Seriously I apologize that was not appropriate. PS: some of my friends are Jewish, I am a little sensitive.
Respectfully, this is not relevant to an informed discussion. I also have Jewish friends. The point I previously made, which you objected to, is the 'left-wing-victim-narrative' used by blacks, gays, women & other so-called 'minorities', that appears to characterize US politics, is primarily of Jewish origins & mimics the historical Jewish victim narrative; just as the sexual liberalism of the entertainment industry largely of Jewish origins. I do acknowledge there obviously were non-Jewish people, such as legislators, supporting this liberalism. Similarly, it appears quite obvious US foreign policy often has an Israeli or Zionist narrative; & the US mass-media that propagates this narrative is largely Zionist in its leanings. Therefore, if you believe what I have posted here is factually wrong, you are welcome to provide evidence & information to educate me that my views are wrong or inaccurate. However, to claim you have Jewish friends is not a response because it is more name-calling of 'anitsemiticism', as described (but not mentioned) this video.

I am also a 'wog'.
Is that Australian slang for person of color? If you don't mind me asking, what is your ethnic background?
A wog is probably similar to US 'wop'; a person of darker skinned Mediterranean origins.

Yea I get it. I just have knee-jerk reactions. I think I should avoid political discussions.

That's up to you. But I merely posted my impression that both left-wing & right-wing US politics have many Jewish narratives. When I use the word "Jewish", I am referring to a sub-culture & ideology (rather than a racial group). I did not say this about the politics of other Western nations. I was clear in my original post that these narratives are historically absent from Australia politics, for example. In Australia, the word "liberal" means "conservative" or "right wing" because "liberals" were historically primarily concerned with free-trade & free-economics, including labour relations. "Liberal" in Australia does not mean to be sexually liberal or to support LGBT, etc.

Authoritarian right, but only just, and looking pretty moderate for a UKIP voter.

“Keep to your own pastures, bhikkhus, walk in the haunts where your fathers roamed.
If ye thus walk in them, Māra will find no lodgement, Māra will find no foothold.”
— Cakkavattisīhanāda Sutta
He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …
...
He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form. John Stuart Mill
"A 'position,' Vaccha, is something that a Tathagata has done away with. What a Tathagata sees is this: 'Such is form, such its origination, such its disappearance; such is feeling, such its origination, such its disappearance; such is perception...such are fabrications...such is consciousness, such its origination, such its disappearance.'" - Aggi-Vacchagotta Sutta
