I guess r/neoliberal allows plain old shilling now? The following post is clearly just an advertisement (archived copy in case OP changes the text)

Hi I was wondering if you could approve this comment that seems to have been autoremoved. It's part 3/4 of an article and I would really love to finish reading it. Thank you in advance!

Suggestion: make automod reply to mentions of "Elon Musk" with something like:

Elon Musk

Do you mean Lord Palafox?

Lord Palafox is a character from Jack Vance's classic science-fiction novel The Languages of Pao (1958), one of the techno-wizards of the futuristic Breakness Institute, a group who give their bodies high-tech augmentations that allow them to do things that appear like magic to the uninitiated (flight, force fields, etc). The Breakness Institute itself is a planet-spanning "research society" that is deeply sexist - its members are only men, women are delegated to reproduction, menial and pleasure jobs, and the Institute extracts "tributes" of young women from the other colonies it deals with. Breakness members don't age much, but at some point they tend to "go Emeritus" (i.e. nuts), start pursuing strange projects and disappear from public life (one way or the other). A member's standing in the Institute is partially determined by how many children (read: sons) they have, and Palafox's role as the villain of the story is cemented >!when he impregnates (implied: rapes) the teenage crush of the protagonist when he's about the same age; she commits suicide rather than bear his child.!< Palafox later >!becomes obsessed with spreading his progeny throughout the Universe, starting with the titular planet Pao.!<

As the rule may be triggered too often, you can limit it only to the full name rather than also including "Elon" or "Musk".

Submission Statement. This is a direct attack on free speech. This case has little to no merit and is designed to attack Trump's perceived enemies. This is a preview of what Trump's presidency is going to be like and the long term impact he will have on the media. This is very much a topic to discussion relevant to arr neoliberal.

Edit nevermind, I see this is already posted now... I will leave my shame here.

I've been participating on r/nl for a year now, and I still can't post a post because they get auto deleted

Let me know what I'm doing wrong

A while ago, I've made the decision to quit Reddit permanently. It's more or less time to execute this decision. This ban is just an insurance policy. If I ever recreate an account (not that I would ever do that), it would just mean the account would get suspended.

It was nice knowing y'all.

My last 3 posts have been automatically locked, I’m not sure why.

This post I made got removed:

https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/comments/1hgc0ou/aoc_loses_key_vote_in_house_oversight_race_to/

I saw this occured and I thought it would be relevant to the subreddit because it seems like a pretty relevant event as part of a broader set of shifts and conflicts within the democratic party. In case it doesn't meet notability/relevance guidelines, I would be curious what would need to be different about this event for it to meet them.

Thanks

We already change "delete" to McNuke, just reüse that code.

His humanitarian work is everything we should strive to embody, as is his technocracy. Plus would weed out the "hur hur hoover depression" folks

Rockefeller embodies many values that align with neoliberal principles: a belief in innovation, philanthropy, and the power of markets to create prosperity. His extensive legacy of philanthropy exemplifies how private wealth can be used to advance the public good. He is a quintessential figure of American economic achivement and I would welcome some of his contemporaries being added as well. But most importantly, he was him.

There were several comments in this thread that were deleted for complete bullshit reasons simply because they made the OP look bad. Incredibly pathetic. This is essentially trolling.

There have been 7 consecutive annual charity drives since the sub was founded. Yet there has not been one in 2024. Need one ASAP so the Bezos flairs can upgrade to Brian Thompson

its been broken for a while now, can we have it back pls 🥺

Seeing how Jeff Bezos has surrendered in the fight against Elon Musk, and succumbed to becoming a Trump bootlicker (I know, blame the game not the player etc.), it is essential that we find a new capitalist icon who can effortlessly trigger both the left and right. There is no better choice to Brian Thompson. After all, a dead man cannot object to being a martyr.

I was looking, and I think none of the founding fathers of the European Union are options. It's missing incredibly based people like for example Jean Monnet.

He was an internationalist who:

• Coordinated allied transportation and wheat supply in WWI
• Worked to increase weapons shipments to Britain in WWII

-Advised FDR and convinced him to increase arms production

• Modernized the French economy postwar
• Proposed joining the French and German coal and steel industries to reduce the future risk of war
• Laid the groundwork for the European Economic Community and eventually the E.U.

He's uncontroversial as well as far as I know.

The other founding fathers like Konrad Adenauer or Robert Schuman were also key players, but their WWII stuff might be a bit more controversial, although I don't know as much about them to be fair.

This post is triggered by this post being removed... twice: https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/comments/1hdkme7/most_people_approve_of_luigis_actions_in_killing/

I just want to provide my experience on this as feedback to the mod team.

Firstly, what even is a low submission quality post? You guys literally have a typo from the pentagon stickied to the top of the subreddit right now. I cannot think of something more low quality. "Mods are asleep" type posts are allowed all the time. During the election dozens of silly maps, mostly of just Jeb, were okay. How do you come to the conclusion that one meme is "low quality" and another isn't?

I also seem to recall that this rule used to say something about including a submission statement, which I do with all my posts that I think might be controversial or seen as a rule 8 violation, and I did for this post as well.

Submission Statement: https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/comments/1hdkme7/comment/m1wqolp/

The least you could do, if I am putting in the effort to write a submission statement, is to put in the effort yourselves and reply to the submission statement with a reason why the post is low quality and why the submission statement is wrong.

Secondly, the only rational that I have received so far for this post being removed is to the effect of "we are done with this topic". Yet, this logic wasn't applied to the poor quality poll that sat on the top of the subreddit for several hours this morning: https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/comments/1hdh1up/only_12_of_americans_believe_the_killing_of_brian/

It didn't apply to a mods post on the topic yesterday: https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/comments/1hcwqlf/luigi_mangiones_manifesto_reveals_his_hatred_of/

Also, for a subreddit that doesn't want to talk about this anymore, I find it funny that this is the sidebar image right now: https://styles.redditmedia.com/t5_2sfn3/styles/image_widget_8xzv7r4ngg6e1.png Seems like you kind of want to talk about it.

Besides, this post was far more about polling and this subreddits knee jerk ability to accept pictures and tweets as fact without analyzing it, or checking methodology at all. It wasn't about the CEO killing, and only one downvoted comment at the bottom of the post was about that. Everyone else was in on the joke and talking about polling.

Next, I have a discussion with a mod after they remove it, get approval, only for another mod to take it down like 30 minutes later.

https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/comments/1hdkme7/comment/m1wx26x/

It seems like misinformation is something people care about. Specifically, the post right before removing my post correcting misinformation from the mod is this: https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/comments/1hd6qnr/comment/m1wdmk7/

Well, combating misinformation takes some effort beyond hoping things get better. As moderators of this forum you are in a position to help combat this.

Finally, my feelings about this. Based on the actions here, and what I have experienced in the past, the current incentive that I am getting, is to not give a shit. Don't write submission statements because mods don't read them. Mod actions here feel arbitrary and I know I have felt that way before submitting stuff to this subreddit.

I try to submit high quality content to this sub and have written several effort posts dispelling misinformation. This post comes to mind ( https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/comments/1eeii5b/trumps_injury_from_assassination_attempt_and/ ). I am not spamming this sub with low effort garbage. I try to contribute meaningfully, but also in a humorous, self referential way. I just do not understand rule 8 and I do not understand why this post was removed. Clarification would be appreciated.

*edit, and to be clear, I didn't write this post to tear you guys down. Modding isn't easy. I wrote this post because I give a shit. If I didn't care, I would just unsub and move on. This post comes from a place of wanting to understand the rules of this sub, how I violated them, and try to improve my posting and this subreddit.

It was locked and deleted without any comment.

The goal would be to encourage users who know things to make BESTOF worthy posts, collect sources (books, but also good news sources), and how to get involved in improving the topic in their community.

If we were to do one on healthcare and health insurance (since it's topical), cdstephens could collect the various posts they've been making about health insurance in the US into a single epic post, users could collect books or articles from Pro Publica and the New Yorker about problems with American health insurance and how different countries do universal healthcare, if there is a healthcare focused news source (even something like a user on bluesky) we could collect those, etc.

I think this would have five benefits for the community:

1. It would provide an easy way for users to learn more about topics they may not know how to get started with
2. It would allow us to flesh out the reading list, so users can more easily to gain an indepth understanding of a topic
3. It would allow users to more easily find reputable and specialist news sources about a given topic
4. Make it easier for users that don't know what options exist, but want to get involved
5. I know that I am stupid, and I assume some of you are too, so it would be nice if there was a "ask questions you have about this topic and someone may answer in a long form post"

If we were to start this 24 December, I would probably put an announcement in the DT's header on the 17th, and have a stickied post outside the DT on the 24th for people to drop sources and ask questions that can be answered by people who know things.

My main concern is I'm not sure what the mods could offer to get much involvement.

Like i'm sick of ittt, okayyy we get it

This is arguably the most neoliberal of policies and it’s not even listed.

Comment in question:

"Somehow, "neither of these rich assholes is a working-class hero" is the most controversial take on this whole thing."

Edit: Ty for the quick resolution, and for ignoring my extra indiscretion of not posting in the appeal thread

My post got caught in the auto removal that happens whenever you put transgender in the title. If it needs to be a restricted thread that’s fine too. Thank you in advance

Have we so quickly forgotten the lessons of DUnC and the Democratic primary elections? Messianic, charismatic leaders are bad. We should respect institutions, not individual figures, no matter how heroic and attractive they may be. If we want to pay respects to a martyred icon, we should raise United Healthcare itself into a place of honor.

Adding to the reports about auto-removals. I just made a post asking about perspectives about worker incentives, but it got removed instantly.

Here is the link to removed post: https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/comments/1hc74i1/stupid_question_to_what_level_does_the_modern/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

It will force people who accidentally stumble upon the sub to rage read it, and will hopefully at least force them to reconsider their support of the maniacal murderer.

Please.
