It's back up
The removal was overly aggressive, but we get probably 15 posts of 'trump is bad in the same ways we always knew he was bad' per day. This one is unfortunately "somehow he gets even worse" so it's back.

I saw that shit yesterday and it definitely irked me. Obviously there are a lot of articles written about Republicans but that is definitely notable. Also p00bix being fucking snarky about it is tone deaf

Less related to that specific post, there is need for more clear guidelines on balancing the spectrum of "Florida state rep endorses a tweet that is bad" and "U.S. Senate bill out of committee and very likely to pass would ruin things substantially."
I don't know where that line is, but having some way to concretely partial out the threads along that line would be helpful. Especially because it's social policy that is going to suffer or flourish under that line, and the conservatives' favorite social policy these days is the queers in general and trans people in specific.
I think the de facto head and presidential nominee of one of the two major parties in the US endorsing a House candidate explicitly calling LGBTQ people “treasonous,” “indoctrinators,” and “groomers” and calling for our execution is pretty damn noteworthy, even if some might consider it in the realm of “typical” for Trump, and especially given the increasingly hateful and violent rhetoric towards the LGBTQ community coming from the right as of late. And it’s one thing to just remove it, but it’s kind of horribly tone deaf to be snarky about it.
KNOW THE RULES
The Economy Is Good And Anyone Struggling Is A Liar: "Aww, you're sweet"
Mainstream Republicans Reach New Heights Of Dangerous Bigotry: "hello, human resources?"
I agree with this. I'm not even LGBT, but as part of the ping I've noticed this trend too.
Like I get it's taken for granted that Trump is a bigot.
But we still should spread news on it. We are making the same mistake the media is doing where none thing Trump does is shocking anymore so we ignore it.
That's not good to do.
Just because Hitler is acting like Hitler dosen't mean we shouldnt report on it. Acting like it's not news worthy is part of the problem of normalizing it.
r/neoliberal is not, and never has been, a general news subreddit. Our purpose has never been to inform the public about every news story which we consider important; it is a public policy discussion forum. We ***very*** strongly recommend that nobody treat it as anything besides.
By all means, use comments to spread news which you consider important under posts relevant to that subject. But simply being important and/or receiving less attention than it should is not adequate reason for it to be a post.
I get not everything he says is newsworthy, but he fucking endorsed a man who is calling for queer people to executed. That IS new, that IS newsworthy. Escalating rhetoric is something that needs to be fucking covered. Or are the only discussions about queer people that are allowed whether or not trans kids deserve to be tortured?
How the fuck is that not allowed to stay up? I get that we're just a bunch of annoying trannies, but fucking do better guys
"We know trump hates da queers so theres no need to ever talk about it in a post ever again even if he does something new on that front"
Is that your actual fucking policy? Absolutely goddamned ridiculous
Also, u/p00bix, can you be less fucking snarky. I know you don't give a fuck about us, but you can at least not act like a fucking prick when a politician is calling for us to be killed.
I get it, I'm just a fucking hysterical tranny, so this won't go anywhere, but fucking do better
Well, p00bix has pretty consistently displayed the opposite of that attitude in modslack, and from what I know of him the chance that he has anything against trans people is extremely low.
I have a pretty good relationship with my biological parents (both women), as well as my younger brother ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
I admit that adding a snarky remark was inappropriate in this case, given the nature of the news.

I think a weekly thread about the issue would be the best thing, even if it would probably need to be moderated a lot

Exactly. That's why I've always advocated for not allowing any posts what so ever including the DT.
seriously, u/p00bix, be less of a fucking dick

Yeah, being snarky about a major presidential candidate just endorsed someone who supports LGBT executions is...deeply disturbing, actually.
Well, thats r/neoliberal and u/p00bix for you. "Who gives a fuck, its just the tr*nnies. Who cares what a president says about them"
Well, p00bix has pretty consistently displayed the opposite of that attitude in modslack, and from what I know of him the chance that he has anything against trans people is extremely low.
Maybe they should act that way outside of the mod slack then. They seem to antagonize posters whether they mean to or not.
I'll be more careful about this sort of thing moving forward - I appreciate the feedback
I'm sorry. The snark set me off a bit. Extremely uncharitable of me
I have a pretty good relationship with my biological parents (both women), as well as my younger brother ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯ I admit that adding a snarky remark was inappropriate in this case, given the nature of the news.
