I found this interesting. I wanted to test it a bit so I set my username to LeninLives and got it reset due to breaking community guidelines. I also set my profile bio to the same. Also got removed. Apparently I'm now banned from setting a profile description or username now, permanently, and my username has been reset and my profile bio removed.

So that's uh...neat. I had heard that they go out of their way to aggressively censor any political messaging and I guess referring to Lenin counts? I was surprised honestly I don't even think Reddit would ban you for that.

Anyone have any insight into this? Anyone else have any weird experiences like this on XHS already?

could not figure out what comm to put this in

We need a general strike in the USA. Let's make a list of demands, pick a date, and threaten to withhold our labour and crash the economy on that date unless the demands are met. Organize general strikes across multiple industries, boycott anti-union companies, maybe even do bank runs and deliberate attempts to crash the stock market and weaken the US dollar. Get the campaign to trend and go viral on other online platforms. Organize concerts and art fairs to raise money for strike funds to support the striking workers.

here's my ideas for demands to start

Demands:

1. Medicare for All
2. 4-day work week
3. $15 minimum wage
4. Unionize Amazon, Walmart, and Starbucks

good strike dates:

• may 1 - international workers' day
• july 4 - independence day
• sep 1 - labor day
• nov 28 - black friday

I'm sure everyone's heard about Musk's salute by now but this counts as this week's essay so here you go. We go a bit into why the ADL defends him. I think it's interesting but I'm biased of course :)

The fuck. It's behind a paywall so I'll never know.

Folks, you are not going to believe who just followed me on bluesky, my money problems are over!
