Welcome to the dank left
Basic rules: *No reposting. Just don't do it.
*Be respectful. Remember the human.
*Don't post content glorifying the right This should be pretty obvious.
*Keep it dank This includes, keeping the content humorous and fresh in multiple, bizarrerie ways Only post content that is humorous and fresh.
*The notion of Leftist unity is not enforced or encouraged. It always ends with one group siliencing others.

It is also a hierarchical system with privately accumulating capital at the tops of a steadily diminishing number of pyramids - that's the capitalism part - with no overarching authority to regulate it. In short, unregulated capitalism.
