As it relates to the context of Hegel/Strauss, you are out of contextual understanding.
I mean, seriously. Delving into that time period and attempting to understand the context would help.

There may not necessarily be a direct antipathy by mythers of today, but the root of their mytherism is rotten to the core. That's the point.
I admit I haven't watched this video. I was hoping for a thumbnail from you to sort out how allegiance to Hegel resulted in genetic antisemitism of today's mythicists. Anti-Christian roots seem more plausible. "Mythers" are just bad people to you, so I hope you can see why I'm inclined to think you're piling on.

Christians have a FAR worse record of dealing with Jews than atheists could ever hope to so for the former to accuse the letter of Jewish persecution is lame, stupid and insulting but then anything less wouldn't starflant, would it?
