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.

Nice can you back this up with any evidence?
I provided evidence to a sub comment.
You want evidence? Isn't the fact that the formula is all locked up with signs threatening prosecution a pretty good clue?
This is the insane claim being parroted, not that they're being stolen in the first place.
Its not being parroted. I’ve worked at retail stores and witnessed it firsthand.
Here are some additional sources.

A simple web search of “shoplifting ring baby formula” yields dozens of results.
Please do some basic research before calling someone’s experience “insane”.
Sometimes all you need is to think your way through by reasoning. Some things are self-evident.
Ah, so no evidence? Thats the difference between a fact and a well reasoned guess. So we're making up stories to suck the toes of CEOs now on here, cool.
You've gotta have some faith in your ability to think. There is no evidence that the sun will come up tomorrow, but the world keeps spinning. If I sip on a Slurpee, but don't have a receipt, do you believe your eyes, or do you need the receipt? By the way, pretty well all of Science is based on well-reasoned guesses, then the move towards the truth of the guess is refined over time. Confirmation of facts is a good thing, but not always necessary, according to the universal "walks like a duck" rule. As far as sucking on toes? That says more about you than it does about evidentiary verification.
Maybe simply explain your reasoning for people who don't come to the same conclusions as you.
Might be a good idea if I'm having a debate. I'm just internet quipping, nothing more.
Then you may want to signal your shitposting somehow if it's in a serious discussion instead of implying everybody is somehow stupid for not following your reasoning.
The sun doesn't revolve around the earth FYI. My eyes indicate you're a dunce, must be true!
I was wondering if you'd latch onto that and ignore everything else. Maybe we're testing each other.
It's called Critical Thinking Skills, and they should be the absolute top priority in public schools. You can always look up facts on the phone in your pocket, we need Citizens who can THINK properly.
