Late Stage Capitalism
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.

Seriously, what should I do as an individual to singlehandedly change this?
Not in a fedposting get-you-to-incriminate-yourself way, I'm genuinely asking what you expect me to do, one person out of nearly 400 million
I'm fucking trying, I'm doing everything I can in my rented apartment and my shitbox from the '90s
Who the fuck is the target audience for this on Lemmy, Europeans glazing each other because they did their imperialism before the internet existed?
You can not single handeely change this. They only way is to work together. If you havent already, find a group (ideally in person), and meet regularly. Find a project you can all work on together. Everyone needs to chip away at the hydra.
I don't think McVeigh was a terrorist. I think he was a patriot.
I'm not condoning violence. But I want to point out that Millennials first rebelled against the fed during Occupy Wall Street, and it accomplished nothing because it was peaceful. 15 years later, no amount of peaceful attempts to change things for the better has worked.
Every time there is an attempt to form organized resistance, alphabet agencies infiltrate the movement and their favorite thing to do is have one of their undercover agents begin violent protest and that lets their goons swoop in to conduct mass arrests of all the people affiliated with the movement that weren't acting out violently. Just being associated with the violent guy (who is an undercover cop) is enough to get them arrested. I think that's exactly what they did on January 8th because a number of violent protestors walked away without charges, but a lot of people who were there and just walked into the capitol building got slapped with multiple charges and are still struggling with legal battles years later.
The intelligence agencies have cracked rule by mass psychology and the above is just one tool they use to maintain control. The American mindset that "socialism is evil and capitalism is good" is another tool they use to stifle rebellion. They no doubt have agents reading this right now and are probably adding my user account to a list.
So where do we go? JFK said if you make peaceful revolution impossible you make violent revolution inevitable. But at this point I think the CIA, NSA, and FBI have basically proven him wrong. I don't see how a revolution of any kind is able to get up and running in modern day USA.
If you're interested in learning more about how they control dissent, give this documentary a watch. It's long but is really good. https://youtu.be/eJ3RzGoQC4s
Join a revolutionary socialist organization like PSL that's active near you.
I killed seven obscenely wealthy people last week and ate their flesh to redistribute their wealth. Pretty sure that's how it works. Even if it isn't, it can't hurt for us to all give it our best shot.
Okay you can't just say that online and not share recipes
Nothing to share, sadly. Obscenely wealthy humans are so rotten inside nothing can make them taste good. With the possible exception of MacKenzie Scott. I can't be sure, but I'd be willing to test. For science.
... like, without the murder. On that one. Just sex stuff. No combining sex stuff with murder and nightmares, or we will become like them.
This week, each one of you has a homework assignment. You're gonna go out, you're gonna talk to a coworker about pay. You're gonna tell to a coworker how much you get paid even if that's cringe.
Unfortunately, even thinking the word "solidarity" is grounds for termination here
