Liberty Hub: A Space for Leftists and Post-Leftists
202 readers

Anyone is welcome, not just leftists, but these are the guidelines:
- No oppressing other users (bigotry is oppression). This includes not using the r-slur (or any variation thereof).
- No defending oppressive systems such as capitalism or the US "democracy."
- No uncivil or rude comments to other users (politicians and capitalists are fair game).
- No ax murderers, serial killers, neoliberals, torturers, cops, cryptobros, debatebros, or similar.
- Discussion, not debate. It's okay to ask someone to elaborate on an idea, but most communities shout down leftists and post-leftists, and that's not supposed to happen here. This includes especially "whatabout Trump" on posts criticizing Biden.
- No genocide denial or support for genocidal entities such as IDF, ICE, the US prison system, or likewise.
- Transphobes eat my ass.
- These guidelines are meant to allow open discussion and prevent the constant trolling of leftists and post-leftists that happens in places like reddit and Facebook. Follow the spirit of these guidelines.
If you are here to learn, then welcome! Remember this is not a debate hub. This is a place to share and learn.
Other than that, feel free to share memes, text posts, articles, or other things you find edifying and helpful.
The main reason I started this is because I know it's hard to have a discussion in non-leftist spaces without constantly having to stop and explain fundamental ideas, so I hope this will give a space and a voice to anyone who's felt frustrated like me.

More importantly, that's really not a promise a president can make.
Biden can and does make promises like this that he's clearly unable and unwilling to keep, all the time. That's like, his main thing.
He's just waiting for the Supreme Court to legalise murder if the President orders it, then he'll murder all conservative justices.
Considering that he's already supporting the murder of thousands of Palestinians including children, not to mention his support for a capitalist system that leans on exploitation and death in the global south, I feel like we're already at a point where the President can order murder. It's just that a lot of us USAmericans are extremely racist and don't see these groups as fellow humans.
I mean, Obama famously droned a US citizen (and his family) in Yemen. If Congress doesn't care about the crime, you can do whatever you want.
They never care, and neither do most US citizens as long as it's the "right" people being harmed. The fact that there's more outrage over a US citizen being harmed vs. a non-citizen is a perfect example of how many of us are willing to subscribe to what amounts to a fascist ideology.
Just look how many US citizens openly support border fascism. It's appalling. And our president and his party fan those flames to win elections. So does the other party. We merely vote on which flavor of fascism we prefer.
