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.

She's 90 years old, it's a safe conclusion that the taxpayer was already paying for her medical care via medicare and she was already released (from jail) and the charges were dropped (as has been pointed out elsewhere in this thread). The original comment just made up the cost to farm outrage, and it's fucking ridiculous they felt the need to do that on a post about a 90 year old being evicted.
I know it's rough to see propaganda you agree with called out, but that's what's happening here. That people are reacting as though I'm devaluing or excusing this travesty, I'm not, is the reason I'm doing it - even propaganda you agree with poisons the discussion. Hell, to my eye the cost to throw an ancient woman out of her housing being so incredibly cheap should really make this story all the more disgusting, as it highlights how cheap human suffering really is.
