To make anti-racists seethe? They actually believe it? Both?

Surely if I stick up for rich people on the Internet I'll eventually get a sweet job offer from them, right?

For shitposting online banter, my guess would be the majority of it is just edgy shit for the sake of being edgy, but some minor percentage either outright believes it or falls into it after years of spouting it.

No idea, it doesn't make me seethe I just start denying other parts of history and treat it like a slippery slope.

It depends?

I mean 20 years ago teenage gamers were making holocaust jokes and denials to just be edgelords and get reactions. That hasn't changed.

Now for the actual anti semites, it's to make them out to be horrible liars.

It's to downplay marginalized groups -> make the marginalized groups into villains that should receive punishment for their lies.

Their angle is mainly to say that the targets of such an event were never victimized at all, with the added bonus of suggesting they were able to pull off such a hoax because they control everything. Theyre super vile, really

It goes along with the "Jews run everything" conspiracy and basically says they made it up to drum up sympathy for themselves.

Alternatively people that admire the Nazis and fascism having cognitive dissonance that their heroes did those things and so to them it must not have happened at all.
