After reading the last chapter of "From Yahweh to Zion" by Laurent Guyenot, I'm starting to wonder if the rampant aggression displayed by some members of the Jewish faith, in particular it's males of European decent, isn't because of being forced to undergo the ritual of symbolic castration as an infant.
Since they don't have anything higher up to turn to, (like the concept of Christ), all they have is their "angry jealous God", who most likely literally hates them. So they end up identifying with that unpleasant being. I'm not a fan of the Jewish religion because of that. I think they forget what this ritual REALLY means to the psychology of the people it's done to. I think the fall out of this practice is overlooked and/or forgotten.
It also might explain why some non Jewish males sympathise with their Jewish counterparts (subconsciously, they feel emasculated or castrated by a modern society that doesn't appreciate them or empower them except via pathological or artificial means), so they band together for strength.
Yeah that's probably a factor. How big it is would be the question. Systematic circumcision, to all males. I suppose some learn to cope / bypass the trauma. But basically it amounts to mutilating a part of the body whos probably intended to serve a function, embed in a whole (the body + surely the spiritual, especially since we're talking 'bout the sex). I think Sott already covered that up via a podcast, so yeah, I accept this as a reality, that many Jewish men would have to watch out to an innate tendency to grow "traumatized" in the sense of aggression, "something growing inside", etc. I had many Jew friends, and only a few of those were featuring the mono-aggressive "alpha male" thing. Others would tend to be more "self-effacing", discrete, shy, turned inwards into their own world. Well - traumatized and having been subjected to an injustice. Looking back, I may have been conflated this for the WW2 events. Wounded childs, after all. One does not grow up fully when your environment mutilates your body against your free-will (and without anesthesia).
And it's true that all motions featuring a slight aspect of "castration" (perhaps monotheist God - aka "rude dad", "rude parents") will trigger that old buried pain. What a sorrow for those kids. Alice Miller comes to mind here. It has been an object of study for me than to understand that, in society, there exists a big consensual world view, which goes by "being stronger than the violence we suffer from". That's more or less one "recipe" that common people have been borowing. It does not work super well since it does not adress the real issues - but here it is - be a gangster, a mob boss, be "dominant" - that's one thing which, some say, works (it does not of course). So - triggered by a dominant society, circumcized Jewish males would be tempted to head for such world view. Understandable, since it's a matter of trauma loop. They would have to get outside of their native environment, where the practice of circumcision is encouraged, and, too, outside of the main stream society - in order to find a helping hand, susceptible of really alleviating their trauma. Could be why the Kibbutz works so well. In short, circumcized Jewish males ought to head for "New age hippies" & alike; disconnecting from Tiktok, Facebook, Wall Street - and head to a religion of peace (among other things, one that would feature the opposite of monotheist vengeful daddy Gd), or a spiritual system.
