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.

I am Luigi.
I am Luigi.
We are Luigi
We are all domestic Luigis?
All those cooking simulators were for what then? Of course we are domestic. We know how to make pesto.
Just because it is legal doesn't mean it shouldn't be punishable.
Translation from English to insurospeak..... "Wait, she'll die soon and the problem will be solved"
For every denial of claim, the burden of proof should be on the insurance company. The assumption should be, if a doctor ordered it, it was necessary.
hospital care is not necessary but because we care about our customers we will go the extra mile and cover her aspirin costs
Yet another time I'm happy I haven't ever set foot in the US.
The US has become a 3rd world country I dread going to. I would never want to go there now.
United Health Care Executive Ghouls: We can prove that this isn't medically necessary because if they turn off the life support then the patient will stop suffering from the described symptoms.
I'm like 90% sure that health insurance executives are undead creatures that feed on the death and suffering of their "customers."
Have we checked that the CEO is still/actually dead, and isn't just an undead playing possum?
That's because they know the patient is going to die and it will be cheaper for them that way.
Their actions will ensure the patient dies.
That's how they know
Even in countries with universal healthcare, these decisions also need to be made. We don't have unlimited money or resources to spend when cases are likely hopeless.
That's called a death panel. We shouldn't have those, and insurance companies DEFINITELY shouldn't have those.
What is the insurance company if not a death panel?
I know we hate it and they've really done and will still do some deeply fucked up shit, but man...maga is anti-establishment like the left. I'd rather have a class war than a civil war.
A class war could mayyyyyyybe have a constructive resolution. But a civil war? 0% chance. None.
I don't want either at all but for Christ's sake at least have it over the right thing if you're gonna have one.
MAGA, whether it's regular or Blue, isnt anti establishment. They fully support their own versions of establishment, and both defend the status quo. There will be no form of civil war among the citizens, but they will keep us divided with meaningless culture war bullshit because it doesn't threaten their positions of power.
