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.

During one particularly hairy incident, a man who moved into one of the units with his wife, his daughter, and her four children, pulled a gun on a Vivos contractor who had pulled up with a front-end loader to his bunker. The resident eventually shot the contractor, injuring him. However, South Dakota’s stand-your-ground law led to a grand jury declining to indict him.

How the hell does this even make sense? If the contractor was there for an actual reason then how the hell does stand-your-ground law apply? It sounds like he shot someone that should have never been shot. Guns and gun laws are fucking dumb.

It sounds like that because this is a bad and inaccurate article. This article has the details: https://www.frcheraldstar.com/news/trouble-prepper-paradise

The guy who was shot went to the shooter's bunker with the stated intent to "fuck him up" and is a convicted violent felon. The shooting sounds pretty justified as legitimate self-defense.

Thanks for the info! Yeah that does make it sound way worse.

What, do you expect to hold the rich accountable, or something?
