It’s a mixed bag. Many of them focus too much on policing the rules as strictly as possible and lose sight of the spirit of the community. They are a necessary evil in my opinion, but they shouldn’t be appointed with zero accountability as they currently are. Elections and community votes to remove mods that abuse their power should be more common.

Sometimes you have to fucking do something. We can’t make big changes overnight. Start small. Organize soup kitchens in your community. Or a community garden. Or start holding party meetings and recruiting people to the cause. And stop making excuses for “leftist” murderers just because they’re “leftist”.

No, in uneducated American circles you would be correct but in actual political discourse a leftist is truly a leftist. A liberal is an American “leftist”.
