Binary Breeding Grounds: How the Manosphere Manufactures Modern Antisemitism
This study examines how the manosphere has become a digital breeding ground for modern antisemitism, systematically integrating conspiracy theories with masculine grievance narratives. Through analysis of content from major platforms (2020-2024), the research reveals how engagement-driven algorithms gradually expose users to antisemitic content through seemingly unrelated dating and lifestyle advice.
The investigation documents the ideological transformation of major influencers with combined audiences exceeding 65 million followers, including Dan Bilzerian, Sneako, and Hannah Pearl Davis, who transitioned from lifestyle content to promoting Holocaust denial and Jewish conspiracy theories.
The findings demonstrate how digital platforms facilitate the synthesis of different forms of prejudice, creating technological pathways for antisemitic recruitment within communities organized around masculine grievances. This reveals antisemitism’s function as an adaptive ideological framework that preserves its core elements while adapting to contemporary digital environments.
