I don't know, I clicked the Quillette link[1] in this HN comment[2] and there's over a dozen anti-semitic comments.
A couple of commenters even went out of their way to write coherently-worded, but disgusting, multi-paragraph anti-semitic rants.
I've seen comments like that on Stormfront or, recently, the comments section on Fox News articles.
However the dozens of social media groups, mailing lists and forums I'm a member of don't seem to have a problem with anti-semitic conspiracy theories littering their pages. Most of them are academic, tech or humor related and are far from a 'left wing internet bubble' you want to pigeonhole me as being stuck in.
What is it about Quillette that attracts such anti-semitic commenters? Is it just something about the article?
