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 came into the thread prepared to be angry, then they said, "neglecting your child's right to food", and honestly, that's exactly what the parents are doing. If they don't want to pay for school lunch, pack one. If you want to do neither, choosing not to feed your child at all does sound like neglect, and the school is picking up the slack.
School lunch is so important for learning outcomes, lunch should be covered by tax revenue anyways. I hope we get there one day. But these parents sent their child to school knowing full well how the system works today.
I hope you get to experience why your point is wrong.
Man, I hope not. I don't wish that shit on anyone.
You're nicer than me. But some people only learn from experience.
