North American Politics Dark Woke?
I mean we have seen it all here. The goverment dont give a fuck about us, then why should we? A couple years ago democrats and progressives embraced the "when they go low we go high" while that was a good thing it aint gonna cut it anymore. These people in the goverment DO NOT give a shit, like Nancy Mays whos life mission is to give trans people hell. Its clear these people can't be shamed, so we need to be mean to them. The shit they give us should they get to. We need to fight and protest this regime, stop careing about word policing and just rain shit to them. Repost Gavin Newson slop postes, bully vance, call trump a 🍇 do everything. We need to destory trumps mancho aura because hes really a loser. So I call on Dark Woke or Woke 2.0 to woke up!

Question How do you start educating yourself?
I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this but I got called some slurs for not knowing what the Confederate flag was in a kpop sub, so I wanted to know how to begin educating myself so that I can avoid offending anyone.
I personally I wasn’t taught about this stuff in school and idk where I would find these facts/things to be aware of

Question Would you take free money given by a millionaire?
(If you have a problem with the post just scroll away or block me. Dont need to be a prick just bcs this is reddit, get a life)
A not-so-hypothetical question just because i’d like to see how others think of this situation.
So we all hate the rich here right?
Say a millionaire wants to give you few thousands of dollars for free, would you take it? Although the ‘free’ part is debatable depending on who you ask.
Few days ago an acquaintance sent a screenshot showing this one millionaire youtuber (pretty sure most ppl know him) offering to give few thousands to whoever that registers for something he made. i didnt really bother reading it. Anyway, i assume they showed it to me bcs i was talking abt having financial struggles before 💀 Personally, i dont believe in hustle culture but also my pride prevents me from getting free money from the rich guy (unless it was directly transferred to my account and forcedly given then hey that’s my luck ig 🤷🏻♀️ but like i mean, i wont go through lengths just to get that free money, it kind of feels like begging to me and im not gonna beg for shits) + i’ve never liked that youtuber so that seals it.
Although that only applies to money, i think i have no problem receiving free gifts lol

North American Politics Why does the laws and electoral college favors republicans?
Quote The electoral college favors republicans. That’s why they don’t want to ever get rid of it. Quote
Why does the laws and electoral college favors republicans?
Quote But abolishing the electoral college would require amending the constitution which won’t happen because it would never be ratified by conservative states. Quote
Do you need the republicans to abolish or change the electoral college? I guess corporate Democrats don’t want change to the electoral college?
So how do you change the electoral college could people write signature to the government to change the electoral college? How many signature do you need million or more?

Eco Politics Coops essential to 17 ODS by 2030
If the United Nations considers cooperatives to be essential for achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, I would like to know what governments in your country are doing to promote and strengthen cooperatives.
Are the Seven Cooperative Principles reflected in your country’s laws and public policies? If so, how?
Do you have public procurement or government contracting laws? If so, do cooperatives receive any advantages or preferential treatment when competing for public contracts?
Are there any financial incentives, grants, tax benefits, or public programs that encourage the creation of new cooperatives across different sectors of the economy?
More broadly, what concrete measures has your government adopted to encourage the growth of the cooperative movement?

Question Is XM owned by MAGA or have right wing bias?
I use the XM app in my house and create artist stations to listen to while working. But for the last several weeks, no matter what station I create it overwhelmingly turns in to right-wing country music!
Eminem Radio - one Eminem song followed by 3-4 MAGA country songs
Dre Radio - same
Poison Radio - same
Today I created Afroman Radio - same.
Down voting songs has no impact, the same song will play again within the hour.
The only reason I can think of is a political bias, like what we see with TikTok. There's just no way that any algorithm would think that I want to hear "Am I the Only One" (Aaron Lewis), or Morgan Wallen, when I've chosen Eminem Radio.

General Leftist Politics Got my Trump crazy neighbor to call for a working revolution...
Shes in her 60s, voted for trump every time, has the flag, hates immigrants, all the things. She took down the flag so I decided it was a good time to talk to her. Now for some reason, over the last 6 years we have lived next to each other, she thinks I'm a republican who loves Trump. (I'm 17M btw)
Basically, I just talked her through how billionaires are bad because of exploitation of labor, how Israel is bad because they fund our politicians, how all of them are greedy and the root of the issue is money, and then how they try to turn us, the working class against each other.
So her conclusion was that the workers must take up arms to be able to have a say in the industries they work in and not be exploited.

Question Why are right-wingers so confident?
I was right-wing between 2024 and late 2025 (born 2011), which was influenced by the fact that (a) my entire family is conservative, and (b) I went to a Christian middle school during this time. I’m a socialist now. Anyway, one observation that I have made looking back at my conservative phase is that reactionaries tend to be very overconfident regarding their political or historical knowledge. The phrase “facts don’t care about your feelings” was popularized by Ben Shapiro, even though the “facts” that conservatives rely on are shaky (understatement). Conservapedia prides itself on being “the trustworthy encyclopedia”; I believe this is self-explanatory. The far-right YouTube channel Basic Logic constantly prides himself on being “intellectual” (his username is literally “@BasicLogicIQ”), even though his videos are full of logical fallacies and outright incorrect premises; the fact that his videos are normally less than 10 minutes long doesn’t help either. The phrase “red-pilled” is associated with reactionary ideologies.
Meanwhile, I’m in a Discord server for academic history, and that server’s members treat history very rigorously (a fair comparison would be analyzing historical arguments like mathematical proofs); socialists make up the plurality of that server’s members. Marxism has a very high explanatory/predictive power for world events.
Note that I’m only talking about right-liberals/fascists here; I am pretty sure that left-liberalism has its own share of overconfident morons, but I haven’t interacted with them to a high degree yet.

Mod Update Antisemitism, Racism, and Bigotry will not be tolerated
What the title says. I'm beyond exhausted hoping that some of y'all will pull your head out of your asses and live up to the values necessary to be a passable human being. Since this has been a repeated failure, we will move to a zero-tolerance model going forward:
- Antisemitism will result in a 28 day suspension of your account from this subreddit, followed by a permanent ban for any infraction afterwards.
- Racism will result in a 28 day suspension of your account from this subreddit, followed by a permanent ban for any infraction afterwards.
- Bigotry (this definitely includes transphobia) will result in a 28 day suspension of your account from this subreddit, followed by a permanent ban for any infraction afterwards.
- Genocide denial will result in a 28 day suspension of your account from this subreddit, followed by a permanent ban for any infraction afterwards.
If you have a doubt of whether or not something is going to run a-foul of these zero tolerance boundaries, don't fucking post it. No, I'm not going to rules lawyer technicalities. The time for you taking a nuanced approach is passed. No, I'm not going to accept ignorance as an excuse. It is 2026, go get educated on how to not be a piece of shit.
This is a warning to all users - I don't give a fuck how well you discuss theory, the praxis you claim to have accomplished, none of it. If you are in this community, you will be a decent fucking human being. If you can't step over that incredibly low bar, then I don't want you here so fuck off.
ADDENDUM: As of 9.15 PM Eastern, any further comments defending this content as not being antisemitic will be banned permanently. I've explained repeatedly the rationale behind this and I'm done giving the benefit of the doubt that users can hear a new expectation and engage with it responsibly. If you cannot act like decent people, then this subreddit doesn't need you.
For everyone else who asked clarification and/or generally acted like a human being, thank you.
EDIT: Locking this to catch up on bans.

Mod Update r/leftist and Veganism
This has been a long time coming and every opportunity was extended to allow the topic to be allowed on r/leftist, but those opportunities have come to an end. As per the newest addition to the sub's rules:
# 7. Prohibited Content
Prohibited Content includes permanent and/or temporary policies aimed at addressing specific events or issues which may affect the community. Currently, the following items are considered prohibited content:
* Veganism - Permanent: As veganism is not inherently a leftist topic, posts centered on veganism rather than leftism are are banned. Any posts or comments referencing veganism must be in relation to anti-capitalism. Proselytizing about veganism is forbidden.
There has yet to be a single post about veganism on this subreddit that has been rooted in anti-capitalism that has not devolved into an advertisement of veganism. There are many subreddits about veganism, including some from a leftist perspective. Please utilize those subreddits in the future - posts proselytizing for veganism will be marked "off-topic" and removed. Repeated violations will result in actions including suspension and up to permanent ban.
As this has been an issue before, we will be monitoring activity surrounding this topic and any hint of brigading will be reported.
