Actually this thread in general is a pretty interesting one, people really calling the sub on their BS
holy fuck, even if that wasnt a neolib sub itd be insufferable with that automod shit.
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.

Lol. What are the odds that the automod would let any leftist or critical messaging through?
the idea that no modern society has not functioned without police is absurd, plenty of European nations did not have a formalized police force until the 1900s, maybe they dont consider the 1800s ‘modern’ but i certainly do, all the formal class relations of today were cemented then. i also dont necessarily agree with a complete abolition of the idea of police, but i do agree with the complete abolition of the american police. its also a little interesting how muddled this idea has become because originally america did not have a police force, they had slave patrols which morphed into the present day police force.
also i fucking hate seeing trans people on /r/neoliberal, go talk to more of our community jesus christ

Also, it is a very intentional choice to ignore non-nation-state societies. Which is no surprise. It’s part of the liberal strategy to pretend you cannot have human society without a violently oppressive institution dictating 99% of your living conditions and aiming them all toward the support and protection of capitalism.
It’s almost a tautology, in a world where capitalism is globally ubiquitous: I’m going to ignore societies that don’t have police in order to pretend that societies cannot exist without the police.
Leftists hold a significant amount of power on city councils in most of the country’s large cities.
Oakland, Portland, Denver, Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, New York, Philadelphia, Washington D.C. (bit different due to federal involvement but the mayor is far left)
Ok, I’m looking into this. Chicago’s city council has a democratic socialist caucus of 6 people out of 50. Denver seems to have had 1 socialist out of 13 up until this year, but currently has 0. Philadelphia has 2 members of the leftist Working Families Party on the council out of 17. Los Angeles has (I think) 3 DSA members on their council out of 15, and all 3 are in the Democratic party as well.
I’ve never heard of DC’s mayor but I sincerely doubt she’s some firebrand leftist.
This is considered a significant amount of power by these neoliberal goofballs. These are cities that have supermajorities of elected normal Democrats anyway.
Chicago
so not true it makes you laugh
Seattle
call me back when the Kshama Sawant clone army invades
jesus christ i hate these people
Berkeley, Oakland, and Richmond all have pretty far left city councils. Richmond in particular has a majority and the mayorship (Gayle MacLaughlin was green party mayor of Richmond a few mayors back too). Of course in the grand scheme of things it doesn’t do much but it’s really nice for those of us living here.

This checks out. Americans think a third of the country is Jewish, another third is Muslim. They think a third is indigenous. They think a fifth of the country are millionaires. Why wouldn’t they think the cities are run by communists?
okay wait wait, how rigorous are YouGov surveys though. Do they throw a random questions in the middle to check that participants aren’t just randomly clicking through asap to get the gift card/money prize?
Because if they don’t, I can totally see the participants just randomly doing shit to make it look “believable”
They think 21% of people are trans? And 27% are indigenous?
Americans can’t conceive of anything smaller than 1/5
Sorry “Bashar al Assad”, but there is nothing in your link supporting that claim other than the fact that she is a Democrat, which is the banner under which almost all politicians left of the KKK have to run under in order to have a realistic chance of winning (because you usually cannot win as a smaller party or independent). Her policies are left wing.
So you think anyone left of the KKK is “left wing” and therefore “morally bankrupt”.
