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.

More like: "if the one side wasn't consistently shitty (even if not as shitty as the other side), they might find more success in winning elections."
It's like they push the fucking envelope on how much bullshit we'll put up with and still vote for them. And unfortunately for all of us, they lost that bet in 2024.
This is what I feel a lot of people miss. Yes, the Democratic party is far worse than we deserve. But they still manage to get away with being the second worst option and taking money from whichever evil billionaire wants to build an orphan crushing machine, because Republicans are able to give such stupid talking points and openly hire rapists and racists, and their base is brain-dead enough to give them that leeway.
That second bit is what I still fail to understand. They cater to anger even when that anger is facing the complete wrong direction.
It's a very corporate mindset. Any bullshit they could have gotten away with but didn't is viewed as loss while pushing it too far is just the cost of doing business.
It really is corpo ghouls vs death cult ghouls.
Oh shit, don’t you know you’re not allowed to say that on libby.world???
