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.

We hate cars we hate capitalism we hate the rich we hate injustice

I'm sure breathing concrete dust is fine for a baby. Good for him even. Builds character while providing his lungs with heavy reinforcement against collapses and drone strikes.

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.

There's absolutely nothing touching about this

[–] justsomeguy@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Now that's what I call touching!

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

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

touching the new depressing

[–] GardenGeek 7 points 1 week 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.

Nothing is as touching as subjecting your toddler to concrete dust for 8+ hours a day, it's great for their development!

How bad could silicosis possibly be? It's got "silly" in the name!

[–] Sp00kyB00k@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It is saddening that there is no "village" or community to aid such a person in hardship...

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why would there be? There's profit to be gained elsewhere, and that comes before everything else of course.

Indeed. This world is terrible.

[–] arandomthought@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Also the kid hanging on his back all day. Great way to develop strengh and coordination.

Don't forget the social skills!

"Just don't have your family die in a car crash. Without reducing cars tho, that's communism."

Universal Income! Healthcare for all! Etc.
Fucks the greedy bastards.

There should be a c/americanheartwarming

[–] justsomeguy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

When this orphan was crushed the community came together and cleaned up the mess to avoid being fined by the HOA.

More uplifting news at 7.

Is this image from America? It's incompatible with all kinds of regulations in the developed world.

There's a #vietnam in the post

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago

It certainly raised my heart-rate.

Vocational Education. He'll be able to learn the construction industry at his own pace. He should be able to start cleaning up debris at around 3 or 4. He'll be operating heavy machinery by 10.
