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, or liberalism. 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,' etc.

That does sound like it could be effective, but I doubt it’s all that’s needed.
Also, are we willing to cut off funding if Israel doesn’t meet the conditions?
Yes, that is part of the solution. If not, we're not doing what I said, we're just doing what we're doing now.
There would of course be more to it, but that one lever would remove the option to kill indiscriminately. You might be surprised how quickly Israel would stop shooting if they suddenly had an ammo counter to watch and the only solutions available are diplomatic.
Sounds like a consistent and reasonable plan.
Thank you, I strive for consistency and reason in my thinking - sometimes I even succeed 😂 I appreciate you engaging in good faith, this was a pleasant exchange.
