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.

While this being a touching story this will be used by the greedy at the top to justify abandonment of childcare in the long run... in internal discussions. And posts like this are used to normalize the idea.

This father shouldn't be forced to bring his child to work at all.

Aww, he's one slip away from crushing the kid's skull on concrete.

Now that's what I call touching!

[–] Asetru@feddit.org 31 points 1 month ago

It kind of touches my rage against uncontrolled capitalism though. Does that count?

touching the new depressing

[–] GardenGeek 7 points 1 month ago

True.

To me it appears that it's framed that way which is disturbing.

An example on why childcare isn't necessary, but also a reason to fire him because he is distracted at work and not maximizing his productivity.
