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.

Take solace in the idea that, statistically, she likely voted for Trump.
For everyone who wants the fucking numbers: https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2024/04/09/age-generational-cohorts-and-party-identification/
And the quote:
Keep the downvotes coming, and don't forget to worship the elderly just because they got old. Surely they aren't voting against the best interests of humanity.
statistically, you have terrible opinions. 1 out of 1 comments I've read of yours have been awful
Remember, everybody who fails to die sooner will get old and have to put up with the same problems young people chose not to address because "eh those are old people problems and old people suck"
In other words "it will happen to youuuuuuuuuu"
Go fuck yourself. Anyone mocking the suffering of someone is human garbage
I'll openly mock anyone that is a detriment to humanity and then has to suffer the consequences of their actions.
It's like RAAAAIIIINNNNN~~
Go on... Tell me more about these statistics. Did elder women have over a 50% chance of voting for Trump, or am I gonna see goalposts move?
In Germany there was/still is this scam happening, called "Enekltrick", where people (mostly men) impersonate grandchildren to get into the pockets of the elderly, and a rap group made a song about it.
The refrain goes
I think in that context I kinda get the resentment but if you really wish for someone to suffer as idk some kind of punishment, that's pretty fucked up
I can't tell if that song is for or against the grandchild scam, it seems to just kinda state that it exists.
Would agree after you showed your work. Not sure what the odds are for '"80 year old woman" are.
