The anti-Semite’s conflict mirrors a clash between prejudiced and democratic norms

Evidence

In terms of ideology, the anti-Semite’s conflict is between the current, culturally `approved’ stereotypes of prejudice and the officially prevailing standards of democracy and human equality. Viewed psychologically, the conflict is between certain foreconscious or repressed id tendencies on the one hand and the superego, or its more or less externalized, conventional substitute, on the other. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 1792
