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.

Did you know that the EU threw away more food than they imported in 2021? And that's the EU. I shudder to find out what the US did.
What the actual fuck, how even...my god.
Tbh i know about supermarkets throwing away food that's on the date, because that way they get a cut of the money back but they also lower the price significantly when it's a day before the date (i usually buy cake or other bakery related sweets at nearly 40% off).
I also know some people who will trash perfectly fine meals juat because it was made yesterday.
I'm the type of person who will use the ends from a loaf of bread to "make them into a treat" (i basically use the thicker crust as an excuse to overload it with hazelnut spread(store brand nutella) and enjoy it like it's my birthday lol) so i don't end up throwing food away.
