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.

There's sharing resources and then there's being a dick.

In any case talking in this way to kids is basically indoctrination as they don't have the resources to fully understand.

A dad should teach them universal values such as understanding and compassion and when they'll be adult they can choose for their own. The problem for these people is that if you teach compassion to your children it's unlikely they'll turn out to be Maga as their parent.

another problemcis - to teach something, you should know / understand it first.

Shitty people raise shitty people.

That's where the introspection and emotional work (and therapy) we should all be doing as adults comes in. To unlearn the (childhood/generational) traumas that we picked up from our parents, friends, and society and try to become better people.

But that shit is hard and uncomfortable to actually do, thought terminating cliches and bigotry are easy, so here we are.

It's awesome how stupid people who have no education can spread their thoughts. /s

[–] Zink@programming.dev 14 points 1 week ago

What sucks is that they are really good at spreading it because they speak very confidently.

This guy's speech comes out of a premise so moronic that any answers trying to correct it will only lead to a moronic conversation.

I mean, the guy thinks socialism is about stealing candy... What kind of conversation can you infer from that?

Ah yes, the famous socialist concept of ultra rich CEOs and shareholders. Damn you, Karl! We could have lived in a capitalist utopia if you didn't invent that cancer.

I cannot wait to watch Musk wear a blindfold while his sentence is read VERY LOUD to him. It WILL happen.

I'm sure people said the same about the robber barons a century ago. Sadly they all died of old age surrounded by luxury. I'd like to think justice has caught up a bit, but... well, ruthless rich fucks have been dying of old age in luxury for a long time.
