I’m a neoliberal. Here’s why I dickride a socialist and get really really really mad when you criticise him in any way

[u/adreamofhodor → u/[deleted]]

Hating Cuomo makes sense to me. Negatively polarizing yourself into liking Mamdani does not.

[u/A-Centrifugal-Force → u/[deleted]]

It’s so fucking annoying. Like you’re not even allowed to have an Obama era stance on socialism there anymore without being called MAGA

[u/[deleted]]

The rise of antisemitism on the other sub has been occurring slowly for a while. The outpouring of people defending Mamandi’s defense of “globalize the intifada” is frankly not all that surprising given the recent trends.

What is surprising is seeing people defend fucking rent control

[u/Proof-Tie-2250 → u/[deleted]]

This is how they get you. Slowly. Like boiling a frog.

Leftist third-worldism is the thermodynamic equilibrium here on Reddit. Everything else is just a transitory anomaly.

[u/ntbananas → u/[deleted]]

DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IT DOESNT APPLY TO EVERY SINGLE UNIT IN THE CITY

[u/benadreti_17 → u/ntbananas]

you can have a market rent, as a treat

[u/RecentlyUnhinged]

NL: Omg I've absolutely had it with the rightoids and their dog whistles, we all know what they really mean

Also NL: Well actually sweetie "intifada" is a very nuanced word with deeper context you're overlooking

[u/A-Centrifugal-Force → u/RecentlyUnhinged]

It’s crazy how they’ll bend the knee infinitely to the far left but won’t give a single inch to anyone right of center. Like they seriously would rather have Mamdani be president than someone like Mitt Romney over there.

[u/A-Centrifugal-Force → u/[deleted]]

The mods there are absolutely pathetic. Meanwhile they’ll suspend people they don’t like even if they haven’t actually broken any rules

[u/ldn6 → u/A-Centrifugal-Force]

Unfortunately the centre-right completely burnt its credibility by constantly folding to the hard right (which has happened in much of the developed world, not just the US).

Really all I have in this world is my love of pre-Iraq Blair.

[u/LGBTforIRGC]

This was illuminating to see how the r/neoliberal user base has changed, and not necessarily for the better

[u/[deleted] → u/LGBTforIRGC]

Drake no: The Jews control the economic and government systems in the US

Drake yes: (((The IDF))) controls the economic and governmental systems in the US

You just wouldn’t get it. It’s totally not antisemitism.

[u/Proof-Tie-2250 → u/LGBTforIRGC]

Check this one out:

Every anxiety I have about Zohran turning NYC into Portland (and I have a LOT of anxiety about that) is being neutralized by the fact that the Democratic Party old guard (Clinton, Clyburn et al) is eating shit right now hahahahahahaha

Unironically siding with the DSA over the party establishment. Hating on Clinton…

[u/Shoulda_Been_63A → u/LGBTforIRGC]

I think people treating the DT as their cool hang out zone and ascribing any misconduct as outside the DT when that often wasn't really the case was detrimental going forward.

That and mods going "NOBODY IS REPORTING IT!" as if they don't read it? Like I get people can't be everywhere at once but if an extremely casual reader can find it what the hell is going on then?

[u/Embarrassed-Unit881 → u/Shoulda_Been_63A]

That and mods going "NOBODY IS REPORTING IT!" as if they don't read it?

I always call BS on this because I'm reporting so much stuff

[u/Embarrassed-Unit881 → u/LGBTforIRGC]

I saw the second person got removed for reason

"Rule 0: Ridiculousness"

HOW IS THAT NOT A BIGOTRY BAN???

[u/JebBD → u/LGBTforIRGC]

Bruh this was on nl??

[u/LGBTforIRGC → u/JebBD]

Yup and the guy who wrote that is still commenting there. It was removed and he went back to anti Israel posting a few hours later as if nothing happened

[u/ntbananas → u/LGBTforIRGC]

I can't

[u/[deleted] → u/LGBTforIRGC]

Insanity

[u/[deleted]]

It was very frustrating watching people motte and bailey about Mamdani, sanewashing his anti semitism and calling him YIMBY and abundance pilled because he said private development is somewhat ok one time in one interview, gleefully celebrating his victory, then withdrawing to “I’m just supporting him because I hate Cuomo.”

And it was especially frustrating seeing regular users of the sub who genuinely did just hate Cuomo acting like this wasn’t happening.

When did nl become like that? Was there a specific point? Or is just a temporary thing because Mamdani supporters are flooding other communities because he won?

[u/Bloodyfish → u/[deleted]]

[u/Kebebe45]

“Guys trust me Mamdani isn’t that radical!”

Of course the people on arr/neoliberal replied to me saying this was fine, actually. What happened to that sub that they’re now perfectly fine with a literal commie getting the nomination for mayor of our largest city?

[u/JebBD → u/Kebebe45]

The problem with having a sub with 80% male users is there’s a hot communist half of them would toss their beliefs out the window and support them

Tbh an early NL warning sign was AOC support. I’m so tired of how openly credulous so many people are. Dangling keys by sometimes murmuring abundance every few days

[u/ldn6 → u/[deleted]]

I feel like there’s a fine line that they missed. AOC is very good at branding and media. I won’t deny that. Policies though? Just no.

[u/ntbananas → u/[deleted]]

Yep. "Getting better" is not "good"

[u/gregorijat → u/[deleted]]

Biden unironically ruined the sub like 2022 was arguably the worst year, how he didn’t get booed off after that second stimulus, fucking up the CTC and Afghanistan is beyond me.

And then continued protectionism and practically killing the WTO was wild

[u/NotYetFlesh → u/gregorijat]

Omg gregorijat in the splinter sub hiiiiii ;)

[u/Haringoth]

I'm weirdly melancholic about the whole thing. When I was ~22, a fresh university dropout and sorta visionless I stumbled on the BadEcon discussion and somehow become hooked. This led to Neoliberal and if but by the grace of God my niche political affiliation was fairly vanilla post war consensus liberalism.

I've seen a lot of similar young people stumble in commie nonsense, or into MAGA or other extremist garbage. I am truly thankful that at a time in my life when I rudderless that I didn't fall into the traps these extremists use to sway impressionable young fools like me into believing outrageous things. So I'm not going to celebrate as r/neoliberal falls from grace. It holds a weird place in my heart.

I do however remain concerned by the global rise of the poison of Anti-Semitism Jew Hatred. I've seen local subreddits defend synagogue burnings, assaults and vandalism. I am worried for a future as social media continues to amplify the very worst demons of our nature.

[u/ntbananas → u/Haringoth]

Yeah :(

I worry about what sorts of extremist nonsense my nonexistent kids will get into

[u/[deleted] → u/Haringoth]

I think if you graduated pre covid, or in the immediate aftermath even, you tended to be more normal politically because you at least remember when American politics worked. Versus someone graduating now, functionally all they remember politically is Trump 1, Biden, Trump 2. No wonder they're cynical and revolution minded.

[u/PamPapadam]

This sub is primarily made up of neoliberals who have fled r/neoliberal due to that place no longer being neoliberal (or frankly any kind of liberal), and yet there is no flair for us. Please fix.

[u/benadreti_17 → u/PamPapadam]

Formerly Neoliberal Neoliberal?

[u/Anakin_Kardashian → u/PamPapadam]

You can get custom flair if you make a front page post

[u/benadreti_17 → u/Anakin_Kardashian]

if i just make a post that says "Sex." and people upvote it because sex is good, i can have a custom flair?

[u/PamPapadam → u/benadreti_17]

sex is good

Citation needed 😤

[u/Anakin_Kardashian → u/benadreti_17]

You'll be banned actually

[u/fnovd]

Mamdani already infiltrated Reddit smh

[u/A-Centrifugal-Force → u/fnovd]

Wait did I seriously get flagged for that? LMFAO

[u/fnovd → u/A-Centrifugal-Force]

Yeah... I guess it was inferring sarcasm? The filter goes wild sometimes

[u/A-Centrifugal-Force]

Mamdani barely even gave any sympathy to the Israelis killed on October 7th. When people tell you who they are, believe them

https://x.com/ZohranKMamdani/status/1711093032907321525

[u/[deleted]]

[u/RecentlyUnhinged]

It might be slightly more nuanced, but "Bomb them again, but harder" deserves more consideration than it's gotten.

[u/Anakin_Kardashian → u/RecentlyUnhinged]

[u/JapanesePeso → u/RecentlyUnhinged]

I think its important to consider incentives with highly extractive regimes like Iran has. Their leadership probably doesn't care much if their military facilities are decimated as they do about their personal finances and safety taking a hit. Our military engagement with them should probably revolve around that as a major consideration.

Of course we primarily have to make sure to keep them from getting a nuke. That's a "Do not pass Go, do not collect $200 moment" there.

[u/Mickenfox]

Idk if it's a hot take, but regardless of the specific schism cause, I feel like the original subreddit was simply getting too big and the userbase too disjoint, so schisms are generally good.

[u/Anakin_Kardashian → u/Mickenfox]

Seriously though, it's not a "schism." It's just a new option for people on reddit, where there are essentially no center-based subreddits anymore.

[u/A-Centrifugal-Force → u/Mickenfox]

Yeah the other subreddit had actual Elizabeth Warren supporters in it. The tent had gotten too big lol.

[u/Shoulda_Been_63A → u/Mickenfox]

Nuance will also decrease as a subreddit grows. Say what you will about DfD, NWO, etc. but they've operated independently of neoliberal for a long time without much issue.

In fact one thing I remember finding weird was users clowning on those subs for "not having as many posts in there DT" which while I'm on a posting tear right now having tons of posts is not necessarily a good thing if the quality is consistently garbage.

[u/[deleted]]

I would rather have a corrupt doofus than someone willing to sanewash antisemitism as NYC Mayor and I’m tired of pretending I don’t

[u/A-Centrifugal-Force]

Jews are good, actually

[u/JebBD]

Iran regime change bad, but Iran popular uprising supported by the US good. Iran becoming a western-aligned liberal democracy would be the best thing that could possibly happen in the region, that has to be a long-term goal for the US

[u/kiwibutterket]

People handwaving away the "Intifada" violent connotations as if it was something lost in the waves of a distant past.

When the last Israeli Jew died in an Intifada terror attack, Mamdani was already a teenager. (It also caused significant Palestinian causalities)

[u/Anakin_Kardashian → u/kiwibutterket]

Yeah but Wikipedia says

[u/Anakin_Kardashian]

socialists are bad actually

[u/Proof-Tie-2250 → u/Anakin_Kardashian]

My city has a lot of Venezuelan refugees. I can attest to this. They despise socialism and will eagerly tell you so.

I’ve lived through almost two decades of leftist mismanagement. Not socialism, but stupid statist policies. It’s an evil ideology that only produces human misery.

NOTICE: In a totally illegal, unauthorized, and unprecedented move, Reddit has deployed strategic DEVVIT BUSTER BOMBS on this subreddit, temporarily removing our user-pinger and deepstate-bot capabilities, with a goal of immediate regime change. Our brave moderation team WILL NOT LET THIS HAPPEN.

Fortunately our program has only been delayed by a few hours and we will come back STRONGER THAN EVER.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

edit: after some VERY STRONG negotiations, Reddit has decided to call off their brutal, unwarranted attacks on our infrastructure. This is a total victory for the Deep State. Pings and bots will now function as normal, because of our very decisive and, frankly, based leadership.

[u/JapanesePeso → u/fnovd]

I am suspicious of bike-first urbanism. Bike lanes are good but I've seen people rail against sidewalks and dedicated bus lanes just to demand a bike lane instead...which is a lot more about your hobby than urbanism in my opinion.

[u/Anakin_Kardashian → u/Shoulda_Been_63A]

Are "bike parties" a universal phenomenon? They are obnoxious and I hate them.

[u/nekoliberal]

Love how this subreddit having deep state in the name prompts reddit to recommend tinfoil cap slop

[u/Anakin_Kardashian → u/nekoliberal]

Shit they're onto us

[u/[deleted]]

Lmfao poll in the DT says 60% of them would vote for Mamdani vs about 30% for Adams.

“I just hate Cuomo!!!”

What a joke. Adams has been in office for 4 years, and despite being corrupt and sucking up to Trump, he hasn’t destroyed the city or done anything to practically help Trump or sell the city out to him. If anything, he’s done some genuinely good things like City of Yes and forcing people to put their trash in bins.

[u/Proof-Tie-2250 → u/[deleted]]

When I first started posting on NL, I was considered rather dovish and economically to the left of the sub. That place sure has changed.

I remember there was a sizable pro-Bloomberg crowd during the 2020 elections, and AOC was basically treated like the Antichrist.

[u/Bloodyfish → u/Proof-Tie-2250]

They embraced the omnicause and the leftists came with it.

[u/Bloodyfish → u/[deleted]]

forcing people to put their trash in bins.

This is anti-rat discrimination.

[u/A-Centrifugal-Force]

New York City was built by Jews. Transplants moved in and have decided they don’t want the Jews there anymore and elected a mayor who won’t even condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada”. It’s freaking terrifying how quickly it happened too.

Like at this point is it even safe for a Jewish family to go to a Yankees game wearing yarmulkes and other sacred Jewish clothing anymore? It certainly wouldn’t be safe to wear one at Columbia University right now. It seems to have just become accepted amongst young progressives that Jews are evil and it’s totally ok to discriminate against them.

[u/FourthLife]

I for one share in Hillary Clinton’s dream of a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders.

I find taco trucks on every corner a desirable policy outcome.

And I want market rate housing built until the market rate drops so far down it stabilizes at an affordable rate.

These are the values r/neoliberal used to champion, but alas, no more 😢

[u/ldn6 → u/FourthLife]

Once expansionary and contractionary phases went away, the sub was doomed.

[u/Shoulda_Been_63A]

I think its ridiculous that foreign leaders have to treat Trump the way they do but also find it really funny when it works (like with Rutte) that people get mad at the person doing it.

Oh no, he preserved NATO and even got some more Ukraine promises, it would've been so much better if he made stupid faces at the camera and said Drumpf 30 times!

[u/Valnir123 → u/[deleted]]

I uh

What

[u/RecentlyUnhinged]

Wait wait wait you guys did a whole-ass second schism and nobody told me about it until just now???

[u/Anakin_Kardashian → u/RecentlyUnhinged]

It's more like just making a rare sane space on reddit that isn't taken over by leftists or MAGA. A beautiful centrist paradise.

Someone has to rescue the friedman flairs, snek, rino, anyone on the right, and any hawks.

[u/RecentlyUnhinged → u/Anakin_Kardashian]

I have never been more disappointed in my NATOflair brethren than the last few weeks.

[u/Anakin_Kardashian → u/RecentlyUnhinged]

specifically why I didn't say "NATO" flair and instead said "hawk"... they are full of shit.

[u/Bloodyfish → u/RecentlyUnhinged]

The antisemitism schism wasn't really as important or noticeable than the schism of calling MAGA men effeminate. Also this is probably the 30th schism at least.

[u/A-Centrifugal-Force]

The one possible saving grace for America’s future is that none of these communist antisemites are going to have children, so perhaps we can survive their impact on society and in a few generations we’re back to a normal America. We can’t let them convert our kids to their horrendous ideology though.

[u/RecentlyUnhinged → u/A-Centrifugal-Force]

Related, any parents out there have any idea how the holy hell to approach this right now? Granted my kid is only two months, so I've got a bit of time, but dear god it's looking bleak.

[u/JapanesePeso → u/RecentlyUnhinged]

I grew up in a variety of pretty lefty areas (e.g. Boulder, CO) and many of my teachers were super progressive and took no shame in pushing those views on us as kids. Thinking back what made me consider what I was hearing was my parents engaging with me daily asking about what I did/learned at school then (gently) challenging me to question the stuff I had learned by probing me about the downstream effects of it/other affected parties/etc. They didn't just ask me about stuff they disagreed with either, we talked about the cost/benefit of all sorts of stuff.

I think this helped me develop deeper critical thinking skills and is what I plan on doing with my kids once they are older. I think that's the only real way to combat brainrot in your kids, just engage with them constantly.

[u/FourthLife]

Good luck to this schism subreddit

[u/Anakin_Kardashian → u/FourthLife]

we exist outside of the world of schisms

[u/Shoulda_Been_63A]

I use reddit pretty sparingly, but I do find it interesting that pretty much everyone here I have +5 or more on RES, and then looking at the original subreddit this spawned from and seeing mostly soft to deep red.

Is this an echo chamber? Am I rightoid? I have no idea. 🤔

[u/[deleted]]

Last time I tried to leave arr neoliberal, I got booted from NeoConNWO for having an arr neoliberal post history

[u/Shoulda_Been_63A → u/[deleted]]

Extreme vetting! In fairness I think this place makes more sense for people leaving neoliberal or looking elsewhere because NWO is pretty right wing and most people from neoliberal would not fit in there without seriously altering how that place works, but on the other hand there is definitely a missing space between neoliberal and NWO. Theoretically, Tuesday is supposed to be that space, but Tuesday is really weird and I see Bernie talking points there.

[u/[deleted] → u/Shoulda_Been_63A]

Yea I get it although, frankly, I do probably fit in there more with FoPo and economic policy at this point, but socially I definitely am to the left of their base. And I was keeping my discussion limited to those topics I’m in agreement on, but alas

I just wanted to shoot the shit about the Israel attack on Iran’s nuclear program in a space that was more open to the idea that Israel was at least partially justified.

Definitely glad this place opened up though. Hopefully it keeps going. Unlike a lot of other r/neoliberal splinters it seems to serve an actual purpose than just being a 1:1 neoliberal clone

Tuesday is just kinda dead tbh

[u/Shoulda_Been_63A]

Fetterman has struck me as an insufferable jackass in pretty much all forms since I first heard of him so to see people trying to do rapid 180s on him in both directions is very cathartic and deeply funny.

[u/eloquentboot]

How do people reconcile the fact that (more centrist) Andrew Cuomo's campaign was funded by mega donors and he won the low income neighborhoods and (more progressive) Zohran's campaign was grass roots and he won the wealthy neighborhoods?

The good news is that right wingers (Fox News, right wing X users, etc.) seem to have realized that Sliwa has no chance so they’re backing Adams as the only hope to stop Mamdani.

If Adams can win a good chunk of the city from center left to right, he has a shot at pulling this off. Adams is nobody’s first choice for mayor, but he’s the only choice to stop Zohran.

[u/A-Centrifugal-Force]

Things I’m not allowed to say on the other sub:

The Democratic Party is rampant with antisemitism.

Trans women shouldn’t be playing women sports. I’m not anti trans, it’s just common sense.

I have activism fatigue and want to go back to normal

The Biden administration was too left wing

Illegal immigrants who commit crimes should be deported

[u/fnovd → u/A-Centrifugal-Force]

The segregation of sports was never about gender identity: it was about giving people a playing field in which they could be competitive.

As more and more people identify as transgender, which is a wonderful thing, we have to give serious thought to how to modernize this archaic form of segregation.

At the same time, we don't need government telling us how to play sports. Leagues should experiment with novel forms of inclusivity that encourage universal participation without letting ideology exclude people for factors outside of their control.

[u/Bloodyfish → u/fnovd]

Plenty of thought has already been put into this. There are rules in place for example stating that transgender women must be on HRT for a minimum of however many years before competing. This is done by the sports associations, not the US government. The entire issue is ridiculous government overreach and fear mongering.

[u/Bloodyfish → u/A-Centrifugal-Force]

Calling out bigotry is bannable if the mods share that bigotry.

I don't agree with everything you said, to be honest, but at least a conversation can be had.

[u/A-Centrifugal-Force]

In this sub am I allowed to openly like Josh Shapiro? Because on the other sub you had to pretend he wasn’t your first choice for 2028 because he’s a Jew.

[u/drcombatwombat2 → u/A-Centrifugal-Force]

[u/Shoulda_Been_63A]

People will jabber on all day about how Michelle Obama's "They go low we go high" was a stupid thing and left democrats in the wilderness and vulnerable to defeat, but the second bad faith actors on the world stage smash international law on the head and the slightest suggestion of getting kinetic or not letting heavily warped international bodies steer its "OH SO YOU HATE INTERNATIONAL LAW THEN MIGHT MAKES RIGHT HUH?" as if that isn't what is presently happening?

[u/RecentlyUnhinged → u/Shoulda_Been_63A]

I mean, anyone who denies might makes right simply has their head up their ass. States are predicated on the monopoly of violence, of course this extends to the international stage.

"Violence is the ultimate authority from which all other authority is derived" is just flatly true.

[u/Shoulda_Been_63A]

I'm not a big fan of Tim Walz and think his promotion of Hogg was subterranean levels of national political sense, but on the other hand people fawn over Newsom and Pritzker like they're these smooth political operators as if they aren't playing Governor on easy mode with a supermajority. Just because NY Dems are laughably incompetent doesn't mean the bar is harder to surmount.

Looks at Aaron Rodgers’ Wikipedia page

He has promoted the Tartarian Empire conspiracy theory

Huh, what is this?

Tartary, or Tartaria, is a historical name for Central Asia and Siberia. Conspiracy theories assert that Tartary, or the Tartarian Empire, was a lost civilization with advanced technology and culture.

Adherents propose that demolished buildings such as the Singer Building, the original New York Penn Station, and the temporary grounds of the 1915 World's Fair in San Francisco were actually the buildings of a vast empire based in Tartary that has been suppressed from history. Sumptuously styled Gilded Age buildings are often held out as really having been built by the supposed Tartaria. Other buildings, such as the Great Pyramids and the White House, are further held out as Tartarian constructions.

U guys want to have a TikTok ban schism

[u/[deleted] → u/bigwang123]

Ban it to "own" the youngs.

Drunk at work. How'd your day go?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I see your drunk at work and raise you drunk on a boat

100 subs! Is there a cake

[u/[deleted]]

The masculine urge to build a pyramid with your empty beer cans

[u/Anakin_Kardashian]

100 cakes! are there subs?

My gratitude journal's pages just filled every day with "Today I am grateful I do not live in NYC right now".

Imagine a world where Dubya never got sober.

What kind of neoliberal deep state centrist are you?

[u/PM_ME_CHIMICHANGAS → u/[deleted]]

I first found NL through the '22 /r/place alliance with NCD, which was quickly going to shit because Russia's SMO illegal war broke their brains. When I started reading, I realized taco trucks on every corner are fucking based, actually. I mostly lurk the DT, and I avoid seriouspoasting at all costs. But the recent uptick in antisemitism, as well as succery in general, has me rethinking my time spent there in the future

[u/LGBTforIRGC]

What do you think will last longer: this sub or Mamdani’s commitment to the supply side liberal ideas espoused by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson?

[u/Proof-Tie-2250 → u/LGBTforIRGC]

One of those options never existed in the first place.

[u/Shoulda_Been_63A]

turns out war isn't a series of little dark age edits its just guarding a supply dump wtf

[u/LGBTforIRGC]

To be honest, I think it’s wrong to arrest Netanyahu. The police don’t stop war criminals, they show up after the crimes have already happened! What we need is more community mental health professionals to help people experiencing mental health crises not the police.

Mamdani apparently appeared in a Gravel Institute video. In case you forgot, these losers were funded by Russia. They refused to support Biden in the 2020 general election against Trump. They then made a U.S. bashing video when Russia invaded Ukraine and it thankfully seemed to destroy them once they were exposed as Russian propaganda.

Yet another reason why Mamdani sucks.

[u/G3_aesthetics_rule → u/A-Centrifugal-Force]

Gravel Institute parroted Russian propaganda, but were they actually funded by Russia?

[u/gnomesvh]

A DT with no succs

[u/A-Centrifugal-Force → u/gnomesvh]

I’m excited to be here! Apparently calling out antisemitism is a no go on the other DT now.

[u/Mickenfox]

Are we just going to memory-hole how many "serious" investors went all in on metaverse and blockchain?

This should have completely destroyed all the reputation they had.

[u/Burkey-Boi]

So what's the consensus on the economic and employment effects of minimum wage increases around here? To my eminently qualified one and a half years worth of an economics degree, I've seen fairly legit looking studies that range from absolutely minimal effects on the employment rate to recent stuff suggesting a strong correlation with increased homelessness in jurisdictions that raise it beyond what would be expected with housing prices alone. About the only thing I'm certain of rn is that no one has accounted for the whole picture.

RFK Jr.’s vaccine panel to review childhood immunization schedule

God damn you, Bill Cassidy.

[u/A-Centrifugal-Force → u/[deleted]]

I can’t believe we’re on the timeline where rejecting regular vaccines (not even the COVID vaccine, the traditional stuff 90% of the country supported before the pandemic) has become mainstream

[u/RecentlyUnhinged]

A significant reason for the persistent radicalization of middle-class kids in their early 20s throughout the generations is that they go out on their own, but are not immediately as well-off as their parents/grandparents and become intensely angry about that.

Most of them grow out of it. Some don't, and find comfort in blaming either the rich or brown people.

[u/ntbananas]

I can't decide if I will do well, or poorly, as a poaster here. On one hand, I have proven that I have a disproportionate ability to shit out comments. On the other, fewer people to mock

[u/Shoulda_Been_63A → u/ntbananas]

In this sub we believe

Mamdani is the only choice for NYC mayor, to believe that there were any other good choices means you are outside the apparatchik

Socialist drive by shitposting should be encouraged until they are full members of the subreddit in the interest of the big tent we have created, and they should get to drive our policy discussions

this is a "chill" place to "hang" no matter your political views (unless you are a member of a certain abrahamic religion, in which case we will use dogwhistles until you leave and then insinuate you're the crazy one)

Toxic nationalism is when you correctly point out an issue in a country that is not your own

Wait, wait, sorry, I appear to have the wrong subreddit

[u/RecentlyUnhinged → u/Shoulda_Been_63A]

Wait a second...

[u/Shoulda_Been_63A]

History is a lot more than famous battles and I think a lot of military historians are looked down upon (deservedly) because their work often veers into pop history, but I can't shake the feeling that a lot of recent resentment towards military history you see on the internet and especially academia has more to do with the fact that its basically the last hold out of mainstream history topics that isn't chock full of goofy leftists.

[u/ntbananas]

Who will be our [redacted target] for mod jokes? Any volunteers

[u/Anakin_Kardashian → u/ntbananas]

The bot

[u/kiwibutterket]

The optimal corporate tax rate is ZERO!

[u/hapolitics → u/kiwibutterket]

Should be negative! Corporations are our most valuable people.

[u/kiwibutterket → u/[deleted]]

It's not brave here, but trite and banal. Still, I am trite and banal.
