So that's why someone has blacked over the last 8.
I disagree that it's well know, and that the inference would be an antisemitic global financiers trope - surely it's just emphasising the trolling nature of that r/.
Will think on it and make a call later - unless people genuinely find it offensive and hurtful?

The numbers 1488 is a fairly well known neo-nazi reference. Sure, the simplest interpretation is that the joke is about the r/wallstreetbets 'owning' the wall street guys. (Gordon Gekko). There are tons of those memes doing the rounds at the moment.
But with the 1488 reference thrown in, it can also be about 4Chan users putting the 'squeeze' on a certain ethnic group allegedly controlling the world's financial system.
Either way, just replace it with any other Gamestop meme and I'll remove this post.
