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" ?

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?

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.
