Uchihas are Jew-coded

Preface: I'm Jewish. As with all marginalized minorities, outsiders are welcome to listen, ask questions etc. but not talk over or goysplain us. This applies especially to challenging our indigeneity. Which is not in "Gobacktoeurope"...

Obito

I first started headcanoning this after seeing Obito's Kamui dimension. His panic room looks a lot like the Holocaust memorial in Berlin.

He also said this to Rin:

Talmud (Sanhedrin 37a): “Whoever saves a single life is considered by scripture to have saved the whole world.'

Tikkun Olam: if I ruled the world...

Jews have a collective imperative of Tikkun Olam, aka fixing the world. Obito's and Madara's drive to do so means little on the face since many anime villains have this goal, but given the previous things mentioned, this looks like part of a pattern. Itachi and Sasuke, too, wanted to shoulder the weight of the world to make it a better place. Even if it meant the whole world hating you - like the whole world has hated and still hates Jews.

Let's delve deeper into that hatred, shall we? The anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that we secretly run the world is directly tied to our imperative to fix it. You can't fix anything without power and influence. In fact, the whole notion of Tikkun Olam being our job, may strike Gentiles as conceited and inspire hatred. Obito and Madara needed to "run the world" in order to "fix it" and were happy to accept that this meant being hated.

This "Jews control the world" conspiracy theory connects seamlessly to Konoha's suspicion of the clan conspiring to take over and using the Sharingan, a trait unique to the Uchiha, to control tailed beasts in order to execute such a take-over. Kotoamatsukami is the ultimate parallel to Jews secretly controlling the media, and with them, public opinion (but not in our favour?).

Just like the Sharingan, Jews have, or are accused of having, singular qualities that facilitate our rise to power. This is because Judaism is a closed (ethno)religion and opting in (converting), having interfaith families etc. is discouraged. In some ultra-Orthodox communities, this is taken quite far... Let's just say that Uchiha wives, too, take their husband's last name, but Mikoto Uchiha looks like Sasuke looks like Izuna... go figure. Of course, in the case of Jews, this quality is not so much a gate-kept genetic trait, as a gravitation towards intellectual and influential professions passed down through generations. This is a direct result of anti-Semitic policy though: often being excluded from handicraft etc, Jews shifted the focus to administrative, financial and legal sectors. Jews are also traditionally studious, so our apparent domination of the Noble Prize is a result of this.

But no matter the cause of our success in certain areas, it would obviously have Gentiles eyeing us with suspicion. Why is a single ethnoreligious minority so prominently represented in positions of influence and acclaim? What might we be plotting? Why shouldn't we be plotting, since we ARE - allegedly - conniving, manipulative and greedy? Better get rid of us. Remember: Nazis hated Jews and were scared of arts and literature. Being Jewish and being an intellectual are, if you ask anti-Semites, shortcuts to power. You know who else hates books and Jews? Every single terrorist organization, be it Taliban, Hamas, ISIS,... Anti-intellectuals are often anti-Semites. Education is power. Jews love education. Terrorist regimes hate smart subjects. Ignorance is cheaper than bullets, after all.

Ghetto Uprising/Beware the Beginnings

The clan suspected the compound was just the beginning. Although the discrimination the Uchiha actually suffered - a compound, which all the other clans got, too, and surveillance - was not comparable to the Warsaw Ghetto or any other real world segregation, Fugaku and other clan members expected it to take a turn for the worse if ignored. And in order to prevent another Holocaust, you must recognize and fight the beginnings.

These beginnings are upon us once more. Anti-Semitism has been skyrocketing, and blaming Israel, a single, far-away country, is dishonest, considering:

Palestinians have massacred Jews decades before there even was a state of Israel; what Nakba was their excuse in 1922? What Nakba was there in Iran?

Jews are entitled to Israeli citizenship, all moving expenses paid, so why do many live in Diaspora? Could it be that they do not wish to be involved with the state of Israel? So why take it out on them, unless one already hated Jews?

The most recent rise in anti-Semitism didn't follow Israel's bombardment of Gaza, but the DAY of Hamas' mass rapes, mutilations, torture, and murder of 1000+ Jews on October 7. People who don't usually praise children, including those of "colonizers", getting slaughtered and mutilated, suddenly praised exactly that. These people have always been anti-Semitic and found an excuse to be loud about it by weaponizing Palestinian suffering, which they only care about because Jews are the culprit. Proof: Houthis are starving Muslim children in Yemen, China oppresses Uyghur Muslims, Assad gassed Muslims, America bombed Muslims for 20 years, but - crickets. Think about it.

Likewise, the Narutoverse counterpart of the Nazis or Hamas, Tobirama and his acolytes, have found many a lazy excuse, most notably the Kyuubi attack. They suspected an Uchiha, and little did they know they were right, except, just like Netanyahu and the people under his command, a single deranged Obito did not represent a critical mass of Uchihas. And yet, the clan, just as world Jewry, faced collective punishment. The Narutoverse Nazis were frothing at the mouth for an excuse for decades, and notable Uchiha individuals kept delivering, not least because their own incompetence, just like Netanyahu's, allowed things to get that far to begin with.

Isobu

Doesn't Isobu look a lot like shellfish? And isn't he why Rin killed herself? Rin was Obito's everything and she died because of this monster. Not that it was Isobu's fault, but still. Jews aren't allowed to eat shellfish. Obito has every reason to hate shellfish for the mere memory that stuff evokes. I know it's a bit of a reach, but again, patterns.

Dress Codes

For a proud, prominent clan with a bit of a superiority complex for their gate-kept characteristics, the Uchiha sure dress very modestly, the women even more so. In fact, they might just be the least flashy of all Konoha communities. The muted colours and baggy cuts scream "modesty". If you've ever wandered an Orthodox Jewish neighbourhood, you'll see the women tend to wear long, plain skirts, long, tight sleeves, ultra-conservative shoes, and plain, long or covered hair.

Mikoto fits right in, but so do other Uchiha women. Izumi is a bit "daring" with her sleeveless look, but her overall style still fits. Nobody in that clan seems to have much vanity, while the general population of Konoha and the Narutoverse at large, is a lot more individualistic.

"This guy just slaughtered the whole police force, let's throw a kunai at him and see what happens" bless her little heart

Flag Infestation

Uchihas have no chill when it comes to plastering their logo everywhere in their compound. They were driven out of the general public and are doubling down on pride as a result. Same applies to Jews in the safety of our indigenous homeland (the Jewish Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem predates Islam, born in modern Saudi Arabia, by many centuries, so don't Gobacktoeurope me).

Oh, and a Nazi found an excuse to ghetto them up, assigned some of them authority to keep their own in check (Sonderkommando/"Konoha" military police), then got rid of them all and managed to sell it as a necessary evil.

BEIJING (Reuters) - After quitting the education industry last August due to China's crackdown on private tutoring, He Ajun has found an unlikely second life as an unemployment influencer.

The Guangzhou-based vlogger, 32, offers career advice to her 8,400 followers, charting her journey through long-term joblessness. "Unemployed at 31, not a single thing accomplished," she posted last December.

He is now making around 5,000 yuan ($700) per month through ads on her vlogs, content editing, private consultations and selling handicrafts at street stalls.

"I think in future freelancing will be normalised," said He. "Even if you stay in the workplace, you'll still need freelancing abilities. I believe it will become a backup skill, like driving."

China is under instruction to unleash "new productive forces", with government policies targeting narrow areas of science and technology including AI and robotics.

But critics say that has meant weak demand in other sectors and risks leaving behind a generation of highly educated young people, who missed the last boom and graduated too late to retrain for emerging industries.

A record 11.79 million university graduates this year face unprecedented job scarcity amid widespread layoffs in white-collar sectors including finance, while Tesla, IBM and ByteDance have also cut jobs in recent months.

Urban youth unemployment for the roughly 100 million Chinese aged 16-24 spiked to 17.1% in July, a figure analysts say masks millions of rural unemployed.

China suspended releasing youth jobless data after it reached an all-time high of 21.3% in June 2023, later tweaking criteria to exclude current students.

Over 200 million people are currently working in the gig economy and even that once fast-growing sector has its own overcapacity issues. A dozen Chinese cities have warned of ride-hailing oversaturation this year.

Redundancies have even spread to government work, long considered an "iron rice bowl" of lifetime employment.

Last year Beijing announced a 5% headcount reduction and thousands have been laid off since, according to official announcements and news reports. Henan province trimmed 5,600 jobs earlier this year, while Shandong province has cut nearly 10,000 positions since 2022.

Meanwhile, analysts say China's 3.9 million vocational college graduates are mostly equipped for low-end manufacturing and service jobs, and reforms announced in 2022 will take years to fix underinvestment in training long regarded as inferior to universities.

China currently faces a shortage of welders, joiners, elderly caregivers and "highly-skilled digital talent", its human resources minister said in March.

Yao Lu, a sociologist at Columbia University, estimates about 25% of college graduates aged 23-35 are currently in jobs below their academic qualifications.

Many of China's nearly 48 million university students are likely to have poor starting salaries and contribute relatively little in taxes throughout their lifetimes, said one Chinese economist who asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the issue.

"Although they cannot be called a 'lost generation', it is a huge waste of human capital," the person said.

'DOING THREE PEOPLE'S JOBS'

Chinese President Xi Jinping in May urged officials to make job creation for new graduates a top priority. But for younger workers unemployed or recently fired, the mood is bleak, nine people interviewed by Reuters said.

Anna Wang, 23, quit her state bank job in Shenzhen this year due to high pressure and frequent unpaid overtime. For a salary of about 6,000 yuan per month, "I was doing three people's jobs," she said.

Her ex-colleagues complain about widespread pay cuts and transfers to positions with unmanageable workloads, effectively forcing them to resign. Wang now works part-time jobs as a CV editor and mystery shopper.

At a July briefing for foreign diplomats about an agenda-setting economic meeting, policymakers said they have been quietly urging companies to stop layoffs, one attendee told Reuters.

Olivia Lin, 30, left the civil service in July after widespread bonus cuts and bosses hinted at further redundancies. Four district-level bureaus were dissolved in her city of Shenzhen this year, according to public announcements.

"The general impression was that the current environment isn't good and fiscal pressure is really high," she said.

Lin now wants a tech job. She has had no interview offers after a month of searching. "This is completely different from 2021, when I was guaranteed one job interview a day," she said.

REDUCED STIGMA

Shut out of the job market and desperate for an outlet, young Chinese are sharing tips for surviving long-term unemployment. The hashtags "unemployed", "unemployment diary" and "laid off" received a combined 2.1 billion views on the Xiaohongshu platform He uses.

Users describe mundane daily routines, count down the days since being fired, share awkward chat exchanges with managers or dole out advice, sometimes accompanied by crying selfies.

The increasing visibility of jobless young people "increases broader social acceptance and reduces stigma surrounding unemployment", said Columbia's Lu, allowing otherwise isolated youth to connect and "perhaps even redefine what it means to be unemployed in today's economic climate".

Lu said unemployed graduates understood blaming the government for their plight would be both risky and ineffective. Rather, she said, they were more likely to slip into "an internalisation of discontent and blame" or "lying flat".

He, the influencer, thinks graduates should lower their ambitions.

"If we have indeed entered 'garbage time', then I think young people could accumulate skills or do something creative, such as selling things via social media or making handicrafts."

Lost Wax Casting: A Timeless Craft in Modern Context

Within the realm of handicrafts, some methods have withstood the test of time, maintaining their significance and elegance for decades. Among these, Lost wax casting is a technique that is highly valued for its complexity and adaptability and has a long history. This age-old method, which dates back thousands of years, still fascinates artists and fans by providing a window into the harmonious union of science and art.

The Method

Fundamentally, lost wax casting is an exacting procedure that starts with the construction of an intricate wax model, which can be created by hand or with the use of contemporary equipment like 3D printers. This wax model, which is covered in a heat-resistant substance like ceramic or plaster, functions as the prototype for the finished product.

After the mold is ready, it is carefully heated to remove the wax and leave behind a chamber that closely resembles the shape of the original model. The hollow left by the wax is subsequently filled with molten metal, usually silver or bronze but occasionally gold or other alloys. The Lost wax casting and Zamak die casting are in demand.

Talent and Adaptability

The art of lost wax casting is praised for its unmatched accuracy in capturing minute details. The method gives designers and artists the flexibility to realize their ideas in three dimensions, whether they are for intricate jewelry or massive sculptures. 

Lost wax casting is a technique used in sculpting and art that allows artists to create physical representations of their ideas while conserving the subtleties of their work for future generations. From the first shaping to the last polishing, every stage of the process calls for dexterity, patience, and a thorough grasp of the materials.

Modern Applications and Innovations

Although lost wax casting has its roots in history, it is still evolving thanks to cutting-edge methods and modern technology. Technological developments in materials, including 3D-printed wax models, have simplified the procedure and increased its potential. 

Lost wax casting is essential to the creation of intricate parts and prostheses in sectors like aerospace and dentistry where accuracy and dependability are critical. It's a favored process for producing high-quality, bespoke parts in Metal Assembly since it can build complex forms with little material waste.

"TRAVEL IN TIMES OF PANDEMIC"

TOURISM AND COVID-19 – UNPRECEDENTED ECONOMIC IMPACTS

The Policy Brief provides an overview of the pandemic's socioeconomic impacts on tourism, including the millions of jobs it supports. It emphasizes the role of tourism in advancing the SDGs, including its relationship with environmental goals and culture. The Brief emphasizes the importance of mitigating the effects on livelihoods, particularly for women, youth, and informal workers.

The crisis provides an opportunity to reconsider how tourism interacts with our societies, other economic sectors, and natural resources and ecosystems; to better measure and manage it; to ensure equitable distribution of its benefits; and to accelerate the transition to a carbon-neutral and resilient tourism economy.

HUGE IMPACT ON LIVELIHOODS

-Several examples of community involvement in nature tourism demonstrate how communities, including indigenous peoples, can protect their cultural and natural heritage while creating wealth and improving their well-being. The impact of COVID-19 on tourism puts additional strain on heritage conservation as well as community cultural and social fabric, particularly for indigenous peoples and ethnic groups.

-Many intangible cultural heritage practices, such as traditional festivals and gatherings, have been halted or postponed, and the closure of markets for handicrafts, products, and other goods has had a particularly negative impact on indigenous women's revenues.

Sustainable Fashion and Personal Care: A Goldmine for Venture Capital for Indian Start-ups

India has a rich heritage of textile handicrafts and holistic wellness. This heritage is driving a significant shift in the fashion and personal care industries towards sustainability. Compared to the global average of 12%, Indian consumers are willing to spend almost 20% more on sustainable products, as per a November 2023 Bain & Company survey. This is the highest premium among 11 countries.

The expanding market for sustainable lifestyle companies is indicative of this shift. The sustainable lifestyle sector in India is growing in potential as investors in sustainable finance turn their attention towards environmentally and socially conscious behaviors. According to a Boston Consulting Group (BCG) analysis, India's market for sustainable fashion is expected to grow to $9 billion by 2025.

With a population of over 1.3 billion, this gives a unique potential for venture capital funding to assist enterprises devoted to making a beneficial effect on the environment and society while generating significant financial rewards. Let's look at the growth of sustainable lifestyle businesses in India and the immense prospects for venture capital for start-ups.

The Rise of Sustainability in India

Sustainability is profoundly ingrained in Indian culture, which values ecological balance, resource conservation, and community-centered life. Growing concerns in India around pollution, climate change, and biodiversity loss are motivating consumers, businesses, and investors to explore environmentally sustainable substitutes. Initiatives that promote renewable energy, water conservation, and waste management help to build a sustainable mindset. The importance of venture capital for start-ups in the sustainable lifestyle industry is growing as a result of India's aspirations to attain net-zero emissions by 2070 and cut the emissions intensity of its GDP by 45% by 2030.

Indian firms are quickly incorporating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors into their operations, offering a fertile ground for sustainable start-ups. Venture capital for start-ups has exponential growth potential as a result of innovations in clean technology, sustainable materials, waste management, and digital supply chain platforms that are facilitating the creation of sustainable firms. India's Increasing Adoption of Sustainable Fashion

Sustainable fashion in India is gaining momentum as customers become more aware of their environmental effects and the social impact of their purchase decisions. According to the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), the fashion sector is the second-largest user of water and accounts for around 10% of global carbon emissions. This industry provides an incredible opportunity to combat climate change on several fronts.

Indian fashion manufacturers are increasingly using sustainable materials such as organic cotton, hemp, bamboo, and recycled textiles. These options reduce the use of toxic pesticides while improving biodiversity and soil health. Investing in businesses that make or use sustainable textiles can help to significantly reduce the environmental impact of the fashion industry. Supporting start-ups developing innovative sustainable fabric technologies, such as bio-based or recycled materials, is an excellent potential for sustainable financing investors.

Ethical labor standards are essential for sustainable fashion. These firms advocate for fair wages, safe working conditions, and community empowerment, collaborating with artists and crafters to conserve and respect traditional skills. The notion of circular fashion, which stresses reuse, recycling, and upcycling, is gaining popularity. Companies that manufacture clothing using repurposed materials, minimize waste, encourage resource efficiency, and follow fair trade standards are appealing targets for venture capital funding.

Sustainable Fashion and Green Frontier Capital

Green Frontier Capital has invested in Chupps, a direct-to-consumer sustainable footwear manufacturer, to capitalize on India's expanding sustainable fashion sector. Chupps is a company that specializes in ethical production of natural rubber goods that are 100% vegan and use closed-loop recycling. The company has already used over 27,055 kg of recycled materials, avoided over 168 tons of CO2, and generated over 3,727 green employment.

Chupps is an example of how environmental conservation and product innovation can coexist, making it an appealing possibility for sustainable finance investors and venture capital for start-ups in India.

The Growth of Sustainable Personal Care Brands in India

The personal care industry in India is also undergoing a long-term transition. Consumers are increasingly looking for natural and organic products that are free from harmful substances and environmentally friendly. According to Redseer, India's beauty and personal care industry is predicted to develop at a 10% CAGR from 2022 to 2027, hitting $30 billion by then.

Many manufacturers employ sustainably produced ingredients to make products that are friendly to both the skin and the environment. Investors may assist firms that value sustainable sourcing, biodiversity conservation, and community development. Sustainable packaging is also important, with businesses using biodegradable, compostable, and recyclable materials to minimize plastic waste.

 Green Frontier Capital and Sustainable Personal Care

Green Frontier Capital's portfolio includes RAS premium Skincare, India's first "farm-to-face" D2C premium skincare and personal brand founded entirely by women. RAS prioritizes sustainability through recyclable packaging, zero use of toxic chemicals and microplastics, and animal cruelty-free processes. It sources ingredients organically from its own farms or local farmers. RAS Luxury Skincare has significant potential for venture capital funding, and Green Frontier Capital is excited to be a part of its growth.

Challenges and the Path Forward

Despite potential growth, India's sustainable fashion and personal care businesses face major challenges. Making sustainable products affordable is critical to wider adoption. Supportive policies are required to promote sustainable activities and investments. Streamlining rules can make it easier for businesses to adopt sustainable practices.

Creating a sustainable supply chain from raw material sourcing to production and distribution is a hard task. Building transparent and ethical supply chains is critical for the reputation of sustainable companies. Limited access to cash and resources impedes the expansion of sustainable businesses. Venture funding for start-ups in this industry can give essential assistance to help these companies develop and prosper. Easier access to money through sustainable financing methods may help firms grow while mentoring, training, and resources can help sustainable enterprises succeed.
