RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

What I really like about it is that with the right-wing noise curbed (mostly), it's much easier to recognize the left-wing noise. And I'm not talking about the tankies; I'm referring to the traditionally "mocked by the right" "social justice warrior" kind of thing. Yeah, there's some real nutters in that world, too, and it's important to recognize that.
Word. I find it difficult to talk about capitalism here because most responses are "capitalism bad" with no afterthought, just parroting some meme. There are more nuanced opinions here than on reddit and popular social media, but not as many as there should be. And the anti-centrist memes have definitely caught on here, where trying to find a middle-ground, a place, manner and tone to talk to each other is mocked.
It's definitely better than reddit here, but it could be better.
I like it because in many ways capitalism is bad (so I sorta like to here the extreme because we are pretty close to the opposite extreme now) and socialism to. When extreme. Im way against where the us is at and I think we were to capitalistic even in the 70's. I don't think capitalism should be allowed in any case were there is no choice or for necessities and even then should be well regulated and if something has to be run privately and either has no choice or is a necessity then its going to have to be very heavily regulated.
On that specific topic, I find that many many people conflate capitalism with free markets.
