Liberty Hub: A Space for Leftists and Post-Leftists
222 readers

Anyone is welcome, not just leftists, but these are the guidelines:
- No oppressing other users (bigotry is oppression). This includes not using the r-slur (or any variation thereof).
- No defending oppressive systems such as capitalism or the US "democracy."
- No uncivil or rude comments to other users (politicians and capitalists are fair game).
- No ax murderers, serial killers, neoliberals, torturers, cops, cryptobros, debatebros, or similar.
- Discussion, not debate. It's okay to ask someone to elaborate on an idea, but most communities shout down leftists and post-leftists, and that's not supposed to happen here. This includes especially "whatabout Trump" on posts criticizing Biden.
- No genocide denial or support for genocidal entities such as IDF, ICE, the US prison system, or likewise.
- Transphobes eat my ass.
- These guidelines are meant to allow open discussion and prevent the constant trolling of leftists and post-leftists that happens in places like reddit and Facebook. Follow the spirit of these guidelines.
If you are here to learn, then welcome! Remember this is not a debate hub. This is a place to share and learn.
Other than that, feel free to share memes, text posts, articles, or other things you find edifying and helpful.
The main reason I started this is because I know it's hard to have a discussion in non-leftist spaces without constantly having to stop and explain fundamental ideas, so I hope this will give a space and a voice to anyone who's felt frustrated like me.

MODERATORS
I believe that in our modern age of supposed reason, certain biases from the old way of doing things remain. Perhaps they are human nature, or perhaps they are simply the result of our post-roman culture. But either way, there is a massive tendency within our society for people to expect doctors to do ALL the jobs that priests and witch hunters once did. We no longer believe that autism is caused by the fey stealing babies, and we do not believe in possession by evil spirits either. We believe in scientific medicine instead. But for some reason, we expect scientific medicine to let us act exactly the same as those old myths. We want to believe that mental disorders from the DSM possess people with the spirit of evil and justify lynchings. We want to believe that people with NPD are essentially vampires - inhuman, predatory, corrupted by unforgivable sin. We want to believe that science and medicine can show us wickedness and sin, and tell us who to kill for being different. Superstition didn't go away, it just changed its face.
