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.

This is why there is a push to end fact checking on the internet. It’s not about a free press any longer. The internet briefly broke the capitalist stranglehold on the dissemination of information. Somewhere along the way the ruling class realized it was easier to break the internet rather than control it.

AI will train on unverified claims and further “flood the zone” so that it becomes increasingly difficult to know what is and isn’t. Eventually it won’t matter if someone “brings the receipts” to back up their claims because there will be support for every conclusion.

Local IRL community networks linked together through regional and national verified connections will be the only way to truly know what is going on. This becomes increasingly difficult to do as more and more waking hours need to be devoted to earning a wage to trade for basic necessities.

We are all waiting for the revolution not realizing we have been losing a war the whole time.
