But this is the lowest that they've ever gone.

How much of what they say though do they actually believe and isn't just following the same trend of saying certain things for shock value. Being shameless is practically free at this point with where we are now and the downsides to that are almost non-existent, so it's obviously profitable to keep playing that card. At least in part, I can see that the "logic" used is something spun up to appeal to their demographics who treat mishandling controversial topics like it's the Olympics version of "being real".

It's the same to me when people are attacking others for not following their correct moral position with them (with every new, new thing that comes up), but they go about it the most malicious way but using hysterical logic to broadcast their own virtue. That's not different, imo, because it's being based upon the importance of looking a certain way to the overall crowd and I tend to think those people are the most fakest of all.

So while I clearly think at least some (especially in the youth) are parroting these views because it's trendy... Unfortunately, it falls into the same trap where attacks on Jews or general anti-Semitism have always often been filed under the umbrella of saying things for attention and shock value (as in the 90s as the internet grew). So people have gotten used to hearing that out in the wild without thinking much of it and so then it means actual malice is treated as people joking around and being non-serious and immature. Eventually that pattern will have to be stopped.

I don't think that Livia is wrong to say violent incidents will increase, because as bad as October 7th was, it hasn't done much to reverse that trend. But then there still is and are a lot of people that didn't think Anti-Semitic views still had this much traction within our own borders.
