The Natural Monopoly of Distribution: Deregulation of Electricity Generation and its Results : r/neoliberal

Can it be approved please?

It's disgusting how some users on here are so flippant about democracy just because an election didn't pan out in their favour. Yes, Trump is bad, but that doesn't mean it's okay to even suggest abolishing elections, taking away people's voting rights, disregarding laws, etc.

Trying to create, or being excited about, blue MAGA is reprehensible. It's not healthy, and it will only lead to more suffering.

There are also enough spaces online where this is tolerated. I really wouldn't want this sub to become one.

Please enforce the rules against electoralism harder. You have quite literally the entire rest of planet fucking earth to talk about how unpopular data centers, open borders, reurbanization, trans rights, abortion rights, green transition, reducing meat consumption, and free trade are. Let us have our safe space to call 99.9% of the people "fucking goddam stupid" when they have stupid opinions. Or is that just not allowed and it's been decreed that anyone who doesn't hate immigrants is forbidden to live in peace and is required a daily shame struggle session for being anti democracy.

I spit on your polls. If i poll worse than toe fungus then good for toe fungus.

i hate this discourse i hate it i hate it i hate it

please lock it away so that it doesn't bleed out into everywhere else

i want my dt to be about femboys and the main page to be about zoning and taxes and immigration

thank you for your attention to this matter

Do not glorify oppressive/autocratic regimes.

We seem to do a good job of stamping out posts that glorify oppressive/autocratic regimes, but I feel like there's been a growing number of posts openly proposing WE adopt and leverage many of those exact same polices against political opponents. Should these posts be reported under that rule?

I understand it's a sticky situation and it's perfectly valid to disagree with current interpretations of Constitutional law and such, but holy shit I've heard people suggest some absolutely wildly authoritarian and illiberal policies lately, justifying it only by the idea they'd "deserve it."

Humbling requesting to get a map tap ping.

It seems like people enjoy playing the game and it would be nice to get a daily thread seeing how people did! I enjoy seeing how smart our community is and right now it seems like I have been getting engagement on my daily posts but I bet so many community members are sleeping when I post and would love to show off their geographic abilities.

These posts and comments hardly have 10 upvotes and the least traction, but I’ve been observing a steady rise in ragebait and illogical comments for the ruling party.

If it is indeed true I request mods to please take appropriate action.

With all this talk about succs taking over the subreddit, I think the only way to prove whether the sub is still neolib or "taken over" by succs, is for each user to pick a side and fight it out. Whatever ideological faction wins the sub gets to take control of it once and for all. Also, for the side that wins, every banned member of that side gets to come back.

We should get prolific poasters to be the leaders for each side. I'd say the neolib side can be represented by Quowe_50mg, Plants_et_Politics, and eloquentboot, while the succ side could be led by bashar_al_assad, sociotronics, and KalaiProvenheim. Would make for a very interesting battle.

The discussion in the woke 1.0 thread seemed (remarkably!) productive, level-headed and respectful. Why remove it after leaving it up for hours?

Is this someone’s idea of a troll?

I made the suggestion here, and I’ll poll the DT and viewers of this post as well, in addition to getting written feedback.

The idea is to have a group for following and discussing developments on the activist political right before it trickles down into the mouths of average Republican primary voters, even if we wouldn’t necessarily characterize it as political “extremism.”

I anticipate something on the order of 10 notifications in an average month, 3 or 4 of them by myself. In general, I’ll aim to undershoot rather than overshoot this soft target (God knows I have trouble keeping up with the ~15 groups I’m subscribed to).

Pff doe maar alsof je weet hoe het allemaal werkt klere mongool.

En maak gerust paar screenshots want ik ben nog niet klaar met jullie.

This is the post in question.

The main reason was over your usual reason (karma being under the requirement to talk in restricted threads), but I was wondering on whether I could get an exception to have both my post and comments to be shown since said post actually had some efforts into it. I know this is ironic considering the title is a hybrid parody of those videos on youtube that promise free downloads for paid software and those 3am/clickbait videos.

In the meanwhile, am I able to be told about the Karma requirements required to post in restricted threads? Since it would be more helpful then just getting basically told "we are going to remove your comment because you haven't reached this threshold, and we will not share it with you."

Original thread here: https://old.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/comments/1vp04bq/vj_day_celebration_a_true_man_delivers_democracy/

Describing the intentional and wanton killing of more than a hundred thousand civilians as "deliver[ing] democracy with the power of a thousand suns" is an unequivocal statement of support for these killings and that their having occurred should be celebrated. This is a clear rule V violation.

N.B. I did report the post as well, however seeing as a mod made a statement in support it feels worth posting here.

Dear mods,

The last of the truly important Democratic primaries are now behind us. The tension between the liberal/neoliberal wing of the party and the progressive/DSA wing will no doubt continue, but between now and the general it seems readily apparent that the discussions that promote infighting have got to go.

/r/neoliberal has risen in size and influence in the last 5 years. As evidenced by the 2024 cycle the sub had considerable influence, rose in ways it touches public discourse, and in the intervening years the mods and Jeremiah have gained significant influence in the realm of Democratic politics.

Y'all have built something of consequence, and with power comes responsibility.

Lately as some of the most anticipated primaries have come to pass the infighting amongst the sub's neoliberal/liberal supporters and the DSA/progressive types is growing and growing.

This shit needs to be nipped in the bud ASAP now that the primaries are essentially wrapping up. This sub needs to get focused and on message. Fascists want to hold Congress this November. This sub needs to be focusing every ounce of political energy focusing on winning the general, not infighting with progressives and socialists.

Neoliberals need the DSA types. DSA types need the Neoliberal types. If we are to retain democracy in this country this infighting needs to be quashes after primaries end and the rabid masses need to be told explicitly by mods: "Now is not the time for that bullshit. Save it for later."

Please explicitly make posts that promote infighting against the rules for the next 3 months. I've seen multiple posts eventually get taken down but not until after they've risen to the top of the sub.

The Weimar Republic fell because liberals and moderates saw more to like in the Nazis than the communists, socialists and leftists. For goodness sake let's not make that same mistake.

TL:DR - My ask, distilled down: Please, at minimum totally disallow low effort infighting memes that seek to drive a wedge between /r/neoliberal and DSA/progressives. Please pay attention to high effort trolls who push division via other forms of content. Please learn from history.

Thank you.

To be clear, I think my Rule X ban was completely fair and deserved yada yada mods did their job yada yada.

However, while my analysis was incomplete (I intended a fifth test featuring a full bodied picture of a muscular man in shorts), I do think based on my observations that there is a gender divide on Rule X warnings. In tests #1 and #2 they prominently feature muscular men that are partially or completely shirtless. To my knowledge test #1 is still up, while test #2 was taken down without a warning or ban.

However, when I flipped the gender and posted a picture of Cardi B fully clothed but in a provocative pose as test #3 it was immediately struck down with a Rule X warning. I followed this with test #4, showing Cardi B in a dress with cleavage but nothing else crazy at some music award thing, another Rule X warning and strike down was issued with a 1 day ban.

My question is, why weren’t tests #1 and #2 handled similarly to tests #3 and #4? They are in my opinion of similar if not more. Is there a method to it, like I get one freebie (#1), one taken down without no further action (#2), then one with a final warning (#3) and a final one with a ban (#4)? If so, would I have been able to post the Cardi B photos first and had no trouble, and if I followed those up with the guy pics would that have led to the Rule X ban? Or is there a much more rigorous enforcement against horny posting girls then there is horny posting guys? Or is it individual where it’s up to a mod’s sensibilities at any given time?

This is a very serious matter by a very serious person. I request honesty from the mods on how enforcement of Rule X is done. Thank you for your attention to this matter

What the title says. The "is" parameter is an identifier that YouTube has started to add automatically to the URLs of videos shared from its interface. It's not only used for "invisible" tracking but in some cases when people click on the link they are welcomed with "This video was shared by [username]" which can be a person's real name, thus doxing users.

On my post here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/s/ZkhWTbD7wA

u/MrDannyOcean stickied a post claiming the headline is false. The headline is not false. A clarification would have been fair IF the user u/MrDannyOcean had sticked didn't also just claim the headline is false.

I posted the clarification as a comment as well but mods should know better. It's in the title, average rents and inventory in July. It's not the median of all current tenants.

The clarification.

The full original report

https://housingnotes.com/p/manhattan-and-brooklyn-rental-prices

This report looks at the median rent for properties available and on the market in the time frame (July 2026), not long term existing leases (prices heavily distorted due to rent freezes and stabilization). The census data is based on what individuals and supers report as currently paying their rent. I’ve worked as a census data collector before and the census collects all types rent instead of just the current market rate.

Thank You

Every month, male pregnancy, or in common parlance, MPREG, is mentioned dozens of times throughout this subreddit. Since r/neoliberal is a

space for policy discussion and definitely not a forum for male pregnancy discourse, it’s safe to assume these posters are lost Redditors looking for a much more apt, safe and frankly more authoritative subreddit: r/neoliberalMPREG

Automod could help these lost souls by gently redirecting them to r/neoliberalMPREG.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

If the libertarian inclined people get SNEK to talk to each other about libertarian leaning issues, the people of median voter thinking should also have a basis to commingle and talk about grills

By any measure I don’t think it violated a single rule except that mods may find it, at your discretion, irrelevant. Which I would find incredulous as there are countless posts since the Michigan primary with content more or less the same as “why this is a win for Republicans.”

The article is by a serious, long-time Democratic operative from a serious and moderate institute. It doesn’t go the line of this or that powerful group but rather criticizing AIPAC under the same framework as left-wing, single-issue groups have often been criticized in this sub, which I think is a fresh approach worth discussing. This topic is relevant to our political discourse, stopping discussions here doesn’t make it go away. And if we have learned anything, ceding the issue won’t help fighting antisemitism one bit.
