Is Voat a fed nest?
Very possibly. Particularly in the system subs where brigading is possible. But this sub is an oasis from it. Their downvotes will have no effect on your CCP here.
We reserve the right to ban anyone we deem to be disruptive without notice.
If you are observed calling another poster Jewish on Voat you will be banned in this sub.

The Netherlands are one of the most amazing success stories of early modern Europe and of the power of capitalism, a tiny swampland nation of fishers and sailors not only surviving the wrath of House Habsburg, but thriving and turning it into an economic powerhouse.
I am not very familiar with the treatment and position of Jews in the Netherlands at that time, but it wouldn't surprise me if in a nation built on trade they were thriving and adding to the economy. I know that they definitively played an important role in growing Antwerp and its economy.
Not that I am one of those who need to be convinced. As a Capitalist first and an admirer of the likes of Fritz Haber or Ludwig Mises second, I am part of the choir that is being preached to.
