A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

I already practice a 5-year cycle.
As in, I get the latest and greatest, and then use it for a minimum of 5 years or until it can no longer take the currently released OS.
And because I run with Apple, that usually means 6-7 years between phones.
Android would have cost me a hell of a lot more over the years with the same upgrade pattern. Even now, most Android phones see only 3 or so years of full OS updates (if that!!), leaving their arses flapping in the wind for every remote exploit and malware under the sun once they’re abandoned.
