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.

Fuck. We're the baddies.
All the so called christians that voted for this. They should be ashamed, but I'm not sure they can even feel shame.
That's the beauty of Christianity.
It can be exploited to make you feel correct no matter your worldview.
One of the biggest reasons it spread so far.
Correct. Even the four gospels themselves don't agree on the character of Jesus, so it's a simple matter to pick-and-choose the bits that support your particular worldview.
Also all the genocide.
Isn't Christianity the religion where it doesn't really matter how bad you are? In the end the love for Jesus fills up you entirely and before your final moments you become good.
I vaguely remember learning something like that.
All ya gotta do is believe in Jesus and ask for forgiveness right before you die and you get into heaven, no matter what you've done lol.
Not if you kill yourself.
Maybe you can almost kill yourself and then ask for forgiveness before you die of internal bleeding.
In Catholicism, the act of taking one's life is considered the ultimate sin, and dying due to it excludes one from heaven.
New Testament God Hates This One Trick!!!
That’s not told a punishment, but a disincentive from people doing such.
Depends on your type of Christianity. The debate between salvation through faith and good works or salvation through faith alone is as old as the Reformation.
This is not about 2025 American politics. Think in terms of game theory, pure logic, drop your morals. If you're you the baddest dude in the hood, why would you let weaker men trap you into binding agreements that might bite your ass down the road? All risk, no reward, foolish.
America won't be a real member of the international community until we are militarily and economically forced into the role.
See the gathering of generals and the warlike speech yesterday? They know we're slipping economically. Only way to counter, for a fascist, is military might. Once you've built your power on a single man never being wrong, forging ahead no matter what, there is no turning back. Plus, our leader is a dementia addled old man. All he understands is kicking ass and lording power and money over others. God knows what he'll do or say next, but you can count on that behavior.
It's really funny that as an atheist, I have more faith in the teachings of Jesus(charity, don't be a dick) than the so-called followers of Christ.
