Actually this thread in general is a pretty interesting one, people really calling the sub on their BS
Leftists burned immense amounts of political capital in 2020
That’s not what political capital means.
Also, he talks about leftists retconning, but the only retconning about massive and hugely popular protests was people pretending after the fact there wasn’t massive support behind them.
Do they think everything is twitter? Leftists have no public presence in America whatsoever. The only thing I can think is these people are talking specifically about the 2020 Sanders coalition or anyone they think might belong to it. They’re either electoral brained or twitter brained or some unholy combination of both
Holy fuck every single comment has at least one fucking annoying automod response under it.
Is this what they think is funny say leftist and get an automatic message telling them leftists are morally bankrupt?
Do they realize they have the same politics as a small child with a sit and spin?
TBF the Deprogram sub also has that. So less a political ideology thing and more a “literal children trying to discuss politics” thing
The Deprogram ones I kinda get, the idea is if a lib wanders in the bots slam them with info dumps that are mean to dismiss their tired ass talking points. It gets annoying when we have to type out the same 6 or 7 responses to the same 6 or 7 easily debunkable Lib arguments, sometimes I almost wish HexBear had that feature. They’re actual counter arguments not just quippy responses like the neolib ones.
Issue is they get triggered too damn easily and end up clogging up the comments. I feel like it would be better if only Mods could deploy them and did so only once or twice per thread. Or maybe that wouldn’t work either and we’re just better off without it then.
They’re trying to use automod the same way left subs do to promote a party line. They don’t like the word leftist, the subreddit itself is pulled leftwards of the “neoliberal” politics (thatcherism/reaganism) its team wishes to promote.

a not insignificant fraction of /r/neoliberal posters feel like keynesians/social democrats using liberal rhetoric.
Yes definitely. The modteam have coasted on the “liberal” confusion and aim to suck in softer libs then pull them right. It’s the same as we do with building pipelines and catching spaces, except they’re shit at it and don’t do nearly enough purging or party line pushing. A problem they have of course is that reality does not conform to the party line they would want to push, so they would open themselves to criticism and ridicule by pushing it followed by having to do mass purges.
Reality does conform to what we push, we typically have to purge for the most inane anticommunist genocide gorillionzillion people reactionary shit ever, which is obviously quite a different problem. Generally we do a very good job of education because we have nothing to fear in doing it.
If they aren’t constantly told that they are morally superior to all others, they start to question why everything is rotting away under neoliberalism.
They have an automod claiming “Leftists are morally bankrupt”
Who’s policies exactly balance a spreadsheet of starving child vs unstarving children?
I can’t even use reddit anymore lol
This is the link right? https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/s/BIiJCd0X20
using the reddit.com/r/whatever/s/blahblahblah
share link (or any “reddit.com” url) just blocks you these days if you’re not logged in and using a VPN ip address. Mobile app “features” are intended to datamine as much as possible so if they can’t datamine you, you just get blocked. People should use an alternate front end or, if you’re logged in, use old.reddit.com and grab the url from the address bar instead of the reddit mobile app (which is garbage and datamines you and whoever clicks your share links). I would switch the url over to “old.reddit.com” but it’s not working for me like it usually does because the link is some kind of generated share link instead of the usual thread url that you grab straight from the address bar.
Unless that’s the joke or something and I just didn’t get it. Anyway, they’re an astroturfed fossil fuel think tank subreddit so if they have broken clock syndrome I’m not too impressed. What does the thread say? What’s it about?

Wow, they truly are beyond parody.
Real “automated loudspeaker echoing simple conditioning phrases all day throughout the dystopian city” vibe from this automod
I love that they call leftists “morally bankrupt” while their automod advertises that you can have your own custom automod response added if you donate to their charity. It’s open moral bankruptcy on display while claiming their enemies are morally bankrupt.
you can have your own custom automod response added if you donate to their charity
Lol. What are the odds that the automod would let any leftist or critical messaging through?
