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.

Here's NPR covering this exact issue yesterday. It's not the first time, this isn't a new story for any of these networks.

Here's CBS 3 days ago:

You could literally just search these. You know we always complain that the Right is spreading misinformation?......

Edit: it's actually kind of a depressingly good example of how misinformation spreads on social media. Folks saw something they assumed was true or wanted to be true, chose to upvote and spread it along and of the 8 or whomever who upvoted so far, no one bothered to check even a comically eyebrow raising claim like this.

It's a screenshot of a Tweet by some random influencer account purely as clickbait.

And it's being clicked on by people who haven't watched any of these channels in years.

Just manufactured outrage where the story is a headline about a (lack of) headline.

Talk about LateStageCapitalism. This is what your news is now.

The irony is that they feel like they have to manufacture outrage in this political environment

Well, news for folks who don't follow actual news. Which is a depressingly high percentage.

But surely no one would ever post intentionally misleading information on a platform as pure as Twitter.
