Intro

Meet WᴏbblierTube733, Transformers enjoyer, Bastille superfan (The shitty Coldplaycore band, not the prison), and possible TIM

How it's going:

r/SubredditDrama: I believe that a popular subreddit for my local community has been secretly infiltrated by neo-Nazis.

Right off the bat, I'm going to say that I am a queer punk socialist who has a personal stake in preventing Nazism from ever returning, so please understand that you do not have to agree with my political views and I don't expect you to (except fuck Nazis).

Solid opener! Let's see how this goes

My favorite type of drama is when someone posts something that absolutely doesn't fit in this sub and then spends an hour arguing with everyone and suggesting they're Nazi sympathizers.

… Username checks out? Like why are you setting me up to dunk on you if you're not a sympathizer?

This thread goes on and on and on, it's worth a read

Cut the histrionics and stop looking for nazi conspiracies behind ever mod decision you disagree with. Frankly, spend less time on the internet picking fights over things that probably didn't happen and I suspect you'll be a lot happier.

[Deleted]

Boo!

okay, we're at 100 reports for this, sorry

A low IQ zoomer spergout doesn't warrant an effortpost on its own, but where there is ruin there is hope for a treasure

How it Started

What's up with the Nazi themed restaurant 'Bier Stube' in Frankfort?

tl;dr: Chicagoland German restaurant displays some of the wrong type of German ephemera. The whole thread is pretty good, lots of and over toy trains with the mark of the beast

This was a pretty good drama eruption that we missed because the Chicago chapter of rdrama is slacking and nobody posts drama here anymore anyway, but I digress.

One day later, a hapless normie posts a sensible take (never do this) and kicks the hornets' nest in the process.

‌

As an aside, there are some open reportmaxxing opportunities in this thread if you're unbelievably boring into that type of thing

‌

I believe the post about Bier Stube has misrepresented the restaurant

This post gets dogpiled by nazi hunters and shitty german pub enjoyers alike, and OP is quickly buckbroken into submission.

I found the drama in this post more tedious than the previous one, but your mileage may vary. My main takeaway is that we need to kill all the zoomers and start over.

Most notably, this is where the hero of this story makes his first appearance.

I've never heard of this business before your post yesterday; but as somebody who has worked in the restaurant industry in Chicago, I'm actually 100% certain that if the owners are visibly displaying Nazi memorabilia then this place is absolutely a pro-Nazi establishment and they deserve to be publicly shamed. Stay safe.

There are also some reportmaxxing opportunities in this thread

‌

SRDine gaywads also got in on this action with their own post about it

I Did Nazi this Coming

The r/chicagosuburbs janitards sticky a sneedpost about the recent spat of sneedposts, warning users not to brigade or threaten violence, etc etc

This is normal jannie stuff, but it was extremely dramatic. There are two separate themes to focus on:

1. Wailing and gnashing of teeth from deranged redditors personally affected by the apparent invasion of suburban Illinois from agents of the third reich. It's the same shit you see in any local sub so I'm not going to waste time on it.

2. The OP of the second bierstube post defending their honor. This also bleeds into the SRD thread I linked in the last section and leads to some very entertaining threads between a self-described maniaposter and legions of God's stupidest soldiers.

The post also seems to have struck a chord with our hero, who makes an impassioned plea to stamp out the nazi.

I was born in Chicago. I've lived my whole life growing up around here. There are a couple of issues being conflated here IMO.

There are a lotta fucking Nazis living in this place, and they need to be called out. There is no reason to associate your business or your person with the swastika, or "WWII-era German history". Posts calling them out are okay within reason (see examples 2 & 3).

Example 1 is a nazi troll. I'm not sure if they're some kid from the north shore looking for attention, or a Russian bot, or just one of the owners trying to astroturf, but that post was rightfully locked down.

Example 4 is a news story. I'm personally (probably) safe, but the a story about rich kid sociopaths from NT or GBN going out and committing hate-crimes is alarming, and should not be dismissed. Hopefully discussions about those stories can be productive and lead to positive changes for everyone involved.

I think that we should not be advocating for violence against anyone, nor do I even particularly advocate in favor of bullying. But if you're "just asking questions" over and over about "how much hitler is too much hitler" because you "wanna start a discourse," you deserve to be ridiculed and mocked on the internet.

But also ban these Nazis every time they show up, please. I can't fucking stand them.

The jannies ignore him, but that's okay. /u/WobblierTube733 is a fucking loser living in Chicago in the winter, so he has plenty of time on his greasy impoverished hands to start hunting these dastardly nazis he just found.

(Also, because there's no point in being detail oriented if you don't draw attention to it in a self-congratulatory way, please note that this is the only place where I use his full username with regular characters so that he'll immediately see the meanest thing I say about him in this post if he follows the crosstalk link and Ctrl+Fs it.)

We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, yada yada

Wᴏbbly sets out to destroy nazis where they live: in the subreddits for second-rate public universities.

/r/wsu: Why is this subreddit moderated by a Nazi apologist?

I just went through that user's history. Other than your little subreddit drama, they haven't talked about Nazis, racism, or white supremacy at all. They have only talked about it in the context of some restaurant that hardly anyone knows or cares about. So no, their post history isn't full of gems like this.

You're not a WSU alum and you have no vested interest in the perception of our school other than your sad little axe to grind with a mod that's 8th on the list. I don't care whether they come or go but you can GTFO.

I do have a problem with alumni from your school spreading Nazi apologism on the internet. It's weird telling that you would feel more passionately about telling me to GTFO then you do about a Nazi moderating your subreddit and being affiliated with your school.

Ahhh, the ole "anyone who doesn't agree with me is a Nazi!"

How do you expect people to engage with this argument? You sound like a Nazi who feels called out.

E: lol

I have no idea what the intended gotcha is in this image, but whatever

Hi as a WSU student I want to apologize for how these other commenters treated you. I also want us both to remember that this subreddit is only the WSU students who use reddit regularly, not the majority of the university.

WSU is in a small town in a conservative area with a majority of white students and faculty. There are racists, xenophobes, and homophobes here. They are not the majority of students by any means. But because of the majority-ness of the whiteness, straightness, and cisness here, they are allowed to get away with a lot more than would be allowed at a different university in a different area. I love this school and have found a wonderful and large community of other students and faculty that have my back and that are anti-racist/anti_phobic, so I haven't experienced many issues here. But ignoring the problems of a PWI and brushing them off is also stupid.

OP replies to this one and the thread is funny, but it's all the way down so I'm omitting it for the sake of brevity.

Spurned by the retarded WSU alums (tautology), he tries taking the fight back to the mean streets of Shitcago suburbs with a series of posts calling out the something that everyone who actually cares already knew about.

/r/wilmette: Wilmette is planning to spend almost $50,000,000 on building a new police station.

/r/chicagosuburbs: Wilmette is planning to spend almost $50,000,000 on building a new police station.

This one got removed. There's not much that's interesting in these besides more hysterical from OP. He gets progressively more upset as commenters pooh pooh him and it's pretty funny.

One highlight:

You must be fun at parties.

t. Someone who doesn't get invited to parties

‌

Okay fine, one more highlight:

I'm a queer punk socialist. You're a neoliberal HOA member. What exactly do you mean by "our side"?

‌

The battle is lost when OP gets banned for surplus autism , but the war isn't over

/r/ChicagoMinusNazis

Why Did I make this Sub?

I got banned from ChicagoSuburbs for arguing with neo-Nazis, so I made this sub instead. I don't know or care how to moderate a subreddit, but I fucking hate Nazis and I'll be damned if I let them ruin my city/country/world. Abide by normal Reddit rules, and report neo-Nazis so that together, we can keep this community welcome and exciting for everyone.

Mission: To foster a more perfect and inclusive environment for everyone who lives in Chicago and the surrounding areas. To be a beacon for freedom, unity and goodwill amongst all.

Rules:

NO NAZIS. NO FASCISTS. If you read those four words and feel like those are draconian statements, this is not the subreddit for you.

[Insert all of Reddiquette here] You know what the rest of the rules are. If you have any concerns, or wish to flesh out a specific, please feel free to comment here, or post, or DM me. I do not care if this subreddit dies with no members, or if it flourishes into an expansive community. But if you are interested, join me, and we can build it together. :)

Q: Where do you go when the conspiratards ignore you?

A: Back to the beginning

Guardian gave it 100/100 we can throw that review in garbage can

Author of the review made a whole big butt article where he bitching about cutscene

https://www.theguardian.com/games/article/2024/jul/23/press-x-to-skip-its-time-we-retired-the-video-game-cutscene

Any one who played video games know a cutscene is better than an in-game cute scene where you can control your character because those are unskippable.

Mote bs reviewers and here it comes

https://n4g.com/news/2652490/civilization-7-review-ign#comments

IGN 7/10 basically the lowest score they could give

https://www.eurog*mer.net/civilization-7-review

Eurogaymers 4/10

So the game ain't that good.

Game probably will be in decent state after like 5 years and 100 paid dlc's

Sad but I guess only monster hunter and yakuza pirates for me in February and then in March butt shadow, atelier yumia, dead or alive prism

I think the one-party system in Chinese style is the best proven political system

With an opinion like that, why should anyone listen to you?

https://old.reddit.com/r/TrueUnpopularOpinion/comments/1idqiwo/as_a_nonamerican_im_done_of_leftists_in_reddit/ma14mru/?context=8

Uh the one party system is not the best proven system. Hitler banned political parties so there was only one. China has authoritarian government. It's unamerican.

Edit: I expect to see more one party system good propaganda.

Hating from outside of the club is crazy.

Especially when it's the party you love so much that's not even going to let you in.

Fascism is growing in the US and the World

MAGA is a rapidly advancing Fascist party

We all have seen the events at the inauguration and having different thoughts about what Elon did, but I want to point to what they are doing with policy rather than one moment.

Trump is an Authoritarian leader. He wants control of everything, media, education, the economy, global politics. There will never be a point where he will be satisfied.

Before you know it, project 2025 will not just be the lefts boogie man but an actual threat to our safety and civil rights.

Trump will continue to push the most radical right wing beliefs onto our country until he has full control. One thing at a time, MAGA as a party will tear down each law in favor of the rich and powerful.

MAGA thrives on misinfor.ation and the suppression of education, and it will only get worse. The more you people chose to ignore the more MAGA will take from us. First is was Row V Wade, then it will be birthright citizenship. What about marriage equality? Nothing is off the table for Trump anymore. He's made it clear, but for someone reason, his followers don't speak the same language and misconstrue the truth.

https://old.reddit.com/r/TrueUnpopularOpinion/comments/1idqiwo/as_a_nonamerican_im_done_of_leftists_in_reddit/ma153gh/?context=8

Look, I wanted trump to win the election, but it wasn't because I think he's any kind of good guy. I know he's a whiny, loser pig, though I'm appreciating this more serious Trump over his last iteration..

I wanted Trump to win because I knew we needed some conservative counterbalance back. I'm not a leftist anymore, and it's because I don't agree with all of their positions. They are not my party when they refuse to capitulate to any sort of middle ground, so they have to be forced. I hope conservatives keep it cool, too, or else I'll have to stand against them all over again.

Our politics are not half as simple as they were 20 years ago. It was easy to be a leftist when conservative Christianity was forcing people to deny their own humanity. What I didn't know is that the left is just as capable of acting the same way.

SO EVERY TIME THE FAKECELS OF !INCELS REJECT MY APPLICATION I CAN INVITE THEM TO !FAKELARPERCUTE TWINKCELS

So long and short I enjoy watching Alone, a "survival" show where a bunch of off-grid r-slurs starve themselves to win a couple of bucks. They're "Alone" in the sense they after they are dropped off they have no communication but a radio to say "halp, I am dying, please come get me" and random medical check-ups that I'm sure some insurance guy was like "yeah you need that."

So I'm browsing Netflix and I see Alone: Australia and I'm legit and decide to tune in. The last several seasons of Alone have been up in northern Canada so I'm like "cool, change of scenery, win win"

Well I'm half way thru the third episode and 3 of the 10 people have already quit. It's DAY 3.

Why did the people call to quit?

1. I miss my ugly wife and kid.

2. I can't start a fire boo fricking who

3. I'm 22 and I got covid!

Yes, that is right, in their little med-kit designated for if you chop into your leg with an ax they have Covid tests. This season was from 2023.

Other things of how cucked Australia and this version of the show is.

Some lesbo PhD felt bad about having to hook a worm to go fishing, and states "i wouldn't mind not catching a fish."

Multiple people are already dizzy from lack of food.

If they cast a line for fishing they have to sit and watch it incase they hook a platypus because it might drown and they must save it.

They can't hunt with a bow.

Told NOT to eat any forgeable mushrooms incase they misidentify

In disbelief I scrolled through to the end and at the end of this episode another cuck fricker leaves.

This isn't in the middle of the outback either, but on Tasmania, where it rains like, 200 days a year or some shit. And it's a little chilly. And plenty of trees. And nobody has mentioned a croc so probably no fricking crocs.

This season is 11 episodes plus a reunion. I don't think I can make it bros.

I just want to watch my hecko outdoor survival shit why must those down-under cute twinks be so fricking lame

Aussies explain yourselves

Post your fave substacks as of late in this thread:

DeepLeftAnalysis - Dont be fooled by the name, for much of what he writes would be reviled by a lot of people on the Left. However, I think many of those within the Red Scare cultural millieu would really enjoy his hilarious and biting social commentary.

I recently polled my people and this is what they wanted me to write about. Fortunately I can use declassified CIA documents for most of my research.

There were multiple huge crises in the Middle East in 1958 that seemed like they were going to lead the world into war. There was even a major deployment of US troops there. But you never hear about them. Why? Because there wasn't a war. I'm going to tell you some stories about what scared the heck out of everyone in the USA and the Middle East but they managed to get it under control. Think of it as the anti-Chernobyl.

Buddy Holly - Peggy Sue. Yeah, those were the days.

Syria

The first big crisis of the year, the one that got everything rolling, was Syria's admission to the United Arab Republic. Or to say it another way, Syria being annexed by Egypt. Every state in the region and the superpowers had been expecting something like this to happen eventually since World War II. Now it seemed that the balance of power had been overturned and all of the pent-up conflicts in the Middle East were about to blow up.

I'm guessing it wasn't really a 99.99% vote in favor of it because Nasser had grave misgivings about this and could barely be persuaded to.

Syria was the most failed "failed state" that you could imagine. It owes its existence to the French demand at the end of World War I that after all their sacrifices they deserved their own chunk of the Ottoman Empire. In 1946 it gained its independence but it didn't have much of a national identity other than being the land that France used to own. It was widely expected that it would soon be absorbed into a larger Arab state with Iraq and Jordan. But for extremely complicated reasons this didn't happen and little Syria survived.

Notice how everything he mentions being in "Syria" is in what we call "Lebanon" now.

Soon it wished it hadn't survived. After independence Syria had about one successful coup every two years and countless failed ones. By 1958 most of the factions had been purged from political life and it was Ba'athists who held a tenuous grip on power. They couldn't even trust their fellow Ba'athists, and worse, the Communists were becoming dangerously powerful. And nobody likes a commie. In order to make sure they didn't seize control, in January 1958 Syria's leaders came up with a creative strategy: Become part of Egypt.

One of the main factions that briefly held power there in the early 1950s was the batshit crazy SSNP. I heard the British were supporting them back then.

Egypt

This was pretty crazy but not as crazy as it sounds. There was a strong desire across the region to unite into one Arab nation. What is the heart of the Arab nation? Egypt. And its leader Nasser was the only one who could do this. Two years earlier in the Suez Crisis, Eisenhower ordered Britain and France back into their cucksheds and forbid them to invade other countries anymore. But Arabs saw this as a great victory where Nasser stood up to the colonial powers and defeated them, which at least had a kernel of truth to it. Many people across all the Arab world considered him to be their leader and were annoyed that their country hadn't joined him yet.

Some of the most extreme cope I've ever seen. British troops withdrawing in humiliation from Egypt under American orders, never to return.

The only problem is, how do you get Nasser onboard? He wants to to unify the Arabs, but he doesn't want to start out by being responsible for this basket case country that doesn't have its shit together. Eventually he agrees on a few conditions: The Syrian people have to vote for him. All political parties will be dissolved. The army will get out of politics.

The conservative monarchies are not about to take this lying down. The Saudis try to arrange a coup before unification can happen, but it is terribly inept. The King of Iraq, who kinda hoped he was gonna be the one to annex Syria and lead the Arab world, proposes merging with Jordan. It's another pro-British monarchy ruled by his brother so it makes sense in these dangerous times. The problem is, the Saudis are afraid of Nasser but they're also afraid of Iraq and Jordan getting too powerful, so they have trouble coordinating a response.

This is what the government of Iraq was like in the 1950s. I wonder what will happen to them...

The UAR

On February 22 Egypt and Syria join together as the United Arab Republic.

• The kings of Iraq and Jordan are worried that this will lead the many Nasserists among their own people to overthrow them.

• King of Saudi Arabia is too busy dealing with getting overthrown by his brother to do much.

• President Chamoun of Lebanon is extremely alarmed. The domestic situation is already really screwed up and the last thing he needs is Nasserists on 80% of the country's border.

• Israel doesn't really care since both Egypt and Syria are already hostile to them. Their only problem is if Iraq and Jordan merge because Iraq would be the senior partner and they are not fans of the whole Zionism thing.

• The British are desperate to keep alive the Arab monarchies they set up after WWI. Their whole imperial plan was to build these up and now they only have Iraq and Jordan left.

• The USA is ambivalent. Nasser is hard to deal with, but at least he kept the commies out of the region.

• The Soviets are probably as mad as Boris Badenov when one of his plots fails.

Epilogue

Nasser soon sends Egyptians to take over key government positions away from Syria. The Ba'athists are understandably butthurt as they're the ones who invited the Egyptians to come and now they're getting pushed out of power and having their newspapers shut down. The Egyptians probably figure that if these people are so incapable of running their own lives that they ask us to take over their country, they can't be trusted in leadership roles. There's also less obvious divisions, like business people being butthurt about how the Egyptians don't understand that their economy is different. These tensions were already obviously before the year was out. In 1961, a coup topples the Egyptians. Like so many others who tried to control Syria in this era, they lasted about two years.

Damascus, 1950s. According to some redditor.

ITT: Janny cries to his mopping buddies that users treat him the same way he treats them

[–]soulself 11 points 4 days ago

I think you may be engaging too much. It's easy to get caught up in fray and try to mitigate situations, but perhaps you should be more of an observer and just enforce the rules.

Nobody understands what it's like to be a mod until they live it. You are going to piss people off no matter what you do.

If you "live" being a janny you shouldn't

[–]CitoyenEuropeen💡 Skilled Helper 4 points 4 days ago

Yes, you have to escalate each report individually. No, you cannot fire them from the feed or the mod queue with your own account.

I use a very simple auto moderator script to alert the whole team when one mod is under attack, so that we can cover for each other.

is_moderator: true

report: 1

modmail: BRIGADING ALERT

You can also add your alt account to the mods. Switching accounts is faster than navigating to reddit/report in my experience.

Beware of cross-fire! When mod A files a report such as, say, HATE or HARASSMENT, and mod B hits REPORT ABUSE under the same content, AEOT bots will whack mod A.

When a janny "is under attack"

I moderate /r/veteranpolitics. As you can imagine, everything you do is a lose/lose. Unfortunately, I have had multiple reports on my account for hate based speech across the sub. You guys are more than welcome to crawl through it and make judgement, but it's just on moderation comments. I've had people putting me in a position where rule 3 is possibly being violated as well as actual hate speech that I'm removing. It's happening over multiple posts at this point and is consistent. I know it's suggested to send a report through the report feature, but do I need to send every post/comment individually or can I send a report in general. The issue is I'm at about 10-15 hate based reports so I know I'm gonna get clapped by AEO at some poi

Proof that reportmaxxing jannies works. Even if they don't get banned they spend the whole day that someone dared defy the mop
