Not in majority of cases but certainly some far-lefties and alt-righters and some extreme libertarians have antisemitic tendencies.

I didn't know it was until today.  Sorry, I guess I couldn't see that criticizing certain business actions is racist because of my white privilege.

Someone ought to give Bernie Sanders a call and tell him to stop his Jew-bashing.

 Its a bit of a ridiculous question but nobody who has posted has given a definitive "yes, all of the critics are antisemites!!1o11one"

Clearly, there are some who prob do think that way but, clearly, a majority of critics of wall street are not.

(Ethnically Jewish) Probably not. A lot of it is merely resentment of those at the top because of a lack of economic mobility.

for Alex Jones type far-righties it's obviously yes.

for others, it's obviously no in 99.9% of cases.

The alt-right has really gotten into people's heads lately.

for Alex Jones type far-righties it's obviously yes.

It's funny, Jones has gotten tons of sh**t for many years from far-right types who would otherwise be sympathetic to him for never mentioning Jews.

No, though anti-semites will often hide behind a hatred of wall street.

Nah, primarily hack wannabe communists.

That being said, there is a distinct strain of anti-semite who loves to use Jewish names on Wall Street to make their point. They're not hard to spot.

No, but the complaints about "intellectuals" from the right wing certainly is.

Interestingly, for me, my mental WS stereotype is a tone-deaf middle-aged WASP in a nice suit, which I think is accurate, though obviously jews are disproportionately represented on WS now that I think about it.

To answer the question, no, though it is obviously an element for some.  Bottom line is that, while good financial professionals are necessary, Wall Street deserves the hate it gets, and should probably get more.

Not many of the problems of 07-08 have been fixed, and WS needs a cop to police it to prevent crashes and promote competition (or at least one that it isn't bribing).

A lot borrows the tropes of casual anti-setimism, and it is not hard to stumble upon it in certain circles.
