Socialists of Germany couldn't be blamed for a) fostering the rise of National Socialism as blowback to their incompetence, and b) being prepared to do all of the same things once they felt the time was right.
Liberalism suffered major defeats in every part of the rest as a result of human commodification and the ending phase of the industrial revolution. Hence why the Progressive era exists. The Liberal period had ended in America with Lincoln, and the Liberal period of Europe begin to collapse with the subversion of the Liberal party in England, and the rise of Prussian collectivism in Germany. By WW1, the world was divided between Socialists and the Hapsburgs; and by WW2 it was dived between Fabian Socialists, State Socialists, and Internationalist Socialists. Liberalism, if anything, has begun to re-emerge in the form of smaller governments, decentralized political systems, decentralized economic systems, and the improvements of technology in both currency and communication.
Most Americans living between 1900-1990 held illeberal views, because most Americans (while not liking communism) were under socialist governments in all but name, even while under the Republican party's rule. FDR was a Democratic Socialist, so was LBJ. They were very popular. Even Nixon was, at best, a progressive republican. Our economy has been Keynsian Socialist since FDR, and after the Fed's invention (and the creation of the state department) was Fabian Socialist. The closest thing the boomers ever experienced to Liberalism was Barry Goldwater.
Judaism is based around Jews being God's chosen people by way of an ancestral - as in what they believe to be a bloodline - inheritance of God's covenant with Abraham. That's why they have DNA testing in Israel.
I never said there were no Jewish liberals prior to WWII or that Jews invented liberalism. I said they began pushing it harder post war. Jews were pushing communism hard prior to that. After the war, they began moving away from it towards liberalism.
Liberalism has never necessarily meant small governments. Liberal individualism actually requires a large government to safeguard minority rights from the majority.
Why are you talking about 1900-1990? Need I remind you of the 1790 Immigration Law again? Also, it's really strange that your Golden Age of American liberalism ends with the abolition of slavery. WTF?
For Israeli DNA testing, it's not enough for citizenship, and it's not enough for a conversion. I'm not sure why you guys say that. Jewish ethnic lineage is still varied, so it's not like there's an almighty jew-gene that they can follow.
I never said that you said that there were no jewish liberals prior to WW2, you just said that jews pushed liberalism post WW2 as a conspiracy to demoralize whites, which makes no sense, since they already adopted liberalism as jews. Jews were pushing socialism, liberalism, progressivism, and communism all throughout the early 20th and late 19th century specifically because they were among many of the intellectual class that were doing so. There was nothing special about that.
Liberalism requires a small government to prevent intervention. Even if you have king, you have to weaken the bureaucracy of the king, the bureaucracy of parliament, and foster the independence of the judiciary.
You can bring up the 1790 Immigration Law all you want, and I can bring up that Hamilton and Lincoln weren't liberals, unless you consider Rousseau to be one. Slavery may be irreconcilable with Liberalism, but that's why Lincoln used it as a cover to excuse centralization.
