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.

Did you really just say don't hate the player hate the game
I have room in my heart to hate both
My heart is enlarged as hell
Not a doctor, but you might want to get that checked out
We can enjoy hating the player, but hating the game allows for change.
We could change the game by removing problem players
Yeah and then just hope that there isn't a bad apple in the 7 billion of persons left I'll watch that
Sartre seems to agree, kind of: "I was not the one to invent lies: they were created in a society divided by class and each of us inherited lies when we were born. It is not by refusing to lie that we will abolish lies: it is by eradicating class by any means necessary."
Yes, we don't have enough information to hate the player yet.
It would take exceptional circumstances to excuse this. I would say we don't have enough information not to hate this player.
I am fine with that. Glass half full vs half empty. But if you act on it before you have all the info, you may end up hurting someone who didn't deserve it.
