Late Stage Capitalism

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.

They make their apps better than us. Glory to the Chinese communist party!

You see, as long as it's China radicalizing people through social media delivered propaganda, it's totally cool and edgy.

Plus, many people have let themselves become so addicted to short form content that they are willing to slob-gobble down all of that propaganda and ~~sell~~ beg these companies to take their information without question as long as they get their Mr. Beast fix.

Maybe it'll circle back around again like fashion, irc, phpbb, and xmpp messengers becoming the new hip retro protocols.
