you're not wrong about most of this, but anti-semitic? he's very openly Jewish

I don’t claim to understand, but it’s still a theme.

Maybe it’s an elite vs mass culture anti-semitism? Lots of internalized hatred among ‘bougie’ white and black people towards their respective poor strata; why would a Jewish person interested in reactionary politics spare the normies who, on the whole, abhor it?

His father was Jewish but his mother is said to be a Protestant. He doesn't describe himself as Jewish as far as I can see.

Ironically, the same is true of Karl Marx! His father converted to Lutheranism and Karl was baptized as such.

As a young man he wrote a paper on the topical question of the Jews in Prussia[0], regarded in the modern day as antisemitic, though probably tame for the era.
