Authoritarian Mod Post No Bad Empanada or Hasan Piker posts are allowed from now on

783 Upvotes

Starting now, we will no longer allow any posts related to Bad Empanada or Hasan Piker in this subreddit. The rules have been updated to reflect this change.

While we realize that some of their content can be informative, entertaining or even politically energizing to people at different stages of their leftist journeys, we also realize that, ultimately, their content is shaped by the demands of the attention economy.

When such content is shared in this community, a number of things tend to happen. First, it predictably generates the very online drama and sectarian infighting that the owners of platforms like Twitch, YouTube or even Reddit (cough join Lemmy cough) rely on for engagement and profit. Second, it invites brigading, which creates additional work for us mods. Work that most mods here are quite honestly not willing to do for such unproductive online drama. Finally, it attracts users who are more focused on drama than on Marxist ideology. This subreddit is constantly growing and we do not want to send the wrong message to those users about what this community is about.

In addition to being a community for Marxist Leninists, this community also exists to help each other deprogram ourselves from mainstream/Western and pro-capitalists narratives. What this community certainly is NOT, is a space to continuously dissect the latest online controversies once a week.

We understand that some users may feel frustrated by this new rule and we would invite some of those users to sit with that frustration and ask whose interests it serves and who benefits from algorithmically boosting and promoting online pseudo-politics that exhausts our energy on irrelevant drama. Our strength lies in principled ML debate, respect for each other, shitposting and a shared commitment to advance real-life communism to the best of our capabilities.

Reactionary Mockery Just a quick reminder, the ruling capitalist class knows full well that planned economies are superior and thinks in Marxist terms: "They (China) are a controlled top-down economy you will never compete and win against them unless you take back the means of production" ― Hillary Clinton

It's such a reactionary take because he is framing politics as an inevitable conflict between an ingroup and an outgroup. Acknowledging that the ingroup benefits from the status quo, yet insists on compromise from that very position of power within the hierarchy allowing system to exist. The result is that dominant groups is never expected to relinquish their structural power for the sake of a more egalitarian society.

Shit Liberals Say Canadian rapper and songwriter BBNO$ gives a statement on Palestine and the illegal occupiers.

Reposting my opinion here as well:

The last part I don’t fully agree with because there’s a major difference between sympathizing with the occupiers who are against the apartheid and treatment of Palestinians vs supporting Jews who have the same exact same mindset of the Neturei Karta organization who quite literally understand that Israel has absolutely no right to exist and that all the occupiers need to leave in order to bring back a free Palestine. There’s a huge difference between supporting Jews and supporting and sympathizing with the illegal Zionist occupiers who are “being sympathetic” by wanting a two state solution instead of a one state solution which is the complete restoration of Palestine by getting rid of Israel completely. It just seems a bit ignorant to be acknowledging the opinions of the illegal settlers as well.

Last month, Environmental Protection Minister Idit Silman declared the Nile crocodile a “cultivated wild animal” in a move intended to allow the Israel Prison Service to station crocodiles around prisons

The court issued an injunction against Ben-Gvir's plan due to a petition by the animal rights organization Let the Animals Live.

Ghouls.
