I mean this is just stunning. You literally cannot imagine that publicly voicing support for, organizing for, advocating for, and browbeating others on behalf of the team lynching one less brown kid might actually be counterproductive to the real work that needs to happen of dismantling the stadium, arresting the players, and abolishing the sport? You think it's perfectly reasonable to lend your voice, give them legitimacy, give them your time and effort voluntarily, and even attack people who disagree with that position while they are literally engaging in mass murder and somehow you think you'll be able to simultaneously build the movement that will tear the place down and eliminate it for ever?

I mean, I guess fair enough. I wouldn't work with you if that how you behaved. You can vote for whoever you want, as do I, but you won't catch me putting effort into defending these people and I wouldn't trust you to actually do the abolition work necessary if you're willing to browbeat people for choosing not to participate in the least effective form of civics related to the things that matter most.

Do you, boo. Root for them crypto-fascist mass murderers! Save that one kid while the other 50 and their parents, and your neighbors, watch you root for their murderers. If that's what you think brings about solidarity, I guess you sorta have to, right?

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.
