Someone has taken the Rothschild motto too literally:

“Buy when there is blood in the streets, even if it is your own.” — Baron Nathan Rothschild

That was referring to equities. The modern version should be short oil when there is blood in the street and the president truths.

Not really seeing the connection there. You buy low and sell high.

In the context of war profiteering this is a long used racist trope, intentionally misquoted

how are we supposed to read your mind ????

So any criticism of one of the richest family in history is inherently racist?

That’s exactly what you’re saying in response to nothing more than a quote.

The only place I've heard that name come up recently is the very real and close association to Jeffrey Epstein

You have a curious habit of comparing your opponents to Nazis. You should be careful, that's +40 points on the crackpot index.

nazi/fascists do indeed refer to the rothchilds a disproportionate amount. nothing crackpot about it

> Little wonder that Zionists cry "Nazis!"

False dichotomy, circular blame-shifting used by a party that owns/is both.

Yeah. On the surface it sounds crazy.

Everyone always says as if it is obvious, go back in time and kill Hitler. That this would be a overwhelming good.

But, if you go back, and he was a baby. At that time, there is no indication of evil, so you would be a baby killer, but for good. You would look crazy.

So, extrapolate that to present. Killing someone today, might also be seen as a universal good, but nobody would know it yet.

Is todays crazy, really crazy? or just not obvious yet. And some would say, it is pretty obvious.

That’s not what that quote means. It means even if your portfolio is down you should keep buying.

That's what they meant by "too literally."

No, the "quote" (more like anonymous anecdote) is quite literally about blood running in the streets presenting an opportunity to buy assets at reduced cost.
