Late Stage Capitalism
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.

Hell even if you wrongly believe Obama and Biden where only using these systems for "right" Liberals seem to completely lack a material understanding of what these systems can do when expanded like that.
Obama expanded drone strikes. He used them for wrong, did it for years, and got a fucking Nobel Peace Prize for it. Fuck that guy.
Technically got the Nobel Peace Prize before all that, which makes it all the Dumber.
Trips me out that people think he's a peaceful president, I think he still has the record for the most bombs dropped during his presidency...
Over 2k drone strikes and they wonder why all the hate for America
No he got a peace prize before he fucking did anything
The peace prize was gaslighting
There's also not a lot of willingness to roll things back whenever the Republicans lose power for a time. Like, for the sake of argument, lets say Trump and his allies fail to sufficiently gerrymander or rig or cancel or just win the next couple of elections, and manage to lose control of both congress and the presidency. Does anyone really expect all those new ICE agents they hired to be suddenly fired, rather than just continue to do what they're doing without as much media attention driving public ire against them once the president isnt going on rants about deporting people all the time?
