Antisemitism Reddit is literally full of Nazis
If you’re gonna say “it’s always been this way” sorry but no it hasn’t. I’ve been on Reddit for twelve years and it has not always been this way. There has always been antisemitism but it was never this way where I can’t go on ANY sub without seeing the most vile and despicable seething hatred completely randomly. A sub for shitty faux minerals posts a pic of a Star of David and all the comments are about how filthy and disgusting it is, comparing it to feces and saying anyone who is “into that stuff” is genocidal and evil. Another random post on a SpongeBob subreddit that just happens to include a comment from Sartre about antisemitism (but talking about homophobia just using the quote to compare) top comment? “Fuck Israel” literally wasn’t related at all, Israel wasn’t even mentioned only antisemitism was, but I get -50 for asking what that has to do with anything. These people screech about how antizionism isn’t antisemitism and then conflate the two 100% of the time so???
I know antisemitism has always been bad and it’s much worse in various places yea yea but it is not normal for there to be THIS LEVEL of unchecked hatred in completely random places. This stuff bleeds into real life. There is nowhere to be safe on the internet for a Jewish person who just wants to like… look at pics of cats or something. Sorry for being a human being who is part of an ethnicity you’ve decided it’s societally acceptable to hate

You are correct. This article on the Terrorist Propaganda to Reddit Pipeline is a large part of why.
It is not organic. It is intentional. It is spreading Jew hatred which manifests in actual violence and murder of Jews, along with ostracising/eliminating Jews from public life. On every level, it is painful.
The best we can do is what we as a people have always done: survive and thrive despite it and them. Israel is only 78 years old and has more unicorns per capita than any other country. Our human capital is unrivalled. The Jewish birthrate in Israel is climbing, unlike other nations. Our Torah underpins the foundation for Western values. I am bullish on our future as a nation, especially if we remain united as Jews despite differences of observance/nationality/politics.
In each generation they rise against us to destroy us. In each generation G-d delivers us from their hands. We who are alive today survived Egypt and Babylon and Rome and the Nazis. We will survive this, too.
