So why are anti-Nazi posts taken down here now?

I saw the post - it really was pretty far into advocating violence overtly.

I get why it was taken down.

I must have missed those parts, thanks for the explanation.

Am I not punk anymore? Anyone else feeling the same now?

I'm in the US and I've considered myself punk since high school so ~10 years. I still go to shows often, participate in mutual aid, volunteer. I'm in LA and even the last couple weeks I've been sharing resources, volunteering, and donating what I can due to the fires. I come from a minority

---

• immigrant background, I am not rich or even middle class by any means (single mom) and I have a child with disabilities.

With the new presidency and all these executive orders being signed, I know now is the time to get out there and advocate and protest more than ever. However, I actually have felt the opposite which makes me really sad to say. I'm trying my best to keep up but just end up upset and logging off my social media and news articles. In a way I feel like I can't make much of a difference, I feel like every identity of mine or things that matter to me and my family are being targeted. The day of the inauguration for the first time in 10 years, I thought maybe I should take out all my piercings and cover my tattoos and buy some more normal clothes to blend in as best as I can. I actually felt like "Is this what is needed to survive the next 4 years?" Is this normal or has anyone else felt like this? Does this mean I am not punk anymore?

You have someone relying on you and it's not everyone's responsibility to be fighting every single fight. You have every right to keep yourself and your loved ones safe and anyway punks look after each other. You looking after your youngling is a perfectly punk thing to do.

Stay safe

>youngling

You're still punk. You EXIST. You are having a strong reaction to bad people and their bad acts. Pace yourself... Given yourself breaks. If we cannot individually effectively, healthily exist, there cannot be resistance. Focus on your community close around you, starting with you, family, friends, coworkers. We cannot take on an entire government structure or administration alone. We have to be stalwart, but be Gentle with yourself. Resist on the ground, where we are. You're doing better than you think. It's not the look or outward loud defiance all times.... just carry the sentiments in your heart and actions and let them guide you. Some of us like the loud, fraught fight. Some of us have a more quiet, sustaining power. Do what is you, but don't you quit. Don't you give up. We will make better days ahead. It's worth fighting for in the very way we live our daily lives.

punk is when, you exist

Republicans will never be punk.

Yeah, punks aren't usually those with all of the power in society and who oppress the most vulnerable.

Thinking you're punk just because people find you vile is some real soft brained shit

It's like when we found out eric harris was actually a popular kid and a bully himself. You're not oppressed or outcast by society, fighting back. You're actually the one with power. You're just a c*nt.

Yeah the peepeeheads that would go to punk shows in the 90's were usually yuppie Republicans that wanted to fight "non conformists". They didn't care about the music or the scene they just wanted to fight. They saw a room full of aberration and wanted to impose order. A lot of the ones I knew of personally, went on to become cops.

Cops can't be punk either.

No such thing as a republican punk. Just little b-word butt posers

Why did I even bother? This subreddit says the exact same things alllll the time. It's so boring! ...and new reddit algo pushes the sub pretty hard.

Somehow he thinks this is normal. Some tvs have smoothing on as default. He didn't even know what it was. Zoomers are so brain rotted they think a normal ps5 can run rd2 which has a draw distance of like half a mile at 60fps. This is some ceiling bird levels of not noticing.

They are both semi-automatic weapons. One trigger pull, one bullet.Didn't say a handgun & a long gun are the same thing, I obviously mentioned them separately in my post. They do, however, function identically. The only difference is that a handgun is easier to conceal, but less accurate.Calling an AR-15 an "assault weapon" is in bad faith.

Background: /r/straighttransgirls is where the s of the Blaire White variety go to rant, away from their overwhelmingly transbian ("it's maam!") counterparts.

OP wonders if these euphoria boners often discussed on the main trans subs are real or are just a terf psyop. Commenters proceed to fight over:

• AGP is a fake term and transphobic to even mention

• AGP is real but it's perfectly fine

• boners indicate transbians are just fetishizing perverts

• it's fine to get boners over spinny skirts…not sexual at all

Oh shut up gurl.. stop making stuff up.. I didn't experience this so called "euphoric boner" even when I haven't transitioned back then and was just starting on Estrogen... I literally have fluctuating libido but I don't get a "boner" by the sight of me looking like a very beautiful woman.. This is not a thing, you guys are just making it up to cover your fetishes...

this has haunted me more than anything I've ever read on here

!neolibs

… in a subreddit for listing available federal job positions.

Many are upset about this and start arguing in the comments.

There's a literal fricking hiring freeze, what do you want from us?

To follow the rules and not try to start some uprising here?

What federal hiring process? No one is getting hired right now, and also, who would even want to join the government at this point? You'd have to be desperate or stupid to hop on a sinking ship…

People are still getting hired. Jobs are still being posted on USAJobs. So go on, delete your comment or edit it to admit you didn't think before commenting.

I did think before commenting and stand by my comment that anyone thinking of joining the federal government in this moment is either stupid or desperate.

Even if you do get hired, everyone received the mass "please resign!" emails and I doubt that trend will end any time soon. And if you get hired, you're likely probationary which is an awful spot to be in. No one's job is special or safe or can't be done by a Musk crony according to this administration.

I mean, if you're already trapped in fed gov, do you. But now seems like an especially bad time to hop around because what boss is going to bat for a new employee?

Plenty of people want to join. There are still posts on this very subreddit of people looking for advice, showing their TJO and FJO. You want to call them stupid or desperate? Fine, but don't try to subvert the reason for the subreddit existing. So both your points, that no one is getting hired and no one wants to work for the administration are rendered null by the facts.

Yeah, good luck to them 👍 I truly hope it works out.

Amen. My heart goes out to you mods, I can't even imagine how busy you guys have been sifting through the extra 100K new bots and their nonsense.

If anyone wants to really visualize why this is necessary then everyone's history is accessible.

ALL (no exceptions as of 43 comments) who want non-stop rage bait politics here have never before set foot in this sub prior to the EOs.

ALL who don't like off-topic nonsense and support the mods, hammered with downmarseys, are top contributors who've been helping the sub for months/years.

We are being brigaded by trolls and bots, the only people who can possibly abide are the trolls and bots.

Do remember there are a lot of feds who have created burner accounts in order to participate without issue. Does make it much harder to tell who has been here before and who is a bot or troll.

New accounts would support that possibility, but none of them are new - all long term /r/politics users never here before.

Plus burner or not wouldn't change the fact that it is off-topic on this sub.

Did Elon post this?

Removing posts about what is going on only serves the interests of the new administration. Reddit should be a safe space for people to converse about their reality as a fed, or anyone affected by these EOs. We should be kept aware as the general public so we know how to help and join the conversation. Silencing the voices of people who are worried or unaware of the situation is how we got here and how we make it worse—not better. The teaching and nursing subreddits almost never ban ANYTHING. Why? Because everything is relevant in their public facing jobs, everything reaches them one way or another, the feds are no different. Shutting down the conversation is wrong and leads to/is fascism. Stop upholding arbitrary "rules" that support it.

Post them to /r/fednews where they belong.

It doesn't even belong there, but rprz and the other mods are terminally chronically online reddit jannies who are ignoring rule #5 of their subreddit.

Rule 5 there states no politics, but you can discuss current policies. So discussion of the Fork in The Road, the other HR(at)opm.gov emails, the RTO memos, and notices to probationary employees should all be valid.

Given that our work has been politicized to a higher degree than at any point in the past, I don't think the Mods are violating their rules.

Rule 5 there states no politics, but you can discuss current policies. So discussion of the Fork in The Road, the other HR(at)opm.gov emails, the RTO memos, and notices to probationary employees should all be valid.

If that's what were happening I'd agree with you. However the 100,000x fold YoY increase in the usage of the words "Nazi", "Fascist", and "regime" to describe our democratically elected government suggest to me that reasoned discussion of government policies is not primarily what's going on. When subredditors describe what they're doing as "doomscrolling" that word seems to have a negative connotation, in my mind. When "Solidarity from Moldova" type posts are upmarseyd to the top of the subreddit, that doesn't feel like a well-considered policy analysis by an informed stakeholder.

Enjoy a dead Reddit for a while, then.

Amazingly we existed just fine from the dawn of Reddit until a couple weeks ago when the bots invaded. We chugged along even without an off-topic chicken little post every 5 minutes.

That's funny, you're going to chug along with what job postings?

Yeah, thanks.

That's part of the problem. This can't exist in a vacuum. Everything that impacts hiring needs to discussed.

Feel free to post anything pertaining to the federal application process (e.g. questions, concerns, suggestions, tips, experiences, etc.).

The day one purpose and rule 1 of this sub.

What about the application process has changed due to the EOs? Go ahead, I'll wait.

Nothing? Correct.

Fednews (and THOUSANDS of others) exists, until an EO fundamentally changes the application process it doesn't belong here.

You're extremely pressed.

Uh, no. I think—like many of us—he's just getting tired of the 24/7 complain fest that this sub has devolved into. Go complain to your family and friends. Some of us come here for useful information—not to read people's diaries.

Not much federal hiring practice activity going on right now…

checks usajobs, sees plenty of jobs posted

Gaslamping doesn't work when people have reality right in front of them...

They're not "gaslamping"

They said "not much" is going on right now which is very true. Just because there is some still happening doesn't mean that the majority of possible positions are under a hiring freeze

Thank you. The person accusing gaslamping is literally gaslamping lol

As someone with stretched ears (3/4 of an inch, so not huge but not tiny), the smell is entirely dependent on hygiene. I pull out my jewelry every day, clean my jewelry by hand, clean myself in the shower, and use an oil on my ears before putting my jewelry back in. By the time I'm pulling out my jewelry the next day, I never smell anythingSomeone who just wears their jewelry without removing and washing it daily will end up with that smell (anything worn continuously without washing and removing it will smell). It's like anything else that could end up smelly on a person, it's entirely dependent on their hygiene and how often they actually clean that areaEdited to add: i do respect people's opinion about not liking them in general on people, i just get annoyed when people just assume everyone with stretched ears must smell bad lol (69)

Exactly, I've worn them on and off since about 2013 but it all depends on the person, their hygiene habits, and to some extent the size. I've only gone up to 00g but times when I didn't clean my ears for 1-2 days I'd notice it would start to have a slight dead skin smell to them. Granted, not a heavy one but slight, which tells me if I didn't have the natural cleaning habits I did I would've definitely stunk.The craziest part of all this is how people act like we should just take them out and never wear them again t since the majority of the population don't like them. Albeit everyone can have their opinion but it's crazy how much people hate them and hate us for not agreeing with them LOL (1)

I'm saying I've had them for 14 years and have never had an issue. I also know people who have had them for longer and also have had no issue.It's like saying you're more likely to drown in your bathroom than your living room. (2)

I live in tornado alley and have never even seen a tornado, that doesn't mean they aren't more likely here than pretty much every where else on the planet.Would you agree that a hobby of cliff jumping is more likely to lead to a broken bone than stamp collecting? Does that mean everyone who cliff jumps has a broken bone?Also, a person is WAY more likely to drown in their bathroom than living room. Approximately 90 children drown in their own bathtubs annually just in the US, 0 drown in showers. Does that mean that bathtubs are incredibly dangerous? No, of course not…but tell that to the 90 people who have a child drown every year. (-1)

Yea i figured hahaAnd no i dont plan on getting tattoos on my face or neck. I do have a lot on hands and fingers tho but they are very minimal and i have a lot more noticeable ones on my arms anyways. I do have one behind my ear but i doubt noone will ever care, same with my lower chest, back and body ones. Tbh i think my 1 inch earlobes or my arm tattoos will prob be the deciding factor for a job but i doubt theyll be a problem nowadays. At worst ill just have to not wear my hair up all the time and switch to solid earrings instead of the ones with the hole. But im only 17 now so i guess we'll just see. Im sure things will have change a lot by the time i get a serious job anyway so im not worried at all. I can look very professional and feminine with them anyway as long as i dont have facial piercings and tattoos (1)

I saw that you were 17 and that's why I made the suggestions, lol. I'm going to do the old person thing and I say that I thought the exact same way when I had my cheeks pierced lmfao. Those had to go when I got a job. Where I am at now, doesn't care at all but it took several jobs during my career to get to this point. I make six figures because of those early jobs after getting my degree, they were stepping stones to where I am now. And unfortunately, it seems like the lower the pay the more oppressive the rules about dress code are. The only time I was ever reprimanded for dress code was when I was making $12/hour and it was my boss's fault I didn't have any nice clothes (long story lol.) So I advise caution. It's a horrible feeling to be rejected for being who you are. Choose your career carefully so you can find your people. The folks in this sub would have you believe it's rare... I promise you it's not but it's also not the default either. (1)

Have you never been to a women's space online? Like pretty much every large gendered space features plenty of this and women's subreddits are no exception.There are even femcels and their own equivalent of MGTOW. (6)

I agree that both genders are capable of this behavior and behave and feel these ways. However, men are the ones doing it enough and with enough power to create the terms for themselves that we all know. Women aren't lining up to hate-frick or otherwise unconscious men or coworkers. Women are not the majority of people setting people on fire in public. Men by majority have the Groomercords, the known terms and spaces, and the power and urge to turn their thoughts into physical violence that costs more women their lives than the reverse demographic. I do not believe for a second that the two are equal in their readiness to travel down the absolute hatred pipeline. Women by and large are taught societally to harm/reframe/control themselves to protect or dictate others' feelings/community and men are taught to harm/reframe/control others to protect or contro their own feelings and individual community, whatever "community" might be to both of them.So I think everyone has trauma, but women h...

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

This is valid. I agree actually; some men will act like buttholes for those reasons. And after rereading my original comment, I think I came off a little too strongly on the "men can't be irrationally sexist" opinion. However, the comment I replied to by the op said that incels who were specifically abused by women were at fault for not processing the trauma correctly. There is some truth to that statement; the fact that they're women is largely irrelevant compared to the fact that they're buttholes, but either way it's not their fault that the human mind is often flawed when it comes to processing trauma, making them associate that abuse with other women. It is absolutely the fault of the women and not of the men being abused, and to think otherwise is victim blaming (1)

I was abused in my own home as a child (by a male) and I agree entirely that it is on the survivor to heal. Who else will heal for them but themselves? I healed because it was my duty to. You can recognize it isn't your fault, and still understand it is your responsibility now. We have to evolve or repeat. It isn't my fault men hurt me. It is 110% THEIR fault for harming me. But, the difference between me & these incels is that… I recognize my abuser could've, by chance, been a woman, or I could been born male, had I been dealt a different hand… but it would still be my responsibility to heal. Again, who else's could it be?I also had to realize that it wasn't MEN who hurt me. It was that the people who hurt me were male. I was caging myself in a prison. I made every man a potential enemy. It was harming me more to believe 50% of people were abusive (or wanted to be abusive), than it would harm me to just fricking heal and accept that my abusers could've been male, female, black, whit...

I'm sorry but "choosing the bear" is not comparable to saying it's okay to r*pe kids. Glad you haven't been in enough incel spaces to hear that though. (9)

That's true, but I don't believe that happens naturally through someone being a bloke. I think it's a bit of a vicious cycle, obviously maintained by a patriarchal society, where extreme misogynists have disallowed young people from being able to express their hurt healthily like women can. When a woman is hurt and says I hate men, normal women can say That's okay, I understand. Let's have time for us to help you. They can work through the emotion of it. But due to these incel extremist types, if I or many normal men hear "I'm hurt and I hate women" it's too dangerous to just let them feel it and care for them through the resentments.. who knows if they're one of them nutters already or not? However, the hyper misogynist incels will take them in and actually build upon the hate instead of helping work through it. They normalise violence and murderous hate instead. It's almost funny, but not really, how if those who are so angry that men can't express those feelings just pissed off w... (10)

YEEZY DOES NOT HIRE FAT OR UGLY PEOPLE pic.twitter.com/HnmwiC0b66

— ye (@kanyewest) February 8, 2025

There is no postmortem I forgot this happened and I just remembered

I think this was the last funny thing to happen on rDrama aside from the Marself on a Marshelf event

First, it is simply false to say that treasury payments do not have a "payment categorization code". It is notable, by the way, that he uses this completely invented phrase rather than the actual phrase "Treasury Account Symbol" (TAS). Indeed, it's impossible to find another use of this phrase using an internet search engine in any context, let alone the Treasury context. The far more limited "deficiency" pointed out by the Government Accountability Office report Krause referenced is that information about individual government transactions were recorded in multiple different account entries separately by some government agencies and thus individual transactions could not be readily traced through to all the accounting ledgers they effected.

No chud, the government doesn't need to note where it's spending your money and it was definitely working on a system to fix that by 2028 possibly

On to Musk's next claim: the need for "rationales". The idea of putting a "rationale" for each and every individual payment (or payment file) makes little sense in the context of how the system works. Think of this in your own life: do you fill out a little form that provides your "rationale" for purchasing an item every time you swipe your credit card? If you were required to do so, you would react very negatively for the same reason you should react very negatively here: if you had to put a rationale then someone could reject your spending requests on the basis of providing the "wrong" rationale.

Imagine the right wing uproar when the possibility emerged of restricting purchases of meat through such a "rationale for transaction" system. This should be seen as no different. The "Treasury Account Symbol" (TAS) provides the only rationale that should matter which is that congress appropriated the spending. Of course, if you want to abrogate congressional spending then that is obviously not sufficient and, in fact, counterproductive.

No chud, the government doesn't need to note why it's spending your money

Imagine if the government were buying some groceries and the government's credit card was rejected at the checkout, chud, that would be terrible. What if the government imposed fascist restrictions on you, chud, how would you feel?

This all goes back to Musk's tendency to think that there is, can be or should be a "button" that determines all of this and its corrupt, inefficient bureaucrats preventing this from happening. He simply doesn't understand how complex these systems are or why they are the way they are. Take the Treasury Offset Program (TOP) for instance. It is a Bureau of the Fiscal Service system for collecting delinquent federal or state debts. One former Bureau of the Fiscal Service employee explained to me that there are rules that determine:

Actually, chud, the bureaucratic tumour is a good thing and hasn't metastasized enough

To include my own editorial comment for a moment, this is why it's so alarming to see him talk about updating this list "weekly, or even daily". This strongly suggests to me that he is talking about arbitrarily and rapidly expanding the list of people and entities on lists such as the Office of Foreign Assets Controls (OFAC) list without any due process to block them from government payments. As I discussed the Wednesday before last, the apparatuses for capriciously destroying the financial life of disfavored entities and people has been constructed over multiple decades with active Democratic participation and support. Now they are in the hands of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Thus, again, Musk's comments hide a desire for unchecked power over others under a false narrative about governmental "inefficiency".

My sources are also very skeptical that any career Treasury employee told Elon Musk that half of the expenditures that constituted "entitlements payments to individuals with no SSN" were "unequivocal and obvious fraud". It's hard to say more without knowing the context. This is the difficult thing with government by the pronouncement of Elon Musk. He can say stuff without any corroboration much faster than anyone else can check facts or correct falsehoods.

There's no fraud chud, my sources are 'skeptical'

In the meantime, it is exhausting how much effort is required to deconstruct one Elon Musk tweet. He can lie about very complex and technical systems much faster than he can be answered, but nevertheless it's important to periodically critically assess what the richest man in the world is saying as he continually tries to justify chopping the government up and selling it for parts like this is a private equity takeover.

Actually Musk is just lying, chud
