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.

In an age where phones get seven or more years of software support theres very little reason not to use your phone until it breaks
Not just phones. Except for PC hardware that's the approach I take with everything. Why would I throw away clothing if it isn't full of holes or doesn't fit at all? And even then, there might be other alternative than just throwing them away.
There just can't be endless growth with limited resources.
I have an iPhone 10, which is now locked to iOS 18.7.
I still won’t upgrade it, because fuck planned obsolescence. This device works and works very well. If I face any software/security issues in the future I will jailbreak it. Haven’t done so thus far only for the sake of banking apps.
This is my last bastion and the phone I’ll be using for the rest of my life, or until it decays to crumbs between my fingers.
Edit: FUCK. The screen just broke. Did I just jinx it? <instant_regret.jpg>
