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.

The difference between intelligent and stupid people is that intelligent people know that they don't know a lot of things but stupid people think they know everything.

The guy the Gnome in left for dead is named after right?

didn't people jump on Colin Powell for saying the same thing? "unknown unknowns"? sometimes i get frustrated.

I think it was Rumsfeld. I didn't like the guy, but attacking that quote was dumb.

Yeah, that was dumb criticism at the time and still is. It sounds/looks silly but known known, known unknown, and unknown unknown are all clear and useful concepts

Rumsfeld matrix. I use it for risk assessment in software projects, I believe it very useful 🤷‍♂️

i just love the phrase! it's like a cross between the rum diaries, the matrix, and donald fucking rumsfeld. i mean, who other than god or rng ever could generate such a union?
