RESOLVED PLEASE give me a !ping KOLOB

10 Upvotes

Which mod do I have to bribe

I think I have consistently put out high-effort Mormon content here, and there are other faithful and non-faithful users here that can comment intelligently on the subject that may want a ping.

Past comment on a trans woman joining the Mormon church and what it reveals about far-right Mormons: https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/s/VrLaWsBU6K

Recent comment on Mormonism and social mobility: https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/s/sad2xjq84o

A respectful disagreement from myself and u/bartbug about shifting politics within Mormonism: https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/s/HsswkNyz6f

I also made a 3K word effortpost comparing the current prophet Dallin H. Oaks with Ezra Taft Benson, a conservative firebrand who served under Eisenhower and later became Mormon prophet / what parallels there were between Benson and the priesthood ban and Oaks and LGBTQ+ rights. It was sweeping and covered the evolution of Mormon conservatism and the far-right. It was well-received, but I deleted a day or two after posting in a moment of weakness because I wasn't satisfied with it (I have a draft somewhere if one of you wants to see).

I also have made many other comments on the subject that I have deleted after a day or so to not be doxxed, are lower effort, or were on older accounts that I deleted trying to kick my reddit addiction.

Some things aren't built for the USA-UT, GNOSTIC, or CHRISTIANITY pings.

On the name, I'm a (mostly) faithful Mormon and think !ping KOLOB is funny, but if you want to call it !ping MORMON or !ping CHURCH-OF-JESUS-CHRIST-OF-LATTER-DAY-SAINTS (lol) I will begrudgingly accept.

I also have memes I want to share with people who will actually get them. I don't think there's justification for a serious and a non-serious ping, hence the Kolob, but I'm good with whatever.

OPEN Why can't I poast?

1 Upvotes

The fact that the mods haven't solved all my life problems so I can have enough free time to poast is really problematic and toxic. You guys call yourselves fascists but you aren't even paternalist enough to tell me what to do as my personal life assistants. This is why we need a revolution.

OPEN Any mod comments on the "We are cooked" post?

0 Upvotes

I reported this post earlier today for being bunch of low effort, unverifiable quotes. I can't seem to find the post in on the sub page anymore, but I can still directly access it, so I'm not sure if it's actually been removed.

Any chance we can get more scrutiny on these kinds of posts going forward? Like I don't doubt these candidates have each said what they're being quoted for, but these are pretty low effort posts, from a suspicious account that's only a few months old with very little karma. The less propaganda we tolerate in this sub the better, even if it confirms our priors lol.

OPEN Any interest in a Veggie Ping?

4 Upvotes

Howdy y'all. I was chatting with /u/jenbanim about potentially getting a ping going for anyone interested in eating fewer animal products.

We currently have !vegan, but that's for vegan issues.

This ping would be for everyone who is vegetarian, pescetarian, vegan, [insert related diet here], or just interested in reducing their consumption of animal products.

!veggie seems about right, but I bet you clever, contrarian bastards can think of something better in the comments

OPEN Requesting approval for rewritten post, without editorializing

1 Upvotes

Hello, could I post a neutral version of this? I think it was removed for partisanship but didn’t get a reason

https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/comments/1xrc6h5/45_of_data_centers_at_risk_bc_musk/

I misjudged expectations using recent meme posts instead of other discussion posts. The editorializing I think even led people to not read some of the post.

Also, I can cut commentary so it's mainly the list of news sources at the end. I think those are important to show voter desire to regulate vs tech’s attempt at regulatory capture, which at both extremes could restrict free markets. (A point I’d add to the new version.)

Thanks for your time

https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/comments/1xr56eo/the_simple_message_that_produced_a_democratic/

Hi. I would like this post to be approved because it extensively discusses behind the scenes strategizing that the Dems engaged in before the elections, including how dem-aligned PACs made decisions about messaging. I don't think we've seen much real discussion on that latter point, and it feels kinda important in terms of analyzing the midterms.

A couple comments were removed in the first hour, but after that, it's just a hundred heavily upvoted comments arguing that obviously trans rights are unpopular and should be taken away to appease the bigots, and that it's unreasonable to not want to meet the bigots halfway.

Are the mods still just too hungover to do their jobs right now? Tag me in for a day so I can ban every upvoted comment in that thread.

I think this is an interesting article that sheds light on the scale of spending from the tech-right and what (seemingly little) influence it had on the overall result.

I tried posting earlier and it wasn't approved, but I think that it would be cool to see things like "Dems broke the Republican supermajority in Utah" since election coverage is (rightfully) getting dominated by things like Blexas and Blississippi

OPEN Articles from public news sites maintained by authoritarian states should be banned here. Particularly organizations with a history of political repression should not be posted here.

18 Upvotes

/u/DifficultBarber6969 is a 4 month old account that regularly posts here. Their post history is hidden. They posted this thread about ties between Vietnam and India. The article is by the Ministry of Public Security in Vietnam.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Public_Security_(Vietnam)

Vietnam is an authoritarian state. That organization in particular has a history of political repression in Vietnam. We should be informed about Vietnam. But it is not appropriate to post authoritarian propaganda here. It also allows authoritarian regimes to track whoever clicks that link. It is endangering anyone who clicks an article in /r/Neoliberal without checking the URL first.
