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.

Only catch is, one of these people is the target of CIA hit squads and the other gets a standing ovation in the US Capital.
Like, you can't talk to me about influence peddling and not talk about J-Street. Let me know when Washington DC has an R-Street and we can talk about their relative influence.
Allegedly. Its not clear to me Trump sees either of these people as opponents. Everything Israel does coordinates with Russias goals, and vice versus. They might not be coordinating but the outcomes might as well be.
Where do you get this stuff?
By putting a mediocre level of effort into paying attention into world events and world politics, and then analyzing those events.
Its miraculous what putting in even a basic level of effort does. I highly recommend.
Here's a visual example that shows how Israel thinks of itself, displaying what I'm talking about (another lemming posted this earlier in the thread, cant for the life of me remember whom):

Oh no! What could this mean?!
That Putin doesn't like being so short. Or you know, he's really unhappy with not being able to manipulate Obama. Probably short as well.
The person you are replying to posted that image.
Sergey Belyakov, Mikhail Fridman, Ivan Glasenberg, Oleg Deripaska, Semion Mogalevich, Dmytro Firtash, & Sergey Naryshkin (allegedly)
This is definitely a List Of Guys. But you might want to do some more research. Mikhail Fridman is Ukrainian who has dedicated enormous sums of his own personal fortune to propping up the Ukrainian defense budget. Of course, it's an easy mistake to make. The EU courts had to take him off the sanctions list in 2024 when they found no evidence whatsoever to support claims that he had violated post-war sanctions.
Was this Epstein consulting Chomsky on methods of improving his public optics and embarking on a PR campaign?
That, or just the ramblings of a man coming off a meth high.
Hard pressed to name a celebrity or billionaire who wasn't getting skin pressed by this guy, though. Epstein had his hand in every pot he could reach.
Lol I spent way to long trying to figure out why putin had an epaulette on
Why is the same guy in that picture twice?
/yes, I know
Bruh we're literally sending billions annually to Israel so they can then turn it around and bribe our politicians to get more.
