Them: You have to believe in the Magic
5 Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. 7 Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.”
-Luke 4:5-7
The organizing and controlling principle of any large and complex system/society is, essentially, magic.
When magic fails, rejection, apathy, delusion and unrest ensue on the part of the governed.
Pax Judaica is just another smokescreen, from a long list of psyops to cow us into ritualized submission in exchange for perceived pleasure and comfort, and as each fails, far more draconian measures ensue.
I tell Him: It's ok to be an anachronism, if we live in anachronistic times. He says: It's never too late to learn the only things that sustain us, forever, are God, love, family and community.
