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, anti-communism, 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.

why do we need "experts" to tell us this, have these people not spoken to anyone in gen Z for even 5 minutes?
Because people (especially 20th century people) have been trained to ignore the evidence of their eyes and ears and trust only the word of the party.
Maybe this is anecdotal, but all the 20th century people in my life completely disregard what anyone younger has to say, preferring to believe that we're all entitled, whiny, complaining kids instead of realizing that we're adults in our 30/40s with genuine economic grievances. But they will blindly believe absolutely anything if it comes from personally preferred news media, even if its complete nonsense.
God I thought this was just me. Any time I point out any issue some boomer tells me to quit whining. Bad enough to be treated like a kid let alone when I'm pushing 40. It's really getting annoying.
when boomers themselves are expecting thier children to be thier retirement plan too.
Cut them off, no exceptions. You cannot allow them to compromise you.
Gaslighting experts.
