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.

MODERATORS
They were also originally called the 'Me' generation... and that's accurate. They're broadly spoiled brats, malignant narcissists. To the extent that this was surprising and unexpected, difficult to comprehend by the Silent generation and older.
Try telling a Boomer they're actually wrong about literally anything.
That's rude, to them. You're insulting them.
Because that would mean they aren't already perfect.
They'll never thank you for correcting an error.
They don't want to learn and grow, they want to be told how wonderful and smart they are and always have been.
The Boomers of the US will be literally reviled by future political historians... there's no way to be objective about what has happened, what they have done, how they squandered their immense privilege... and were so immensely arrogant while doing so... no way to comprehend it, and not be digusted.
They burned down the world.
... simply incredible.
Yep.

Closest I'll ever get to being in WW2 was playing Battlefield 1942 as a kid... and... I still can't make it through Saving Private Ryan without crying.
I've since been through traumatic shit in my own life, become a cynical bastard... but goddamnit, I still have a heart, I still feel the pain of others.
Of course I am generalizing, there are non shitty boomers... but most of them might as well be aliens in skin suits, I can describe and like academically attempt to understand them... but I am not like them, I cannot put myself into their headspace.
What in the fuck?
The mod apparently deleted all of your comments in this chain, but not mine?
