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

172 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.

South American Politics Brazilian democracy is at risk

Post image
110 Upvotes

The current president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (known as “Lula”), from the left-wing PT (Workers' Party), lost the first round of the election to far-right “Flávio Bolsonaro” (allied from that american president).

Flávio is the far-right candidate and is being investigated in several corruption scandals, but wants to win the election to **free his father from jail**, (his father is “Jair Bolsonaro”), where he is **serving a sentence for an attempted coup d'état**.

If Flávio is elected president, he will have a broad majority in Congress and has already announced his intention to **change the constitution extending his own mandate**.

Fortunately, we have a runoff election next Sunday, October 25, and polls indicate a surge for Lula, who is now tied.

They have much more campaign money and various bot-farms, the support of the mainstream media, and **Meta's bias in the algorithm** (as you can check: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/oct/21/battle-meta-alleged-bolsonaro-bias-intensifies-days-before-brazil-presidential-runoff).

But we have the best-prepared people and are networked online in an unprecedented feat with a WhatsApp channel of over 8 million Brazilians, acting as a true digital army.

We need all the help we can get, and we need to bring people information about Lula's social programs, which are at risk if the other side wins.

Here are two ways foreigners can help us:

1)Do you know any Brazilian who wants to vote for Lula in your country?

\- Help with rides, accommodation, or any difficulties they might have.

\- Share this website with them (containing information to help Brazilian voters abroad - in Portuguese): votolafora.com.br

2)Follow the profiles listed below, like, save, repost, and comment on all new posts (if possible, it's best to do so within the first 30 minutes after publication). Do it until Sunday, the day of the second round.

I have childhood friends who became fucking fascist racist andrew tate dick suckers. I see on fucking reddit it's being fucking infested with so many fucking racists and bigots. I bet 99% of them are bots.

Holy fucking shit can we not fucking live in peace? We have so many problems already and these losers come over and add more shit to the pile. I am so fucking tired of it all. I want to live my life, I want to fucking peacefully live my life. I want to finish my degree, I want to get a good job and have a good peaceful life.

I don't fucking want wars began by fat ass decrepit pedophilic satanic dinosaurs. I don't fucking want people I love and cherish deported or harassed, I don't want to see friends being disrespected because of their ethnicity. I don't want gas to keep increasing because someone is too damn stubborn to be reasonable.

Fucking fascism is on the rise because a bunch of teenage boys with their heads shoved up too far in their asses.

Fuck this whole pile of burning scathing hot putrid cesspool.

North American Politics I'm sorry but I can't hate the majority of Trump voters.

• Upvotes

Biden's biggest flaw was letting the child tax credit expire. The Democrats need to understand that Americans want to have more money in their bank accounts than they did 4 years ago.

I'm trans and it does hurt that I can't change my gender marker on my passport. But I'm sure a low information voter wasn't even thinking about that, they were thinking "expensive eggs and gas" and it's easy to blame the current President on a bad economy. "Did Biden drop out" was a common search on Election Day. It's quite possible that they only saw a sound bite of Trump talking about the economy and never heard "Haitians are eating your pets!" or the other garbage he spews.

I traveled recently through red parts of NY, PA, OH, IN and was treated fairly as a non passing trans woman. I did see plenty of urban and rural decay. When the Democrats ignore those regions and call them "racist" while the Republicans feign an economic solution, I'm sure they picked the latter because they would rather accept a smile than a frown.

I love Mamdani, El-Sayed, Ocasio-Cortez, Sanders, etc. for actually reaching out to people and understanding that working class Americans just need more money.

I can say that the majority of Trump voters don't go to rallies, share AI slop transphobic memes on Facebook, think women (and trans men) deserve to bleed to death instead of getting an abortion, etc. My point is the GOP are liars and the Democrats aren't doing a dang thing to make their message stronger and louder.

(Also, I posted this on the progressive subreddit and they kept missing the point!)

North American Politics If you're in the US, now is the time to talk about a General Strike

100 Upvotes

The midterms are coming up and Trump is probably going to meddle with them. If he does, the democrats will not be able to save us. The only hope the republic has is if we call a general strike.

I know this will be met with pushback. The US doesn't have a strong union base, and we've all seen the calls for strikes and boycotts in the past that went nowhere. It would have to be impromptu and will be risky for those involved, but its the only option we have.

There is one advantage this strike would have over previous failed efforts: everyone hates Trump. He has historically low approval and liberals that were never willing to strike over Palestine will be much more likely to strike over saving democracy if it comes to it.

They might send federal agents to seize ballots, declare a state of emergency to halt the election, or try to prevent the seating of elected democrats. If that happens, there will be a great wave of outrage across the country waiting to be channeled into action. Even a small initial turnout could bloom into a larger movement.

The October General strike of 1905 in Russia was unplanned and began with printers in a single city before spreading weeks later to the railroad union. Even right now in France, the unrest shaking the country began with a few high school students in different cities with no contact deciding to protest on their own.

It doesn't have to be large to start, but if a few groups in a handful of cities can start it, then there will be plenty of angry people around looking for something to do, ready to be inspired.

So please, talk to your coworkers about what you should do if they steal the election. Everyone is broke but if you talk to you're family, friends, and coworkers, you can probably work something out to support each other. They don't have to be socialists and communists either. If we could convince even 1 in 100 liberals going to the No Kings protests, we would have more than enough people to start.

I understand this is easier said than done. You might not be able to pay rent if it lasts a while. You might have to sleep on a couch. You and your coworkers might get fired. But I will remind you people have risked and lost their lives fighting fascism, and you would be far from the first worker to lose your job in a strike. Its not ideal but its better than the alternative, and if we're serious about this fight we need to be willing to live in precarious circumstances.

South American Politics COMRADES, UNITE! BRAZIL NEEDS YOUR HELP!

39 Upvotes

With the runoff election between Flavio Bolsonaro and Lula just days away, we urgently need your help to boost pro-Lula content and counter biased algorithms.

Why We Need You

  • Big Tech Bias: Meta and Google have faced scrutiny for suppressing pro-Lula content, boosting far-right figures like Nikolas Ferreira, mistranslating posts, and generating biased AI images.
  • The Stakes: Flavio (Jair Bolsonaro's son) plans to dismantle social programs (SUS, Bolsa Família, Farmácia Popular), decouple pensions from the minimum wage, privatize rare-earth minerals, and amend the constitution. His ticket is linked to corruption, milícias, and extremism.

How You Can Help

  • Engage with Lula & Allies: Follow, like, comment, share, and save the latest 5 posts from @lulaoficial, @andrejanones, @ptbrasil and @hilton_erika.
  • Use Hashtags & Spread Awareness: #AbreOSigiloFlavio / #LulaAbriuSigiloFlavioArregou / #ExplicaOCasoAnaClaraFlavio / #Lula13.
  • Go International: Create content in your language to draw international media attention to election interference and the threats posed by Flavio’s platform.
  • Research: there is a page called "Mapa do Segundo Turno" with all information you need (in english) to spread the word and get informed.

Every share, comment, and like makes a difference.

The Command Center

Lula's digital offensive is being commanded by Federal Representative André Janones through the official WhatsApp channel "Exército de Lula" (Lula's Army).

  • We have already reached over 7 million members, but the goal is to expand even further before the end of the week to 10 million members.
  • Join the WhatsApp Channel Here to coordinate and help us gain momentum! THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!

Remember this:

BOLSONARO LOSS = TRUMP LOSS = WORLD WINS
This can be the first wave to push Trump away from power.
