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.

What narrative exactly are you accusing people of feeding? The Narrative that school lunch debt is bad? You don't like that narrative?
Its always the .world users I swear.
In this case it excludes that this was an isolated district, the policy was rapidly corrected after this became public, and it's a story from over half a decade ago. It also leaves out how this was universally objected to, and it misrepresents the actual contents of the letter:
which was pointedly that if you cant feed your kid, you may have to prove you can safely care for them. A shit situation yes, but it was not "pay your lunch debt or we'll take your kid away".
Yeah, this headline being reposted is pushing a narrative. And man you know what, in my experience the people that dismiss other users because of their instance are generally the problem. Othering people is pretty much always bad.
They don't want to understand 🤣
Asking 'what narrative' on a late stage capital post isn't in good faith. They are trolling you.
You know, you make a good point. Thank you!
