I hate to ask, but is there a mega archive of newspaper articles world wide somewhere? Like if you could get newspapers from 1932 and read about gangs and stuff. When I was a kid, newspapers were available on microfilm at libraries, but I live in America.

Multiple reasons:

1. They always rebelled, usually for religious reasons, like against the Romans and Babylonians, hence leading to whatever imperial power governed them to get fed up and crush them into dust. Other colonial provinces fell in line usually, but the Jews kept starting rebellions.

2. Christians were forbidden from usury, i.e. charging extensive interest on loans. Thus Jews took this up as an occupation, charging large amounts of interest on loans they gave. This gave the public perception of them as stingy moneygrabbers who like to manipulate money and rip people off, and are only concerned with gold.

3. They are very insular. They didn't like associating with non-Jews and outside peoples, always harboring a contempt for non-Jews. This, combined with their minority status, made them very easy to hate.

4. Their Talmud book contains numerous hateful references to Christ, along with their reputation for having killed Christ.

5. Involvement in various political conspiracies, from communism to bolshevist uprisings, which targeted Christian churches and traditional social heierarchy.

6. Their involvement in communism which led to genocide of millions of Christians.

7. The influence of powerful families such as the Rothschilds in influencing international politics and profiting off war.

The free market fixed.

All the guys in pic related started businesses.

FDR just took all the (((credit))).

Have you taken the red pill yet?

Technically, WW2 finished off the depression, but that was simply an even larger form of Keynesian stimulus.

FDR's main accomplishment is totally reshaping the role of Government in American life. Before FDR the main way that the federal government could be seen in your average citizen's life was the post office. The Federal government was dwarfed by the states until The New Deal changed what the essential purpose of the Federal Government was. The "New Deal" didn't end the great depression, but it no doubt served to alleviate the immense misery & suffering of poor Americans during it.

It doesn't provide for the general welfare as well as a nation with an active state. I'd encourage you to look at the oligopolistic practices of the robber barons in 19th & 20th century America.

You had companies like Ford hiring their own private police forces to nakedly intimidate & often savagely beat workers who attempted to unionize. GM spent millions bugging its own factories & buying 'stool pigeons' to try and catch union-minded workers. Steel companies would play on the racial divides of its own workers to prevent them from coming together and bargaining.

You essentially have a dog-eat-dog world where the mass majority of people are disadvantaged & mistreated in the face of powerful capital.

perhaps some sort of happy medium is possible?

I think it's pretty self-explanatory
