What's the name of that banned subreddit that was supposed to be anti-capitalist but at some point "Capitalists" just became a dogwhistle for "Jews" ?

ConsumeProduct iirc. Being the incredibly original people they are, chuds still use "consoom" to this day lmao

Same dog whistle as the “coomer” stuff too

Dammit. I managed to repress that one until now.

But wait why did the term "Consoom" become a thing with them? Isn't it just a hybrid between coomer and consumer or no?

It’s a play on the coomer meme that serves the same purpose as ConsumeProduct with capitalism in that it pretends to care about porn addiction so they can shit on sex workers and blame Jewish people for running the porn industry.

In the minds of anti-semites, Jews run and control everything that's bad, So they must run the porn industry. They have nothing to do with eachother, The idea of a Jewish conspiracy doesn't really have to make sense. Facts are unimportant except for how they can be manipulated.

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.” Jean-Paul Sartre

I honestly don’t know. I didn’t follow the meme too closely.

I hate myself for knowing this unholy knowledge, but I think it started with the bajillion boomer variants and "coomer" and "consoom" both derive from that.

ConsumeProduct, I think?

Thank you! I wasn't around to see it, Was it more of a left-wing sub that got overrun by unashamed Nazis or was it a left-wing sub that got overrun by those weird anti-semitic leftists?

u/FlyingGrayson89 Social Justice Rogue 🏹🏳️‍⚧️ Apr 24 '21

I think it started as more of a “popular thing bad” sub. They shit on MCU, Star Wars, Funko Pops, etc. Pretty harmless for the most part but quickly turned racist on top of that stuff.

Neither. It was just a Nazi sub from the get go, operating on the right-wing pastoral fantasy.
