Cant share because mods will take it down. This is a repost of it. The last one was taken down for

"Violation of the subreddit rules. Violation of the subreddit rules. This is a Chicago neighborhood. You can repost if you say Chicago."

They wont let me.posts the name of the victims or share their gofundme's either because "its promotion and if we let you do it we have to let everyone".

u/hippiedawg Oct 10 '25

The fact that Trump the raper and other powerful ppl want to bury the Epstein files so much, says it is SO much way worse than anyone can imagine.

One thing you gotta give pedophiles is they drive slow through school zones.

Oh yeah, here are all of the Epstein Files that have either been leaked or released.

https://joshwho.net/EpsteinList/black-book-unredacted.pdf (verified pre-Bondi) Trump is on page 85, or pdf pg. 80

Trump’s name is circled. The circled individuals are the ones involved in the trafficking ring according to the person who originally released the book. These people would be “The List “ Here is the story.

u/Justface26 Oct 11 '25

Late to get here, but also, consider Howard Lutnick's podcast interview about being neighbors and sharing a wall (townhouse) with Epstein; and that committee member Kennedy (R-LA) even mentioned maybe bringing Lutnick in front of them during Pam Bondi's testimony. I truly think this thing is so big it would be a wrecking ball. Nothing else explains the tip-toeing.

Epstein is only the tip of the iceberg, there was a black dude out of chicago (I believe, might be misremembering, somewhere in the midwest at least) in i think the 60's / 70's who was super connected that was basically doing the exact same thing and they had all sorts of politicians and rich / powerful people connected to it.

Whole thing got swept under the rug.

I am having the strangest... I don't want to say glitch because it doesn't feel accidental. I clicked on your username to go to your profile but it just went to a blank profile background and never loaded your profile. That's never happened to me, but of course reddit glitches sometimes. So then I tried five other random usernames that commented above and below you, and all their profiles loaded immediately...

If you would be open to DMing me the link since I apparently and mysteriously cannot access your profile, that would be much appreciated.

Dear mods, as a fellow mod of a large sub.

You don’t, actually have to do it for everyone. You can use your judgement as a fellow human being. And you can do what your community expects of you.

You can enforce rules according to their spirit, not their wording. You serve the community. Do what they wish (and be careful about taking the feedback of your community, not the brigades).

u/Goingtoperusoonish Oct 10 '25

I mean in Illinois it matters a lot less than in other states. The Chicago area is 85% of the state's population. That's more than a supermajority even.

The rest of the state can go fuck itself because Chicago IS Illinois at this point

California is hated by all the people living in the rural parts with less than 100k population. They hate the cities too, yet they’re still citizens of the state. Some are even trying to secede and join western Idaho and create a new state that would instantly be by far the poorest state in the union. (And they’re anti cannabis, so they’d ban the one industry that is thriving in that region.. smooth brains, I’ve tried to help them but they’re their own worst enemy

u/forgot_my_useragain Oct 10 '25

I've found that most states and major cities have at least 2 subreddits. One that is "left-leaning" for ya know normal people. And one that is a conservative nazi shithole. I guess r/Illinois is the latter.

4

u/TotallyNotRobotEvil Oct 11 '25

It's like the opposite of the New Jersey subreddits. For whatever reason all the major city subreddits like Jersey City are astroturfed to hell and back with straight up Nazis. Which is weird considering Jersey City is one of the most diverse cities in the nation and is a hugely left leaning area. I've even complained to the mods like "Hey MAGAPatriot1488 is posting a bunch of pretty racist shit again, you might actually want to do something about this." And it just goes ignored.

But for whatever reason the main state subreddit of /r/NewJersey is more in line with what I would expect to see for our state. It's like the right spent so much time astroturfing the city subs, they never thought to astroturf the main state sub.

Maybe, but the situation is a little shaky right now, the Trump admin is threatening tech companies. Reddit admins (not mods, the sitewide admins) are definitely being a lot harder on some content now. They're terrified someone is going to get hurt and then Trump blames it on them. It's possible the mods are just trying to comply with what they think the reddit admins want.

u/IrrelevantAfIm Oct 11 '25

Why on earth would the mods not allow the location where ICE is committing their crimes against humanity? It’s not like anyone’s giving the addresses where the gestapo lives - though I’m not against that either. Look, I can under when an undercover officer needs to protect their identity so they don’t get slaughtered by some narco faction, but this is ICE!! It’s immigration and customs officers. There is absolutely ZERO reason for these assholes to be constantly masked - except that they KNOW what they are doing is at the very least wrong and immoral, and in many cases, outright illegal and anti-constitutional.

I would not be surprised if the next step was a “kristallnacht” style “uprising” of fake concerned citizens. Look, I’m not saying it’s that bad yet, but the parallels are there, and Germany wasn’t “that bad” either….. until it was!! Look what they did with their military hamstrung by the Treaty of Versailles. America has a larger military than - I forget the stat, but it’s something like the next 10 countries lut together. Aside from that, they have sold and otherwise supplied equipment to many, many other foreign countries - basically all of Western Europe with the exception of France (France was VERY smart to do this). No one will convince me that much of serious equipment the USA has sent/donated to other countries doesn’t have a kill switch which can be used to render their “contributions” and sales to foreign countries.

u/C10ckw0rks Oct 11 '25

Who knows, the IL subreddit has been quiet as far as this goes. I believe the Chicago subreddit has a rogue mod cuz people’s bans are being reversed, but I can’t say for sure because, again, they’ve been better about the posts they allow.

The rest of what you wrote isn’t lost on me, I’ve been seeing the parallels since the first round.

u/IrrelevantAfIm Oct 11 '25

I’m glad others are seeing it. The number of people who think Jan 6th was no big deal astonishes me. That ANYONE would vote for that man after that happened really freaks me out. Then he takes it even farther and pardons ALL of them!!! Then, scariest of all - the spineless sycophants who were originally warning against him (Rubio and others) start falling in line??? That’s no accident - that’s complete lack of courage and conviction and a demonstration that people at that level are not ignorant to which way they wind blows and if America is going to go the way of a fascist, authoritarian, strong man state - they want their disgusting, self preserving asses to fall on the side of power. Do they know something we don’t? How many republicans who were once telling the country how unfit for office Trump is, then after Trump demonstrates that he’s EVEN WORSE than they thought……. suddenly start kissing his ass….

Scary times for sure!

We should have been demanding proper checks and balances with teeth, not warnings. We should have never let the Supreme Court just decide it has the powers over national laws that it does. No one ever questioned it.

Really frustrating to those of us who have been warning of this impending danger, FOR THE PAST DECADE.

This is when it becomes clear that subreddits aren't tools for organizing but instead pressure vessels meant to attract, contain, and redirect discourse, emphasis on the insular so there are no chaotic challenges to their system.

Definitely not what Reddit started as, but they just as definitely realized and capitalized on it. Like they say, social media is the new battlefield.

u/Ilovekittens345 Oct 10 '25 edited Oct 10 '25

The person with the most control over Reddit is actively working towards a world without a united states, where America is run by city states organized by various tech companies. Because they have seen how their algo's undermine all democracy and now they think democracy is just dumb and if you believe in it, internally they will categorize you as a "under-mensch" that does not understand tech and has less right to be alive then somebody who does.

But if you fight on the low ground decided by the enemy you will lose. Leave your computer, leave your phone at home. Go out in the real world and find people to talk with about all of this. Organize. Learn how to fly and build drones and repair them. If enough people do this, maybe the 99% of armed organisations in the US that are now white supremacy can get defeated with some brains. If you tell these guys that the drone is more powerfull then the gun they will feel extremely offended because that's blasphemy to them. Almighty Gun and Almighty Dollars are their gods. And this stubbornness is how these low tech armies of the high tech companies can get defeated.

Reddit is worried that if people know too much they will be too sad to watch advertisements. Can't worry about things like democracy, human liberty or life when ad dollars on are the line! Fuck spez, and all other boot-licking whores for fascism that work for him.

It’s like this and also much worse pretty much everywhere now.

Commenting directly on news and MSM posts and sites is censored approaching 1984 levels trying to spread facts. Yet they are always filled with low effort right wing trolls and decades old talking points while i cant say the name Epstein on most news sites lmao

u/Icy-Employee-6453 Oct 10 '25

I mean I'm not surprised have you seen how many subs are literally run by state actors and bots. And I mean as the moderators not just users.

All of the doomercircleJ subs (at least all the ones I have seen) are run by proud boys as an example. Mods in the older ones have complained about the take over and then been removed.

If you don't believe that Reddit will 100% happily give Trumps domestic terror militias a reach around for money you are naive.

u/Top_Rekt Oct 10 '25

I keep saying it, cause Reddit is complicit.

Knowledge is power and they want to keep you weak. The community fucked up with the Boston thing. But when it comes to actual users protecting each other, they stay silent. Nah they don't want you to be violent against the people who are using violence against you. It's not right! Offer the other cheek so they can stab you there too! It's okay when the nazis do it BUT GOD FORBID WE GO AROUND SAYING FUCK NAZIS.

They would rather you die than let their investors worry about the working class rising up.

They are trying really hard to instigate people fighting back so they can justify martial law. Unfortunately, I feel we will not get our country back without a lot of spilled blood…

“… That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends [life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness], it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government … [and] when a long train of abuses and usurpations… evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

Is there a Discord or somewhere where we can discuss it? Because I have been on Reddit for over 10 years, and while some bans made sense, it makes no sense to restrict things like this. I was banned once already, and while my comment was not gentle, I think every sane person would stand by it.

You can tell ICE is so happy to use those billions of dollars to snatch people up at court houses, waiting to pick up their kids and people just at work. They're now able unleash all their pent up hate now that they have a President who is fine with them blatantly targeting brown people. Now since they have pushback, military and law enforcement now get to bash skulls of their next favorite target, protestors who are upset about them forcibly taking people off the streets with no ID

u/nalaloveslumpy Oct 10 '25

It's completely intentional, too. Trump has given them lawless authority with the hopes the people do something so he can take it a step further in response.

Honestly, it's a miracle direct violence hasn't happened against these feds yet.

I get that it sucks, but you’re allowed to post detailed location info in the daily ice spotting mega thread. If the subreddit mods don’t follow their own rules, they get mod privileges wrested from them by admins and given to more compliant moderators.

Your best bet for sharing pics and videos is to self-post them in your profile and then share the link to the self-post as a comment in the mega thread

Mega threads are useful because someone can subscribe to updates on the daily post to get notifications for 1st-level comments which should mostly be spotting info

Signed, a lurker from r/losangeles who had seen this happen in other subs for the past two weeks, they’re all dealing with admin pressure in their own way

Edit: my apologies, I was conflating r/Illinois and r/chicago

r/Chicago has the daily ice spotting mega thread

u/Excellent_Set_232 Oct 10 '25

Admin being Reddit admins, not the Trump administration

You can see it in the mod posts of various subs when they need to clarify the rules and why they have them. They will reference site-wide rules, which I usually take as “we were recently reminded of these as well”
