I understand your confusion, somewhat, but Kavalier is mocking the conspiracy theorists who think the Jews are the cause of all hatred and poverty in the world, not promoting them.
The Black Death brought about important and positive changes in society that left most of the decimated territory better
And it too came from the East and moved to the West
Came from fleas to rats to humans
So lot of similarities
I just noticed this thread was started 11 yrs ago.....Shouldn't the title be changed to "The Big Collapse Could Be Very NearER?"
Not really. Two things can be very near each other for a very long time, without crossing or diverging. Like railroad rails.
In the case of the nearness of collapse, it has gotten somewhat closer a few times, and slightly further a few times, but because of the massive debt in every facet of society, we are never really that far from collapse.
I have seen some analysis, recently, that indicates we may be near a stagflation event, if this new Covid-19 virus continues to hinder China's and other countries' manufacturing production. Not a collapse, but times could get a lot tougher than they have been for the past 3 years.
"A decade after the 2008 financial crisis, Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, Henry Paulson, Ben Bernanke, Timothy Geithner, and more speak out as they never have before.
Panic: The Untold Story of the 2008 Financial Crisis"
(Caveat: I didn't watch the videos, so I don't know what story they are telling today.)
Those who were watching closely when it happened know how close the world came to a complete financial system meltdown. Almost no one knows we came very close to repeating it, around 2014.
I didn't watch the video either, and I'm certainly not an expert on economics, but here's my take on the collapse of '08--
It was brought about by excessively lenient screening of mortgage seekers. The point came where an unacceptable number of loans went into default, putting pressure on the banks who no longer had adequate funds in reserve.
The solution all the economic genii came up with was to bail out the banks: taxpayer money to bolster the accounts. As a result, a gazillion homes went into foreclosure, flooding the RE market and forcing down prices. We all lost 1/4th the value of our homes, but the banks remained intact.
Couldn't his all have been avoided if the bailout money had gone to the homeowners instead of the banks, and then forwarded to the banks to balance those accounts. Those in default could have remained in their homes and kept them off the market, thus preserving the value.
Sum total-- same amount of lost taxpayer money, but no fall in RE values and no people forced out of their homes.
But then, I don't think The Elephant Man looks anything at all like an elephant either. Maybe I'm the stupid one.

Can't mention the unmentionables. It's banworthy.

The people in charge of this country hate Americans (specifically the American middle-class). And I mean HATE them.
How else could anyone explain their masochistic policies that are completely cancerous to the middle class?

You referring to the Trump administration?
