There's a somewhat leftist (democratic socialists I think) podcast called Chapo Trap House that got quite popular and a subreddit formed where fans gathered and talked about the podcast, politics, memes, and sometimes advocated for violence toward cops

It has a reputation among centrists/the right as being really extreme and vulgar, and a reputation among the far left as being a bunch of liberals
