I don't know how common it was, but I found this in the first comment section I looked:

> Could it be the Chosenbergs? Although a small group, they seem to control the majority of US record labels, as well as the news outlets, the pharmaceutical companies, the bank institutions, the pornography industry, the entertainment industry, ect.

(9 points, replying to "I wonder who runs these record labels?" which was setting up that reply)

Comment sections always have some garbage in them. At least there's a report button that does something.

I visit a number of conservative and libertarian discussion forums and the "blame the jews" conspiracy has completely lost its steam. Don't get me wrong I can see how it's offensive and unwelcoming to jewish people but I just don't see the same level of commitment to the idea that some secret cabal of jews run the world or run America as I used to, just random remarks.

On the other hand it could be these are the same people who were previously writing theses on the matter and they've actually been effectively silenced and only drop hints at the idea anymore.

I guess this is the risk of lurking the front page nowadays; Glancing at a subreddit's memes and never reading their comments apparently put me in the antisemtic camp.

Fuck the modern internet, I'm out.
