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
The lack of training is by design in the US. They want dumb bullies, not competency.
This is not hyperbole, or exaggeration, or an unfounded guess, or an uncharitable interpretation, none of that.
The practice of excluding candidates for scoring too highly had to be defended before the US courts of appeals at one point, and successfully was. Like 30 years ago now.
So yeah, police fought, using the court system, for the protection to do exactly what you're describing.
Combine that with the ruling that they have no legal duty to even try to protect anyone, and events like Uvalde seem a lot more predictable. How anyone thinks they're here for our benefit is wild.
