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.

it really is impressive (and terrifying, if i'm being honest) just how...extensive and all encompassing this Israeli/AIPAC propaganda is.
like...it's so bad that I don't even feel comfortable thinking on it too much, because what if I'm falling into some antisemitic rabbithole that blames the jews for everything? the start of some alt-right pipeline?
but then it's undeniable, that there is a concerted effort to suppress any and all information about israel's atrocities across the western world, with plenty of jews in positions of power essentially sanctioning it.
When you make the distinction that there are more christian zionists than Jewish ones calling out their bullshit cant be considered antisemitic
There is a person on Lemmy who is a mod and has many alts. Let's call them SmugJesus. They will definitely call you antisemitic if you talk negatively about Zionism and the Israel lobby.
They can go fuck themselves
Yeah fuck that person. Instant downvote anytime I see a post from that asshole.
I'd add that it is not only Jews doing it, and a lot of Jews you will meet are not complicit. In fact, they are most likely being marginalised by their own communities.
Also, it's not a conspiracy theory, it's a publicly admitted Israeli effort, look up hasbara on Wikipedia.
