Aristocracies and totalitarian dictatorships, in the name of religion or "science", must form the stupid and aggressive type of subject and, in times of crisis, stir them up against peaceful, tolerant minorities. For almost 2,000 years, these were mainly the Jews of the Diaspora. They were at the forefront of the development of "civil" values, the foundations of the Western world. This thesis, developed with the conceptual tools of Elias and Luhmann, is confirmed over the centuries up to the present conflict over Israel.
