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.

Corporations are people. Its an excuse to be a dick.
A person made the call to evict her, not a corporation.
A person then told her, "nothing he could do, it's out of my hands."
Then another person cuffed her and dragged her out. "Nothing he could do, he was just upholding the law."
"Wir haben das nicht gewust."
"Befehl ist befehl."
That didn't hold up in Nürnberg and it still doesn't.
Don't do evil shit. Resign. Or be evil and fucking own it. "Yes. I did that and I'm proud of it. I got my bonus, fuck that old tart."
Do not dare to hide behind "the corporation" or "the law".
You.
You did that.
And this is why corporations can continue doing the thing they do because they can absolve responsibility through individuals.
Quit being a corporate shill, there's no way anyone is this dense unless they're doing it on purpose.
It's a nice viewpoint but it doesn't actually do anything to affect the reality of this, which is that corporations corrupt and change people to do their bidding, and distribute responsibility such that it's often not just any one person who is doing this.
For example, a corporation getting you evicted from your housing for dubious reasons. There are many many people involved in that chain, most of which are not knowingly doing direct harm, including your own government who will enforce that eviction. You have to be beyond blind to not realize this.
I do not think the person you are talking to did it.
This 1000 times. People commit evil. Corporations are just the buildings they work inside of.
