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.

The verses: "But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2 Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. "
How appropriate, yet not for the reason Fuckstick McSuity thinks.
I love how this is just a nothing burger. "People who disagree are bad."
Christians do love cherry picking verses to say whatever they want, with 0 context so it fits their personal agenda.
I got kicked out of Sunday school often as a teenager because I kept reading the larger context of whatever verse was on topic that day, and questioning why the lesson is going one way when the Bible verses around it make it clear it's intended another way.
Context matters. And several things modern Day Christianity, especially in the US, hold as word of their God, are straight up incorrect/unintended translations/interpretations.
The Bible verses most people I know would use to prove "being gay is a sin" are either instructions specifically to Jewish priests or (my personal favorite) they are translation errors intentionally introduced in the mid-20th. Of course pointing out any errors like this only solidifies their views about how you're evil, because you're questioning things and that's bad.
I mean I guess if someone’s going to be an expert on denying the guy, it’d be Peter.
