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.

I'm not american (thankfully). But if I were, and I had a terminal illness, I'd suicide bomb a health insurance headquarters on my way out. Because fuck it...I'm dead anyway.
True. And then you dont have to worry about facing the cops/legal system cause y'all both be dead. And its better than dealing with an illness where the end result is death. Its on your own terms!
I'm honestly surprised more old people don't go out removing problems.
___Greedy old fucks are the reason we are in this mess.
it seems to be a generational thing. that generation which is old now isnt radicalized like some of the younger folks will be by that age.
Boomers are a bunch of coddled pussies that had the softest easy mode lives handed to them. They were pandered to as a generation and pulled the ladders up behind them at every step of the way. I hoped that as they died off as a voting block we would finally be able to make real progress as a society,. But the sociopaths they put in power know that they'll never win on policy, and so fascism and putting an end to democracy is their only way to avoid consequences for their crimes.
The thought crossed my mind more than once when I was struggling for diagnosis as a very sick person and fighting insurance every step of the way.
Cigna or the SSA, though? Decisions, decisions.
