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.

Mueller (that's his name, btws, he's not German) is probably a bad person to use, mostly because he was a Republican, but also because I'm not sure which silence you mean: The Clinton emails or like, the rampant corruption from Trump? Because those are both unrelated to charges being brought forth, since the email thing was still being investigated for more than a year afterward, and the Mueller Report took a couple years? Garland (who was also a Republican) also took years. These are all multi-year long investigations, you need to bring up something faster, buddy.
As I said elsewhere, it's extremely relevant as policy needs to be viewed as a continuum.
And you didn't use a continuum. You used two examples. Where are the other examples in America that show this? Can we look at how long Watergate took? That seems a pretty resounding example because it took years for that one too.
This is why the United States public sits by with handwringing and zero action. Every admin since Nixon has been to the right of Nixon. Socially left and economically right is just right with a few concessions. They fragment, lie, white/pink/green/rainbow/sanewash our history, our education, our politics, our economy, our personalities, our health, our lives so that people think they are very clever and pay attention to garbage they shouldn't, and view things to which we should give heavy attention via a fragmentary lens. And this is why fascism will win, here
Eta: the continuum is all over Lemmy, if you cba
Hm, that is a pretty self-defeating attitude, and it kinda infers that instead of debating online that you should be out there fighting the system. I kinda agree with you, so I think your efforts are better off elsewhere.
If you want, I agree that it shouldn't be like that. So, I will just concede the argument, because I would rather we do better together than have you think that I like it that way or something. Is that fair?
It's self defeating on you, not me. Yeah as soon as I recover from a serious injury for which I am somewhere in between paperwork and approval, I'll be back out there.
I mean, I did just concede the argument, so I guess that's true. Regardless, I'll still be out there with you.
I look forward to it.
