> What did I say that was false?

Let me quote you:

"Joseph infiltrated an established society"

No, he was a slave. He obeyed his masters.

"[Joseph] took over positions of power."

No, he was a very efficient and effective slave. Because of his ability to interpret dreams (given to him by God) and also his intense loyalty, Pharaoh put him in charge, made him second in command.

"[Joseph] had secret knowledge of upcoming catastrophies"

No, he interpreted Pharaoh's dream. As far as we know, the information was made public.

"[Joseph] took the resources of the native working men"

No, he had the people store their own food and grain. He managed the storage of the food and grain. We are not told what they were given in exchange for the storage. Perhaps Pharaoh seized if by force but this is unclear.

"... used those resources to enslave literally everyone he could"

He sold the grain back to the people. In the end, yes, pharaoh ended up owning everything, and Joseph owned nothing.

Pharaoh granted Joseph the right to emigrate into Egypt and set aside land for him as a favor.

"sounds like a group we know"

Joseph is the exact opposite of the "group we know". He saved Egypt. Everyone else was starving. Nations collapsed during that famine. Even Israel had to come begging for food, willing to trade all of their property for a few sacks of grain.

Joseph never took power to himself. He never violated the trust people put in him. He never rebelled against his masters. He never even said anything cross about them. He simply did his best to serve and love those around him in every way he could, despite the fact that they bitterly abused him.

Remember, Joseph of Egypt is NOT the ancestor of the jews. His descendants were bitter enemies of the jews. In fact, after King Solomon, the nation of Israel split in two. Joseph's descendants lead the 10 tribes in the Kingdom of Israel, and Judah ruled over themselves and Benjamin in the Kingdom of Judah.
