You’re right that they don’t mesh with Judaism.

They also don’t mesh with Christianity.

The religion aspect of it is completely hollow; just a front used to mask being a hate group.

That’s a fair point; my statement was probably too strong.

Finer grained distinctions absolutely do matter, I just think they are overshadowed by the difference between working class and wealthy class.

Exactly this.

The only meaningful class distinction is working class/wealthy class.

Working class is anyone who has to work for their income whereas wealthy class is anyone whose wealth generates enough income for them on its own.

It’s possible to move from working class to wealthy class, after all people do actually do that, but it’s exceptionally rare because it’s exceptionally difficult.

Discipline alone isn’t enough, as you also have to be lucky enough to avoid things like major medical issues, bad market timing, and other financial headwinds that are out of your control.

Joe Biden ‘discussing’ possible Israeli strikes on Iran oil facilities

Casually discussing committing war crimes... civilian energy infrastructure is not a valid military target.

Why are you pretending that is some sort of gotcha?

Diplomats communicating with their nation’s allies does not make them legitimate military targets.

Try bending at the first finger joints instead of at the knuckles.

I don’t bother to fold my fingers all the way when I do it. All you need is a binary on/off, so just bending any discernible amount is sufficient.
