    What is the connection here with antisemitism? Unless I’m mistaken, I’d put this in the realm of schizophrenic delusions. I recognize that they’re likely to also be antisemitic, but is this specifically antisemitic?

      It matches a couple of the patterns that antisemitic conspiracy theories have. Namely a secret society aimed at changing the status quo by subversion of ‘all the good people’. That’s a common theme, and has been used by both right wing and left wing antisemites. If you ask why would they subvert the good people, they answer, “It’s because it’s in their nature”

      Admittedly, it’s missing the tropes, like Christian Values, marxist-capitalists, etc, so more context is needed to say for certain
