Late Stage Capitalism

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.

Brian Thomson, in his dying breath: lol you fool... I have life insurance too! If you strike me down, I shall become more wealthy than you can possibly imagine.

Mangioni is being charged as a terrorist. Life insurance typically has a clause that it doesn't cover acts of war or terrorism.

Thompson's life insurance should have been withheld.

These clauses don't apply to the rich.

The smell of burning human flesh and shrieking, giddy laughter is just the system working as intended

Presumably not from the same location. 😶

Goodness no! From the massive circle of frolicking people surrounding the building, not from the building itself. That would just be silly!
