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. 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.

I try not to, it makes me angry and depressed...

This is evidence of a profoundly ill society.
The welding sucks as well.

I'd rather keep standing all day before I build a bench that someone tired and in need can lay down on.

Grab a crowbar and pry it apart. Maybe they'll replace it with something more functional.
Even empty space would be better.
Oh man, the dividers are not even enough for them
Every member of this city's council should be fired. Notice they also made sure the arm rests extend over the top so people can't use it for skateboard grinding.
