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.

You're naive then.
How can they engage in blatant corruption, cut cancer research, repeal environmental protections, pollute the air, water, land, and even sound waves that cause people to get sick, and forge ahead? Being charitable, they don't care about human life. It looks more like cruelty for the sake of profit, making us sick and exhausted so that we're easier divided and less likely to fight back.
They have the ideology of rapists. Listen to the billionaire commencent speakers recently, saying "you're going to get AI whether you like it or not." And who is the reason for that? Did we consent to it? Not in the least. Billionaires have built a solution and are trying to fit a square peg into a circular hole, attempting to find any problem they cam spin up.
Meanwhile, AI has largely been shown to be mostly worthless, 95% of AI pilots aren't generating anything meaningful, some reports even showing it costs 25% more than paying human workers in many cases. Yet, they press on, literally telling us that these layoffs are because of AI, or constantly pushing us to use it more and provide more and more deliverables faster and faster, regardless of quality, and then vital systems break.
You're either a bad actor or just naive friend. We are simply numbers to them. We are beneath them just as peasants were seen as beneath their lords by their lords.
