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, anti-communism, 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.

Maybe you do. So do I. OOP used “you” for “I”, assuming we’re all like them. They are the ones who don’t want a better world, they want the lie.
Liberals are the ones that want the lie, they want comforting lies that don't threaten the privileges the status quo affords them.
That's funny, I read this as if it were part of a conversation where the other person was making excuses for the do-nothing political party of their region.
Nietzsche wrote about it, but I think a term from the SCP Foundation sums it up nicely: some information about our world poses a memetic hazard. If you see the world clearly enough you are forever changed, and not in a good way. Knowledge is not power, it's a burden you can't put down that no one can help you with.
Nicely said. In practice just let your mind slip around it. Until such time as we start to actively fight the evil that is Advertising.
Yeah, I want a better world, don't project your pathetic bullshit on me.
If you support the oligarchy you do not want a better world
And if i don't? Do you know a lot of people that explicitly support oligarchy?
If they keep electing them and keep them in power, yes they do
Also r/im14andthisisdeep
I mean if you want to give into the abyss and burn the world down around you for shits and giggles, how are you any better than the liars and their useful idiots.
I know it's not supposed to be but that sounds like a challenge
