I have noticed over the last year or so that so-called "protocols of zion" are being circulated more and more on the internet as if they represent some real world conspiracy by Jewish people. I have read parts of the so-called "protocols" and they don't seem like they should be taken very seriously. Just consider one allegation of these so-called protocols. Jews supposedly agree to give other people bad advice. The conspiratorial mind-set suggests that Jews have agreed to deceive all the stupid goyim by giving them bad advice. This seems laughable.
This sort of "conspiracy" seems absurd on its face. Who is to say that Jews will be giving everyone advice or even be listened to or give the same advice? Then any group can presumably see that bad advice is bad! Can't people think for themselves?
My unstudied criticism of the so-called "protocols of zion" is that these allegedly Jewish conspiracy documents hardly constitute evidence for a great Jewish conspiracy. It is my understanding that the document's origin is in question, but I am confident that the so-called "protocols of zion"don't represent any sort of Jewish agreement or conspiracy.
I am looking for a more comprehensive critique of this ridiculous document but reading portions of it, it was difficult for me to imagine taking it seriously as anything but a document meant to harm the reputation of Jews. Furthermore, while "world Jewry" has sponsored many organizations and passed many resolutions and had many varied opinions about everything these so-called protocols seem like they were written by someone with an anti-Jewish agenda.
Yet even with the absurd assumption that people will automatically take bad advice too many are misled into believing that the so-called protocols represent some sort of real conspiracy by most if not all Jews. Prior to this particular antisemitic white supremacist act of violence I was already thinking that someone should criticize these so-called protocols and expose the circulation of this fraudulent document as part of a conspiracy to misrepresent reality and in particular as part of a conspiracy to misrepresent and demonize Jews.
Then this ancient Nazi shoots up the National Holocaust Museum and so I hope others will better understand the urgency with which we must directly criticize racist and unscientific ideas about human origins. What seems obvious to some of us may require explanation for someone else. This Nazi probably believes so-called "Whites" are superior to Jews or other so-called races, in part because he embraces some unscientific story about God concocting one race out of mud and another out of who knows what but the point is that these religious creation ideas are the ideological basis for the belief in "White" superiority and the right to kill the supposedly inferior people who are not "White". Let those of us who are fortunate enough to have a basic science education openly agree to provide scientific education to others who may be in need of it.
As noted while reading about the white supremacist shooter who killed Officer Johns at the National Holocaust Museum I noticed that it was reported that he took these so-called protocols very seriously in his own racist and openly anti-Semitic screed. I guess that fits in with his apparently signing documents with the salutation "heil hitlr"! Like Hitler, this man was apparently pathologically obsessed with a nonexistent but omnipresent Jewish conspiracy.
The shooter also has had various racist beliefs about "gene pools" and some sort of "white supremacist" racial purity goals.
This man's faith based violence could serve as an opportunity to criticize and reject prescientific views about "race" and "racial superiority". Much can be done to educate the working class and all sectors about the origins of the human race. While there are religious myths about human origins the theory of natural selection and evolutionary theory in general has decisively demonstrated that all humans are essentially the same species. The racist believes that each ethnic or cultural group is so genetically different from the others that there are essentially different species but biology and science prove this is nonsense.
This crazy old Nazi proves that embracing nonsense and prescientific thinking can lead us to mayhem and catastrophe. While this fellow is probably uneducable in this area I believe that many who have been misled will prefer the candle of reason and the facts of science to religious dogmas, especially religious dogmas based on hate filled lies like white supremacist origins myths.
