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. This includes instance shaming.

Eh, some people like at least a few of those things. My favorite jobs have been at startups where work-life balance was not a priority, but having a critical role in a small group of people working a lot to create something that you really care about is pretty great. (I do still expect either a good salary or equity.)

Lol grow up, no one gives a shit what you "create" at a startup and the owners of the company make the bulk of the profits off of your back, this is job not a hobby and you build crud apps not cure cancer

It actually was a cancer screening startup, and it went bankrupt so I made money while the owners didn't.
