UPDATE: Stupidpol coup was apparently orchestrated by the :marseyglow: Alphabet People :lgbt:, not Juan GuaidΓ³ as initially reported. Perhaps stupidpol refugee crisis is the solution to the rightoid menace plaguing rdrama since the loss of pizzashill

lol, blood changed the comment sort from best to new to hide the top replies.

user closetedgay1234, an absentee mod with full privileges who hasn't been around for over a year, is buddies with blood and couped the sub; he removed several of the mods, re-instated bloodisfoul who is as much of a powertripper as gucci was, and is now requesting ownership of the sub while the mod team was still in the process of deciding who should replace gucci as head mod and how the sub's rules should be re-evaluated. closetedgay is a mod of a bunch of lgbt teen subs so you can imagine that stupidpol's anti-idpol stance and free discussion about idpol are probably going to be neutered now.

Every mod that was removed is someone who blood has a personal grudge against, including the person who had the most support for being elected new head mod. This is a naked power grab by someone who is just as terminally online and dramatic as Gucci.

Closetedgay only popped out of hiding after gucci was banned (and someone was stalking Gucci's post history and reporting everything for sitewide rule violations to get him banned for months), and in the modmail discussion over who should be the new head mod, he explicitly stated that he wouldn't use his high rank in the mod list to coup the sub after the possibility was pointed out.

The new head mod has also removed over a dozen mods already and added 17 in the last two hours. The previous way mods were added was by someone on the mod team nominating a new mod and the mods holding a debate and then vote over whether or not to approve them. There's no way they've done that in this case, they're just adding all of blood's cronies. There is no consensus building on the mod team as blood claims, even if there are votes on mod policy they'll just go the way blood wants them to after he added so many of his friends.

Inside sources say that yesterday the admins increased closetedgay's mod privileges from full (minus the ability to add or remove mods) to giving him total control over the sub. We've been antiworked.

What does it mean to be antiworked?

Referring to /r/antiwork

Stupidpol is against identity politics, so it is left wing economically while avoiding making everything about race/gender/sexuality etc.

/r/antiwork became popular using similar universalist ideas, but was taken over by identity politics. So posts would say shit like oh you don't belong here if you're transphobic, if you don't like BLM, etc, stuff that had nothing to do with the sub but just created division.

The person I quoted is worrying about similar things happening to stupidpol, which would basically ruin the point of the subreddit which is to criticize how corporations use identity politics to divide the working class

Ohhhh I see. I thought antiwork was always kind of like that so I didn't get it. That's for the explanation.

It always was to some degree, but it accelerated dramatically over time
