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.

undeniable evidence russia was interfering too

I've seen some laughable and easily debunked garbage peddled as proof.
"there was 500x more comments from Russian accounts during the election about the election !!!!!!"
LOL yes a peak in activity on a world event at the time of the event is definitely suspicious.

I mean, there's a Wikipedia page with sources and everything: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_interference_in_the_2024_United_States_elections

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world -1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

LOL at Wikipedia

[–] monkeyjoe@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah Grokpedia is better here, clearly.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world -2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

LOL false dichotomy attempt.
Cheap and embarrassing.
As I said to some other conspiracy theorist on here:
Show me** evidence** from credible sources.
I'm sure this will be the last I hear from you LOL.

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Wait, it's 2026 and you don't know how Wikipedia works? Cheap and embarrassing

You just have to scroll down, and then you get to:

There are significantly more of them, too; 85 in all. So many that Lemmy doesn't let me paste them all in one comment. And this is only from the 2024 election. To quote someone insufferable:

I'm sure this will be the last I hear from you LOL.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world -1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

NYT, WaPO,etc.....
LOL those are your credible US regime sources?
Man you're a clown.
Also you're switching accounts again, Eglin Airforce Base incompetence

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Read the fucking Mueller Report. Like, actually read it.

Or is that not a good enough source either?

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world -1 points 2 hours ago

It's a US REGIME SOURCE.
Even worse than the regime press mouthpieces.
Obviously far from impartial.
And I'm not wasting my time reading all that.
But even then, If you actually read it I'm sure you can show me EVIDENCE for just one of all these claims I'm prepared to hear it.
As I asked 3 times and you failed to provide it 3 times.

How about the millions Butina Laundered through donations to the NRA that turned into record donations from them to Trump?

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

Butina

Who?

And again, you're making claims.
Show me EVIDENCE and credible sources.
Which is rarely done with these Russia conspiracy theorists

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

who?

Buddy, you're on the Internet. If you gave a single shit about the actual reality here, you would have spent the 3 seconds it takes to look it up.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

LOL
so you could provide it in 3 seconds. I can find ZERO proof since it's all BS and Russophobia mixed with slander from 1 of your cultist ass cheecks against the other.
All of you (and count how many there are) are here saying look ity up, there's proof, trust me bro, etc...
Yet facts are none of you provided any evidence on even 1 single claim.
Now I'm done laughing at you fools.
I get bored of you all parrotting your cult propaganda.
Either show me evidence or stop crying.

[–] K1nsey6@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

What you heard is valid critique of something you support and defaulted to Russia

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

I don't understand your sentence.
