Mod Update Antisemitism, Racism, and Bigotry will not be tolerated

Post image
0 Upvotes

What the title says. I'm beyond exhausted hoping that some of y'all will pull your head out of your asses and live up to the values necessary to be a passable human being. Since this has been a repeated failure, we will move to a zero-tolerance model going forward:

  • Antisemitism will result in a 28 day suspension of your account from this subreddit, followed by a permanent ban for any infraction afterwards.
  • Racism will result in a 28 day suspension of your account from this subreddit, followed by a permanent ban for any infraction afterwards.
  • Bigotry (this definitely includes transphobia) will result in a 28 day suspension of your account from this subreddit, followed by a permanent ban for any infraction afterwards.
  • Genocide denial will result in a 28 day suspension of your account from this subreddit, followed by a permanent ban for any infraction afterwards.

If you have a doubt of whether or not something is going to run a-foul of these zero tolerance boundaries, don't fucking post it. No, I'm not going to rules lawyer technicalities. The time for you taking a nuanced approach is passed. No, I'm not going to accept ignorance as an excuse. It is 2026, go get educated on how to not be a piece of shit.

This is a warning to all users - I don't give a fuck how well you discuss theory, the praxis you claim to have accomplished, none of it. If you are in this community, you will be a decent fucking human being. If you can't step over that incredibly low bar, then I don't want you here so fuck off.

ADDENDUM: As of 9.15 PM Eastern, any further comments defending this content as not being antisemitic will be banned permanently. I've explained repeatedly the rationale behind this and I'm done giving the benefit of the doubt that users can hear a new expectation and engage with it responsibly. If you cannot act like decent people, then this subreddit doesn't need you.

For everyone else who asked clarification and/or generally acted like a human being, thank you.

EDIT: Locking this to catch up on bans.

Mod Update r/leftist and Veganism

173 Upvotes

This has been a long time coming and every opportunity was extended to allow the topic to be allowed on r/leftist, but those opportunities have come to an end. As per the newest addition to the sub's rules:

# 7. Prohibited Content

Prohibited Content includes permanent and/or temporary policies aimed at addressing specific events or issues which may affect the community. Currently, the following items are considered prohibited content:

* Veganism - Permanent: As veganism is not inherently a leftist topic, posts centered on veganism rather than leftism are are banned. Any posts or comments referencing veganism must be in relation to anti-capitalism. Proselytizing about veganism is forbidden.

There has yet to be a single post about veganism on this subreddit that has been rooted in anti-capitalism that has not devolved into an advertisement of veganism. There are many subreddits about veganism, including some from a leftist perspective. Please utilize those subreddits in the future - posts proselytizing for veganism will be marked "off-topic" and removed. Repeated violations will result in actions including suspension and up to permanent ban.

As this has been an issue before, we will be monitoring activity surrounding this topic and any hint of brigading will be reported.

General Leftist Politics The highest taxpayers are not the same as the richest people

This is a phenomenal point that we as voters need to understand!!! This is how the elite pit the people in the upper middle class, against those in the lower & poor class. This is how they keep small business owners and actual economy drivers on their side instead of supporting the workers. This is the disconnect between your local ethical business owner that you know employs a bunch of people & the unscrupulous Megacorps/superwealthy that sell us down the river. If they paid taxes then we wouldn't have most of these issues and business ownership would be a choice not the only path out of poverty.

Edit: A Neurosurgeon making 500k shouldn't pay more in taxes than the owner of a sports betting site.

The local regenerative farmer shouldn't pay more in taxes than the Megacorp genetically engineering our food and destroying our land.

The guy running the local cellphone repair shop shouldn't pay more functional taxes than the Multi-national elctronic conglomerate.

When you dont differentiate between earned and inherited you create and inherently unfair system.

If you work hard and employ 30,000 at a shoe factory with fair wages and benefits it fair that you are a millionaire. If you are a Venture Capitalist that runs around destroying livelihood by saddling decent businesses with your Financially engineered debt you should be in prison and taxed into oblivion.

South American Politics Help Brasil boost posts right after our presidential debate

• Upvotes

Hey everyone, we just had a Brazilian presidential debate, and we need your help boosting posts supporting Lula. I know there's already a post talking about how to help us, but doing that right now will help even more.

I don't know if you're aware, but Meta has been working against us by giving far-right content in Brazil a boost. Mark Zuckerberg himself acknowledged that the platform had been making mistakes in its content moderation policies (Meta's official announcement).

There's also been a recent report showing that Nikolas Ferreira, one of the key figures in Brazil's far-right movement, gets an unusually high number of views on Instagram Reels — reportedly outperforming global celebrities with far larger followings. (Folha de S.Paulo's report on the findings and https://sleepinggiantsbrasil.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/relatorio_instagram_final-1.pdf )

We need to boost content supporting Lula!

Please follow his social media accounts, like, comment on, and save his latest five posts, and help engage with the content being published right now.

His main Instagram account is @ lulaoficial .

You can also comment using the hashtag #abreosigiloflavio along with #explicaocasoanaclaraflavio.

You can also look up these topics:

  • Who created MEI (Brazil's individual microentrepreneur registration system)?
  • Flávio Bolsonaro and the Ana Clara case.

Every bit of engagement helps. You can share the post with whatsapp robots too or create content in your language to help us attract international interest. The guy talked openly about changing the constitution and his party did a Bolsonaro's version of a Mussolini campaign!

Thanks for your support!

General Leftist Politics Mission statement for developing group:

• Upvotes

The biggest threats to equality are compliances, silence, neutrality and fear.
We are all, on all political spectrums, guilty of this

We have stayed complacent and it has failed.
We have stayed silent and it has failed.
We have stayed neutral and it has failed.
And we have walked in fear of persecution, isolation and judgement.
The persecution cannot increase-it has become the living nightmare and the page of history we said we would never be. We have all become object in the eyes of powers that be and they will and HAVE do with us what they please.
We have become not only isolated, but pitted against each other in our respective marginalized communities, when we are of the same suffering.

We will be judged even if we join the side of the oppressor, for we have let their false sense of superiority rule for too long.

We live in a country where rape and torture is virtually legal. Where young Black men have their cause of death claimed drowning, with no water in their lungs. Where masked villains hunt humans for nothing more than the color of their skin. Where countless POC have had their deaths at the hands of American fascism filmed and broadcast. Where rights of women, POC, LGBTQIA, immigrants, and the poor are stripped and we are expected to say thank you as they tighten the restraints.
We, the back bone of this failing empire out number the oppressor and they fear our unity.
We must make them live their nightmare.

South American Politics How to fight for Brasil if you don't know any Brazilians

11 Upvotes

Oligarchs and Big Tech want us to believe that resistance is futile. It is not. We are just individuals but through collective action, engagement and mobilization we can change society.

Help us occupy every place on the internet.

Do you have any hobbies? Do you like video games, movies, music, cooking or gardening? Are you an artist?

Spread our words through social media.

Tell people not to vote for Jair Bolsonaro's son, Flávio Bolsonaro, Trump's puppet.

Tell your friends about what's going on here. See anyone talking about Brasil? Say LULA 13.

Don't see anyone talking about Brasil? Bring it up. Tell your friends, your family, your coworkers.

Tell everyone we are having elections, tell Meta has already confirmed to lowering Lula's range on their platform. Tell they are trying to manipulate public opinion into electing the son of a man who is in jail for trying a coup d'etat.

Comment LULA 13 on YouTube videos, Facebook pages, Instagram posts, everywhere. Join us. Help us occupy every space.

If you happen to know a Brazilian, reach out. Tell them not to do it. Tell them not to vote for Bolsonaro.

A loss for Bolsonaro is a loss for Trump.

Please hit like and share so this can reach more people.

Edit. Also follow Lula's page on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lulaoficial

Resources Are we the generation that finally says ENOUGH?

0 Upvotes

Are you tired of politicians starting wars?
Tired of seeing more money spent on war than on education and healthcare?
Tired of a world where paying rent has become almost impossible?

Our generation has been called lazy, unwilling to work, and a lost generation. But we’re tired of being blamed for a system that isn’t working for us.

I’m looking to bring together people from different backgrounds to build an independent European civic movement, free from political parties.

Our goal is to find real solutions and organise peaceful, democratic initiatives across Europe.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. IT’S OUR TURN. ✊

Would you be interested in being part of this?

Question What are your thoughts on the idea of a "United North Atlantic Federation"

2 Upvotes

The United North Atlantic Federation is my theoretical idea of a hypothetical leftist union between North America, Western and Northern Europe, The UK, etc

This can take many forms like an association of leftist parties similar to an internationale or a sort of superstate

Basically turning the imperial core against itself is the only way we can achieve socialism in the west

Of course these are the ramblings of one online and much sleep-deprived crazy idiot and should not be taken into much consideration unless you want to

North American Politics No justification

7 Upvotes

We live in a time where the most powerful man on earth is a convicted rapist who is mentioned and photographed with the man who ran the biggest pedo ring of all time. Openly threatens war on any country he feels over a social media app like a child. Condones men with little to no training rounding up people with darker complexion purely off appearance and with little to no evidence proving they have committed a crime. Congratulates the same men for murdering us citizens in front of there family’s then makes up lies to tell his cult who no matter what will believe him, even when it contradicts beliefs they had held in the past. Ruins relationships with their closest allies and trade partners by putting tariffs deemed illegal by the supreme court and in doing so shits all over the democracy brave soldiers gave their lives for. Openly supports and funds a country currently committing genocide supplying the bombs used to kill 10s of thousands of children and adults.
If you can still support someone like this this world doesn’t need your input
you are worse then scum

Edit: I thought I would hear some bs but you find a way to justify rape and GENOCIDE by saying it happened before so don’t be surprised.
Lower forms of intelligence.
