I really wish people would stop constantly equating transgender rights with <insert adjective here> rights. The formula's been used so much that it's lost all meaning.

I can think of a few that actually work. TRANS RIGHTS ARE PEDO RIGHTS!

lol reddit admins are such pussies. Just like everyone else involved in that worthless pit.

Imagine how even more obnoxious twitter would be with a bunch of those insane people moderating the place

What do you mean "imagine"? We don't need to. Note that Feminist Frequency is still listed there, along with the Trevor Project (tranny suicide hotline). They've got an entire sublist of "Content Governance" members. That title should give you shivers.

If the trannies rebel sufficiently for Reddit to back down (maybe they manage to cancel Ellen Pao in the process, kek) then they fail the shareholders, otherwise they fail their political point pets and jannies.

Spoiler (not spoiler): the shareholders win. Always. And I don't mean the handful of noisy ones who band together to buy 20% of the outstanding shares and become nuisances at the shareholders' meetings by screaming about diversity. I mean the rest, who quietly vote for policies (and staff) that will make them more money and against policies and staff who cost them money.

As someone who used reddit a lot over the years I must tell you this is wrong. Reddit doesn't capitalize much from click ads, but what they really capitalize on is shilling products directly to subreddits, or even buying subreddits to control narrative.

Even that becomes a lot less valuable the more they chase users away who don't adhere to radical leftist doctrine and companies (even the woke ones) don't generally want to chase off potential customers (or cultists in Disney's case). Disney preaches about "diversity" a lot but they aren't checking for DNC cards at the gate and they always make sure not to run their pride bullshit non-stop in all areas simultaneously either. There's always somewhere comfy and quiet for Republicans to loiter in while the preening fags skip down Main Street with the 12-foot rainbow dildos in tow.

So apparently an antiwork mod was on Fox news tonight. I'm still looking for the clip, but that's what's being reported in the rdrama thread.

FAM! Doreen Ford, the mod of antiwork is is life on Jesse Waters' show on Fox right now. - Drama

Right now they are discussing how the mod is happy being a dog walker and could do it forever, but Doreen really dreams of teaching philosophy.

He embarrassed himself and his entire movement, de did this all for free.

Fucking trannies still not self aware enough how they ruin every movement lmfao

"I am a man. I can give birth."

No, you cannot. Giving birth requires organs men do not possess. Those are mutually-exclusive states of existence; either you are a man or you can give birth, but not both. In this particular case, the answer is "not a man" -- it's a FtM tranny. But it's always one or the other, never both.

Our culture's biggest mistake is its failure to firmly put its foot down on this shit right here. This person only says idiotic things like this because not enough people have said "no" to her. It's a mistake to allow a person like this to live day to day unchallenged when she says idiotic things like this. We're too eager to just shake our heads and move on without saying anything, which she has learned to interpret over the years as "see? EVERYONE AGREES WITH ME!"

They do it for free cause trying to get a real job is "triggering their DEPRESSION".

Now that I mention DEPRESSION, reddit is a cesspool of pity parties about mental illness and cum. Reddit is slowly becoming worse than pornhub, and even pornhub realized they were too much cummers and dialed it back a ton, but reddit is headstrong on giving people things to cum.

They won't let you on disability for AUD. What you really gotta do is develop things secondary to AUD, like alcoholic neuropathy or avascular necrosis.

At the bottom of every bottle is a disability check. Go get 'em tiger.

 

[Beard_Chan]

Its been said to death but Im still amazed at how perfect this mod fit all the stereotypes for reddit mods, trans people, you name it. It feels like a parody but its real. Its just so delicious and perfect. And the fact they chose this person to represent them on television.

This is what happens when someone spends all their time in a circle jerk sub thinking upvotes = truth. Anyone going along with the trans movement is just hurting the people involved. Look how unprepared for the real world this person is due to their delusion. Telling them the truth is what they need, but they will never listen because there is always a fringe circle jerk group people can find online to join and get affirmation for whatever asinine belief they have.

 

[Blewberry Nausea]

Wait is alcoholic neuropathy when you hear My Chemical Romance sing Fuck My Ass?

 

[Collections Agent]

"We need to stop dividing ourselves and work together to achieve our goals for all workers! Also, right wingers fuck off! You aren't welcome here!"

This is why they will fail.
That and the retarded nepotism from the mods who keep secretly rehiring Doreen and learned nothing.

"No you just don't get it, all people are valid and deserve respect as long as they agree with me on every issue and back me up in everything I do or are a minority.

Otherwise everyone else is inhuman garbage that dosent deserve to ever be happy."

This may look like strawmanning but this is genuinely what a lot of them think lol

If you look at any leftist movement, they have wild gatekeeping rules and hierarchies for basically every type of person. You want to join some BLM movement as a white person? You better publicly acknowledge your privilege and expect to be silenced when a loud proud sista needs to get on her soapbox. If you don't YOU CAN GO FUCK OFF NAZI

Meanwhile go to like a "Blacks for Trump" facebook group and every single person is in total solidarity about how great Trump is and everyone is welcome to talk shit about Biden and Hillary and it's just a much more welcoming environment. Because the right isn't full of navel-gazing retard academics. And I'm saying this as someone who donated money to Bernie before. The difference in who is actually truly accepting is wild

Ironic. They want everyone else to agree with them on everything yet I bet you that none of them agree with each other except for "trans rights".

 

[AnOminous]

A lot of warehouse jobs pay pretty good actually. But it's also really exhausting and the hours can absolutely suck. Thing is while they can pay pretty good, it's usually not so good that you can overlook the issues with it

One hopes eventually the left realizes these parasitic troons are absolutely useless and actively hostile to the worker.

This is what happens when someone spends all their time in a circle jerk sub thinking upvotes = truth.

Yeah it's easy to get a bunch of upvotes when you ban everyone who gives downvotes.

Apparently they don't realize they can't just click "block" or whatever on Tucker Carlson or Jesse Watters or whoever when they encounter them in the real world.

 

[Blewberry Nausea]

yes. yes it is.

Yeah but what if you liked Biden but didn't like Hillary. Or the other way around. Or deviated in any way from their orthodoxy. They'd shit all over you.

Vice faggots called it a Fox News ambush lmao

OK, WTF Is Going On With the Antiwork Subreddit and the Fox News Ambush?​

The anti-work movement is bigger than ever. Now it needs to decide what it is.

Earlier this week, Fox News host Jesse Watters did a segment on “THE WAR AGAINST WORKING” in which he brought on a Redditor named Doreen Ford, who he described as “the person who operates” r/antiwork, a labor-focused subreddit with 1.7 million members. Watters began the interview: “Doreen, why do you like the idea of being home, not working, but still getting paid by corporate America?”

Ford explained that people in the anti-work movement “still want to do things, but they want to do things where they feel rewarded and in a good spot in life and where their job respects them.”

The interview was a typical Fox News ambush. Ford made reasonable and clear arguments for what many members of r/antiwork want, but Watters invited her on only to ridicule the notion that anyone would be “against working,” not to have a substantive interview. She had wandered into a den of wolves and didn’t realize anything bad was happening even as she was being eaten alive. To Watters, Ford was everything conservatives have been warning about the Woke Leftists Who Are Destroying America and want free things from the government.

“Are you encouraging people to be lazy?” Watters asked. "I think laziness is a virtue in a society where people want you to be productive 24/7," Ford responded. Later, Watters asked Ford, who said she is a 30-year-old dog walker, if she “aspires to do anything more than dog-walking, or is that your pinnacle?” When Ford mentions that she’d like to teach philosophy (a field of study likened to the mythical "underwater basket weaving" that conservatives have endlessly memed as being expensive, useless, and without job prospects), Watters literally laughs. “Philosophy. OK,” Watters said. “I would love to take your class, Doreen. I would just be taking notes the whole time and, you know what, professor is a very similar schedule to something you’re imagining, so it might work perfectly for you.”

“REDDIT THREAD: ‘WORK IS POINTLESS, HUMILIATING,’” a chyron below showed.

The Fox News interview was an inflection point for the antiwork subreddit, which went from a small community to one of the fastest-growing subreddits and now has 1.7 million members. Predictably, these members have different views on what it means to be “anti-work.” Some on the subreddit want to advocate for a universal basic income, some rail against capitalism more broadly, some just hate their shitty boss, most want to strengthen the organized labor movement, some just want to be paid a decent wage and be treated with respect.

Most of the viral posts on the subreddit over the last few months have been from workers who have told their bosses to fuck off, people calling for solidarity during unionization efforts and strikes, people who have automated their jobs and used the free time to pursue their hobbies, or posts about worker exploitation.

A few times the members of the subreddit also organized labor actions that had consequences off Reddit. Members organized a boycott on Black Friday and the spamming of Kellogg’s job portal with fake applications for “scab” positions to replace striking workers during a work stoppage at its cereal plants last year. Users also spammed receipt printers around the world with “anti-work” manifestos.

Since the Fox News interview, however, the main topic of conversation on the subreddit has been the interview itself, who “owns” the subreddit, the drama associated with the fallout from the interview, brigading from other subreddits, and censorship of posts about the Fox News interview.

Many people are mad that Ford, who is a moderator called u/abolishwork on the subreddit, was painted as “the person who operates” the subreddit. They’re mad that Ford did the interview with Fox News at all, over the objection of other moderators and without consulting the community. They are angry that Ford did an interview with a media platform that is predisposed to be biased against a movement that’s broadly anti-capitalistic, leftist, and pro workers’ rights. And they’re mad that the movement—which includes many “essential” and blue-collar workers who put in 40-, 60-, or 80-hour weeks just to make ends meet—was so easily able to be portrayed as lazy communists who want to stay home all day and get free stuff from the government.

“There seems to be a clear separation between the users who think this subreddit is about: stagnating wages, improving workers’ rights, highlighting illegal or abusive practices, exploring how to best raise issues at work or legally. Meanwhile, the moderators seem to have created the subreddit to discuss: abolishing coercive labor and capitalism, universal basic income, anarchism,” a viral post from Wednesday reads. “I don’t understand how this sub can continue without reconciling these differences.”

Recent posts include:

• “If the Fox News interview has you concerned about Antiwork, then congratulations, you now know how it feels to be weaponized against your allies.”
• “Mods - we deserve an explanation.
• “Mods delete petition with 100 upvotes to remove mod.”
• “Hey Fox News Mod, it’s ok.”
• “sorry doesn’t cut it — mods are not the leaders of this sub”
• “Antiwork needs to decide what this subreddit is about”
• “Posting again as it was taken down. Mods need to stop removing fox news posts. This is the wrong form of damage control and is an even worse look for the sub, you are actively harming your community, and it is telling that the mods are currently only looking to save ice, not the community.”

In addition to the philosophical differences, the subreddit has fallen prey to more run-of-the-mill Reddit drama in the aftermath of the Fox News interview. This includes mod infighting and power struggles, posts and comments about the interview being deleted, and the ensuing cries of censorship associated with this, and so on and so forth.

A current member of the moderation team, who asked to remain anonymous because the mod team has decided not to do any press, told Motherboard that many of the removed comments were transphobic (Ford is trans), and said that the community has its work cut out for it.

“As you know, the head moderator went on Fox News, which in hindsight wasn’t the best thing to do. We’ve had a lot of backlash from that. She did the interview and posts started flooding in, lots of transphobia and harassing content. So we removed those posts,” they said. “While the posts weren’t harassing, the comments were. The comments were flooding in at a rapid rate. We tried to remove spots, but it became so much, we delayed posts coming about it coming in to quell harassment. Once we couldn’t do that, some moderators, not me, voted for it to go private. It went private while we sorted everything out. We lost some mods in the process.”

“I think half the mod team didn’t know about Fox News interview. I didn’t know until a hour an hour before,” they added. “It’s gonna be up to the community to resolve this. Abolish is no longer modding with us. A couple others aren’t modding with us anymore. No quick fix. It’s going to have to be something that runs its course. In other sub Reddits, people are sympathetic with everything that’s going on. It could be the death of anti-work, but that remains to be seen. Our focal point is to get sub back to full running platform. It’s on restricted right now, we’re about to have that go live right now with a few restrictions like crowd control mode.”

Essentially, the antiwork subreddit is going through what many major subreddits have gone through; the difference here is that the stakes are possibly higher: The antiwork subreddit was growing into something of an actual political force, having organized real-world actions. This doesn’t mean that the movement or subreddit will die, but it does mean they could fracture, and that its members are currently distracted with infighting and not, say, the labor conditions of their fellow workers.

There are no signs that the situation will imminently improve, though some concrete steps have been taken. Ford was removed as a moderator of the subreddit. Ford did not respond to a request for comment. The subreddit was also taken private and temporarily shut down to new posts while moderators tried to figure out how to deal with the situation. There was also a highly downvoted “statement” from a moderator called Kimezukae Thursday morning that doesn’t bode particularly well. Kimezukae says that they have been a moderator for only a few days, have done still-to-be-released interviews with three major international media outlets, including the New York Times, and are now somehow speaking for the rest of the moderators: “Hello, I’m a 21 year old male, long-term unemployed and an Anarchist," they posted. “I was randomly invited [to be a moderator] by a former mod that quit 1 week ago.”

The top upvoted comment on this “statement” is: “Can the mods please stop trying to represent us. You are not the leaders of the movement nor spokesperson. You are solely here to keep this sub a civil place.”
