immediate consequences i’m seeing of this is that internet comments are getting really comfortable with doing out and about antisemitic hate speech

I would argue that perhaps you are just more aware of it. The use of the (((them))) is a 4chan meme from twenty years ago and all of this really leaked out of 4chan around a decade ago when Trump announced his candidacy

    no, i've been aware and wary of it, and i'm not suggesting that the ((())) stuff is in any way new. i'm saying that every tiktok comment section wasn't filled with it and takes about "them" and "you know who it is" three months ago. overt antisemitism is on the rise because isntrael has succeeded in directly tying together the zionist entity with the jewish identity in people's minds. so for the normal (functionally illiterate) amerikkkan, "the jews" are committing genocide and therefore it's ok to be bigoted towards "the jews."
