some unsubstantiated claims, some statements that were straight up untrue

Cite them.

Im heading to bed now (yes I am studying abroad, spooooky!) so I'll get you tomorrow, but the foreign prison thing? We've had foreign death prisons for ages - Guantanamo Bay, Abu Ghraib, we could go on. Then there's the long list of CIA blacksites.

What are you trying to imply here?

That this thread is full of people foaming at the mouth at the mere thought of someone foreign having an opinion and sharing it, and you strike me as the type to do that.

Okay. That's pretty much what I thought, but I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt and a moment to clarify.

No, I'm not offended in any way that you are in a different timezone, from a different country, studying aborad, or are in any way not directly living in the US and being impacted by the poor decisions people have made here. Anyone from anywhere can read about and make informed decisions about American politics, and probably come to a better decision about it than most of the people living here, based on the results of the last general election.

I'd encourage you to check your prejudice, because I am not the person you appear to think that I am.

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, anti-communism, 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.
