From my understanding the term refers to postmodernism as an imposed idiology. I think it’s a fairly new term, conservatives like Douglas Murray of The Spectator have used it for a couple of years. It’s true it’s been adopted widely by the antisemitic far right. The idea that the term is toxic (either ‘because bigot x used it’ or because Marx and postmodern philosophers were Jewish) ... is a bit of a stretch I think but we live in weird times.

I know that comes up in the Google summary, but from everything I read about its usage there doesn't seem to be antisemitic in focus. Manly anti-minority and anti-progressive.
Anyone know if there's a particular reason for it being characterised specifically as antisemitic, rather than anti-anythingelse? Is it the conspiracy element + media?
Cheers.
