It's 2017. Why are there still Nazis?
It's a question many observers are asking after hundreds of white supremacists, many displaying swastikas and Confederate battle flags and shouting racist, anti-Semitic, and anti-communist slogans, took to the streets of Charlottesville, Va., this weekend, provoking violence that claimed the life of one counter-protester and resulted in multiple injuries.
The continued existence of people who hold openly white supremacist ideologies more than seven decades after the fall of the Third Reich can be explained, in part, through a social theory developed in the early 1990s. Social dominance theory seeks to explain how hierarchy-enhancing ideologies do not just drive social inequality, but are also a result of it. It suggests that a single personality trait, called social dominance orientation (SDO), strongly predicts a person's political and social views, from foreign policy and criminal justice to civil rights and the environment. What's more, it offers insight into how ideologies such as racism, sexism, and xenophobia tend to arise from the unequal distribution of a society's resources.
"Social dominance theory provides a yardstick for measuring social and political ideologies," says Felicia Pratto, who developed the theory with fellow psychologist Jim Sidanius. "SDO is one way – not the only one – to try to figure out what those ideologies are 'about.'"
You too can take the Social Dominance Orientation quiz to determine your nazi quotient.

And I call you an idiot because most Jews have nothing to do with any of that, the vast majority of the degeneracy-pushers are not Jews and they generally hate the Jews, and the Jewish media is putting out the best reporting on their activities. Tablet, Algemeiner, and the Jerusalem Post have had several good investigative articles over the past couple of years.
The same goes for the 1% and Wall Street. The bad guys are up there but not everyone is infected.

Israel has been purposely collecting Jews from all over the world for decades now. Israel provides all sorts of assistance to help them move and settle in.
Some Jews accept the offer. Some Jews do not. This is sorting by personality type.
The ones who are conservative have mostly left the USA by now. We get to keep the leftovers, as liberal as could be. They can be shockingly self-loathing, which would be fine by me if not for the fact that I suffer as a result. The liberal Jews are happy to welcome muslims to infect the USA, ultimately causing Jews to die. Well fine, except that people like me will also die.
Heh... "Dear Israel, could we trade some of our Jews for some of your Jews?"
