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. This includes instance shaming.

How do I know we're coming up to the next US election?

The both-sides-same messaging starts kicking up.

I get that, but AI slop is an issue, period. Needs to be shamed out of existence.

That's what you're going to get when both Democrats and Republicans are fascist. There is no lesser evil, there is no incrementalism. There is no harm reduction. That's all bullshit that liberals tell themselves to distract from the fact that they chose evil

Leftist are humanitarian. Sure. But leftist aren't passive "stop hate with love" hippies. We're the mother fuckers that have the top score for killing mother fucking Nazis and Colonialist.

Add an AK-47 and a Drone to that right side of the image.

Good message, but would’ve been better if you took the time to make the image yourself because now the message is slop and void.

I, for one, would love to see the LGBTQ+ bomb go boom!

Had to reread your username, at a glance I thought it was Sapphodyte (pronounced like Aphrodite). And I thought that would've been really on point.

It comes from the 1994 film, The Crow. A character named Tin Tin (played by Laurence Mason) calls the sleazy pawnbroker Gideon a "chrome-dome child-molesting saprophyte". A saprophyte is a biological term for an organism that feeds on dead or decaying organic matter, such as certain fungi or bacteria. At the time the movie came out, I had worked mids for years and considered myself a mushroom because I never saw daylight and my job constantly gave me shit. I needed a gamer tag and it seemed a fitting moniker at the time.

Good movie! I really enjoy finding out where people get their unique names from, thanks for sharing that. Sounds like a shitty time, but you definitely got a cool tag from it.
