I found it! The most “I don’t want my taxes to help poor people” take on the internet:

"Wealthier residents would find another way to get around, but poor New Yorkers who depend on the bus would suffer the most." wapo.st/42EDG5j

Opinion | Zohran Mamdani’s grand promises are a struggle bus

New York’s working people who depend on transit have the most to lose if the socialist gets his way.

Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now

For fuck's sake, people. If a site has a specific feature but it's run by Nazis, then how fucking important is that feature to you that you would rather support a Nazi site?
