> My issue wasn't that it was antisemitic.
How is it antisemitic ? There is more than one person in here that thinks this.
> It's that it's political
It looks like an interesting and witty social survey of academic or general interest.
Possibly inspired by the book (not that I have read it)
> Mods at a place like /r/undelete should be ....
This stinks of a pathetic witchhunt based on a lack of comprehension skills. There is a "Conflict of interest" argument regarding the moderation of /r/politics but this thread, at best, just seems like a misunderstanding.
If you want to read about some interesting fuckery during this period in South America, and other 3rd world countries, read The World Was Going Our Way https://www.amazon.com/World-Was-Going-Our-Way/dp/0465003133
this is the follow up to The SWord and the Shield, another great book.
> Not really; Alexis said he was interested because of stratfor's "coverage of the Balkans". Ridiculous.
Why is that rediculous? Stratfor really got on my radar because of Robert Kaplan's coverage of the Indian Ocean region is his book Monsoon. His book Balkan Ghosts is far more famous and noteworthy (it was influential during the Clinton Administration) so it makes complete sense that Alexis, if he was interested in the Balkans, would have picked up on Stratfor from Kaplan's Balkan writing.
Here is a book for you to read partner. It'll give you something to think about.
This is the message I just sent to the admins
------
I remember when /u/Spez came back and did his big AMA, one of the big questions was about moderators abusing power. Then /u/Spez just did another AMA and the two biggest questions were in regard to moderators being abusive.

Now we have a huge mass shooting. And the mods at /r/news are silencing discussion and conversation about it. It's absurd.
I actually woke up, 830 CT, checked Reddit, saw nothing out of the ordinary, started cooking breakfast. My girlfriend woke up, checked CNN and told me about the shooting. I re-opened the Reddit app and scrolled and scrolled and scrolled. Went to /r/News finally and saw that nuked thread. Went to /r/all and of all the god damn subs on Reddit, it's /r/the_donald leading the charge in reporting news.
Is this what you imagined Reddit to be? I certainly never thought it would come to this. For the last 5 years, I've always come to Reddit when events like this happen, because Reddit gave me the best perspective. Locals, professionals, lay people who are smart as hell: all gathered together, bringing their knowledge to bear on a situation. Reddit embodies one of the key lessons in the book Superforcasting—groups are smarter than individuals. Reddit live threads and megathreads have been amazing. /r/news and /r/worldnews have been, in the past, places that left mainstream media in the dust.
But today was an ugly day. Today was Reddit at its worst. Corrupted.
I hope you all take this seriously and send a message that moderation like this won't be tolerated. I recommend you remove every single one of the /r/news and /r/worldnews mods. Start fresh. That may take more work, but it's the healthiest choice you can make. Mods like this are legitimately a cancer. If you leave them alone, they will fester and continue to wreak havoc on the body "in toto".
Whether you all like it or not, Reddit has become a political tool. It's become a business tool. It's become a marketing tool. You've created something amazing that helps shape the world. But it's also shaped by the world. And, just like a gun, there are people who would use Reddit in evil ways. It's time to stop ignoring the issues with moderators and moderation. People with selfish interests have, overtime, worked their way into key moderation positions in reddit. Mod abuse is real. And mod abuse is something that will wreck your site, that will leave Reddit a hollow shell of what it began is, what it was, and what it could have been.
Please, do something. You're our only hope.
