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.

Nope. Netanyahu is concerned that he might get arrested if he loses his government coalition and Trump is concerned that his base will abandon him over the Epstein files.
That's it, that's the reason.
I think it may be part of the reason for Trump, but Iran's oil reserves and military control over the straight of Hormuz is probably an even bigger reason. US clearly wants to control as much of oil supply as it can to keep the dominance it has over the rest of the world.
Everyone should be building renewables and nuclear like crazy right now, because the alternative is slavery to the empire.
FTFY.
Literally anything is better than coal, oil and gas. Renewables are the cheap option to produce energy when possible, and nuclear is insurance for base load in case we never quite figure out grid storage at scale.
