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.

Breaking things is a lot faster than fixing them...

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Particularly when you're not interested in fixing them.

Have you ever broken an arm? A window? A car? A heart?

Fixing things takes time.

That doesn't excuse not starting when given a chance. The focus should be on establishment Dems' failures to start fixing things, not on setting some unrealistic expectation that all it would take is a snap of the fingers and bippity boppity boo.

And until they start fixing things, "fixing things takes time" holds within it the implicit lie that they're trying.

not on setting some unrealistic expectation that all it would take is a snap of the fingers and bippity boppity boo.

You're right. That's only for netanyahu's every whim.

Netanyahu's whim isn't about fixing things, more like breaking everything in Gaza, Iran, and southern Lebanon.

If you really think Gaza can be rebuilt as fast as it's been destroyed, you're going to have some unpleasant surprises whenever the world can pull itself out of this death spiral and start caring about humanity again...
