Thanks for sharing, this feels really important right now.

Reading about QAnon over the last year, I've been reminded just how intrinsic antisemitism seems to be to conspiratorial thinking. Regardless from which position on the ideological spectrum new recruits come, they seem to inevitably end up spouting centuries old tropes about cabals, the Rothschilds and blood libel. It's horrifying how consistent the association has become.

The root of antisemitism may differ between the left and right (neonazism, support for the Nation of Islam, concerns about Israel run into a psychotic frenzy etc etc etc), but the fruits are the same. Understanding where that instinct comes from, and halting it, in both ideological camps, feels more important than ever.
