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,' etc.

stop posting caitlyn johnstone's broken clock moments, surely someone else on the internet has this opinion for you to screenshot
I'm ootl - who is she
physical embodyment of .ml, quick google for quotes gives you the general summary of her opinions (she has these opinions, and also the same opinions as other people who say this sort of thing on other issues)
"Trump probably WILL end the Ukraine war eventually; if he doesn't the next president will. Ukraine has already lost and the US needs its resources to prepare for war with China over Taiwan, so it's only a matter of time before the proxy war is brought to a conclusion. The empire was always going to leave Ukraine a smoldering wreck after a senseless, stupid, insanely dangerous war that could easily have been avoided with a few low-cost concessions and a little diplomacy."
"Polls say that both Ukrainians and Americans want this US proxy war to end, but instead of ending it Washington is pressuring Kyiv to throw teenagers into the threshing machine of an unwinnable conflict.
And we were told this war was all about protecting democracy."
basically useful idiot who presents as serious smartywriter
edit: if you prefer more succinct comedy, there's also this: https://www.reddit.com/r/tankiejerk/comments/v7pk9u/what_do_we_do_now_caitlin/
edit2: based on post history, op is caitlynposting deliberately due to agreement with her useful idiot opinions and is trying to subtly push the useful idiot opinions on unsuspecting people by using her broken clock moments to sanitize her
Seems posts like this trigger your cognitive dissonance.
elaborate
The useful idiot in this equation would be you and people parroting the bullshit that they hear. And after hearing conflicting information, you're. cognitive dissonance kicks in where it causes unease and discomfort because it does not correlate with what you've been taught to think.
you didn't elaborate, you just said "cognitive dissonance" and then had chatgpt expand it into more words without adding additional information
