I’ve seen this before on comment sections to Pepe Escobar articles, general “Jews control XYZ” type conspiracy theories. I consider Pepe Escobar to be pretty good and not really cultivate this stuff himself afaik.

So in the present case and with Escobar, I think libertarian conspiracy brains latch onto anti Biden/Obama stuff, anything with Israel is gonna attract anti-Semitic conspiracies, goldbugs are just absolute anti-establishment freaks, etc.

So stuff which is based in truth finds followers who are deranged weirdos, hence the fucked vibes surrounding a lot of semi-truthful stuff sometimes.

In this case though I am really curious about the lists being 1-1 copies of each other, and I’m curious who the ultimate source is

Or maybe these comment sections are seeded with anti semitic stuff to smear the authors by association.
