How so? Do you mean the caricature has been co-opted by far-right activists and provocateurs[1] to promote antisemitism while hiding behind a flimsy defense of ironic trolling?

Or do you mean that in the past decade the Internet has come to its senses and contemporary usage of the meme means: “I am posting this as an affirmation that I _should_ be able to post it, not that I’m a racist, so don’t question my motivation. I come in peace. ;);)”[2]

It's like when caricatures of prophet Mohamed were published and muslim world start attacking the outlet and innocent people.

Same here - pic without any nuance gets immediately attacked.

warning: don't click second link if you care about your mental health. it's like browsing antifa's twitter. disturbing.
