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.

Frankly there is a way to get me to upgrade my phone from my current one but I can garuntee that there ain't many companies making phones to my upgrade standards. But here's a list.
-Easy to swap battery where I can just pop the lid and put a new one in.
-Aux jack because I want it.
-MicroSD card slot.
-Solid CPU, Ram, Storage, Et cetera.
-Give me actual buttons at the bottom you fucken cretins, I like my textile response you lousy motherfuckers.
-If you put the button on the back I'm breaking your back.
That's all I need, ideally it'd also be modular and upgradable but I severely doubt I'm getting that anytime soon. A lot of the problem with phones is that you can't really customize them to your needs, if I could I'd have a smartphone that'd look like it's from mid 90s scifi where it'd have a big fuck you battery on it and a host of controls along the side for quick use, but noooo it all has to be overly generic hyper standardized crap. Fucken hate modern phones.
It sounds like the fairphone would fit most of your requirements except for the buttons.
The buttons are non-negotiable.
