Screenshots from the old /r/Neoliberal slack
I'm not even going to OCR this because it's so disgusting, but it has everything from edgelord antisemitism, anti-Arab racism, celebrating drone strikes...

Screenshots from the old /r/Neoliberal slack I'm not even going to OCR this because it's so disgusting, but it has everything from edgelord antisemitism, anti-Arab racism, celebrating drone strikes...

Early /r/neoliberal mods were indistinguishable from denizens of 4chan's /pol/

Scroll up. Jules admitted her mod team has antisemitic messages that have been leaked.

Package theft is a major financial problem for Amazon and the solution it devised was to help engineer a surveillance state by attaching a microphone & camera to every home in America and grant police unfettered access.

One of the tactics Amazon has deployed in the past is offering police free devices and tools in exchange for signing contractsβ€”likely unlawfulβ€”that prohibit authorities from saying negative things about Amazon.

What "people" should I be accused of being part of for lodging my complaint? Do you saying that Jules is justified at accusing me of being part of a group of whistleblowers for their racist mod team Slack?

02.08.2025 18:24 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

my bad, it was their Reddit moderation team's private Slack where their moderators were outed as antisemites and racial slur slingers

Not a contrast, just Jules doing PR, I asked about getting banned over I/P, and Jules immediately accuses me of being a whistleblower over their mod team's antisemitic comments. Nothing but gaslighting from them.

You're a mod that engages in the same kind of gaslighting as the rest of the moderation team

the mod saying he would unban the pedocon theory posters immediately started gaslighting me when I asked about I/P, they know of nothing but motte/bailey arguments

r slash neoliberal mod team playbook:
1. user complains about an injustice
2. be condescending and accuse user of non-sequitur "crimes" (whistleblowing) against the mod team
3. when user get mad, accuse them of incivility/bad faith

Sorry, but you were the first to be rude by accusing me of being part of a group that leaked your slack. You don't get to play the "you're not being civil" card. What kind of "moderation" team decides to escalate immediately?

What kind of charitable reading am I supposed to give you when you immediately do a non-sequitur of accusing me of being part of a group that haunted the mod team that I have no relation to? It's like me asking if you hung out with Jeff Epstein because Bill Clinton (a neoliberal) also did.

When I identify myself as a member of an ethnic group, and someone responses with tantamount to "you people" it's generally considered offensive, and I have a right to be angry. You mistake calmness and civility.

You were implying that it's either contradictory to accuse the mod team of both Zionism and antisemitism, or that you have critics from "both sides". Also implying that I'm part of a group ("the people", and "the ones"). Not calling you an Antisemite, just saying you're dismissive of Jewish concerns

Antisemites and Zionists often are one and the same (see: John Hagee). And I didn't leak shit. I don't know what buzzwords you're talking about other than "goysplain", when non-Jews condescendingly explain antisemitism or other Jewish issues to Jews, which you seem to be doing now.

Yeah, their discord mods were also outed as having made racist and antisemitic comments a while back.

They're edgy and naive econ and polisci undergrads who get off on their proud contrarianism, defense of institutions, and enlightened centrism

Will you also unban me and my Jewish friends who were permanently banned for arguing that the alleged antisemitism of Mamdani/Corbyn should not be equated with the very loud and explicit antisemitism from the right? Or will you continue to be goysplain antisemitism to Jews?

Holstein Pool

You can keep swimming there throughout the entirety of August despite what Daniel thinks or says. He failed to notice there are two schedules posted:

Shout it from the rooftops! Investing in transit agency capacity rather than outsourcing so much of their work to consultants SAVES MONEY.

The market is working, but the "best results" to them have nothing to do with electoral results, and have everything to do with how much campaign cash they raise and how much dark money flows through them. They're often paid to lose, by the same sources that fund Republicans.

Lack of outbound link suppression means that Bluesky, despite a much smaller user base than most socials, is far more valuable to its users.

Ad tech socials try to get a cut on everything with an enclosure movement of walled gardens, but they cannot offer the diversity of media of the open web.

It's a nothing thing. Holstein Park Pool closes the 31st. Plenty of life guards to hire. Daniel Knowles doesn't like being corrected and blocked me for this minor infraction.
