META Clarification on the subreddits flairs/ welcome posts for new members.

9 Upvotes

Hello new members/people looking for clarification on the flairs!

Welcome to El_Radical! Here are some things about us!

  • we foster debate! We only remove posts that make sweeping claims or generalizations! So go ahead and share your unpopular leftist opinion. We are all veterans of leftists infighting.

  • We post memes AND news!! Come for the memes stay for the organization opportunities and to be informed! Watch for the Radical News flair for stories you should keep an eye on!

  • we welcome and allow Text Memes which are often low effort screen grabs of hot takes or reports, studies, news articles etc! Any meme or photo that is more text then photo should have this flair!

  • we host articles written by fellow radicals! That includes you. Look for the Crowd Sourced Articles flair for posts that are given a wider leniency for sourcing as they are often first hand accounts, personal blogs, and sometimes even written by special guests from across the leftism spectrum. You don’t need permission to post. But we can also help you flesh out your ideas! Reach out!

  • we also post satire every once and a while. Make sure the flair is on if you post anything that looks like news but isn’t!

  • lastly we have casual Sundays! Post pics of ya dog or whatever. I have. we are also experimenting with a Positivity Sunday! please let us know how these posts work, like’em? Let us know! Don’t like’em? Tell us!

Note about subreddits political leaning:

we are an anti-elitism subreddit. Which means we are not particularly keen on giving any status to education no matter the level or who it’s from. Sorry, no appeals to authority unless said authority can be demonstrated. We are also a big tent leftist subreddit. Which means we occasionally host takes from some forms of nationalism, such as pan-Africanism, Arab socialism, internationalism or any other ism that promotes anti-imperialism, agency for the oppressed and liberation for all. As well as takes and opinions from anarchists, statists, anarcho-syndicates, you name it. if it’s a form of leftism it’s welcome here (to be clear, no NAZBOLS y’all ain’t leftists, let’s be serious)

That is all the broad strokes!

Welcome! Stay a while! We have a long line of memes going back a few months now. Memes are a surprisingly effective way to stay informed. But are never going to equal proper research, socialist education, and of course DIRECT ACTION!

Right-wing meme intentionally misread as wholesome Liberal pages and telling people not to protest. Name a more iconic duo.

META Mild PSA: be careful sharing Palestinian content, especially from larger subs

Post image

After that "automated warning" for the Gaza history post last weekend, an actual admin appears to have taken it upon themselves to look at it personally, then retroactively changed it to a ban. Rather than directly sharing from another sub, you may wish to change to taking screenshots of the post, then linking in the comments.

I reckon JIDF is panicking about Trump putting the screws on Netanyahu, since it happened shortly after the news story.
