- Democracy, human rights, civil liberties and due process Neoliberals can be found in many political parties and we are not dogmatic supporters of specific parties. But we tend to find ourselves agreeing more often with parties that espouse liberal values, internationalism and centrist economics, such as the Democrats in the US, Liberal Democrats in the UK, FDP in Germany, Renaissance/MoDem in France, the Liberal Party in Canada, and so on. **Further reading** - I’m a neoliberal.

So are the mods on r\neoliberal just not even trying to remove all the disgustingly racist comments around the recent riots in France, then? People victim blaming a seventeen year old for being executed by the police are getting dozens or even hundreds of upvotes, for Christs' sake.
Honestly, I've been annoyed by the mods' inability or unwillingness to crack down on casual racism and sexism for a long time, but for a long time the pros outweighed the cons to me in terms of staying on the sub. And, to be blunt, there really weren't any good alternatives-- for years there, it was the only center-left forum left on reddit with any kind of activity.
Well, now there are. The subreddit mods should probably consider that, going forwards.
Victim blaming is one of the worst parts of reddit. It could literally be the most innocent person doing absolutely nothing wrong, and someone will come through and say "if the victim hadnt blah blah blah"
Its so gross.
