yeah but honestly, stop going there unless you're doing agitprop. i really don't think scrolling it is good for anyone
Know any explicitly leftist communities like that? I like to keep up to date on it all cause my friends and I are trying to make plans to survive ecological collapse
when good things happen under capitalism, the capitalists are responsible and we must admire how they have shaped our world with their visionary entrepreneurship
when bad things happen under capitalism, it's the consumer's fault and the capitalists are powerless pawns at the mercy of our irrational whims
"Who are the shareholders? Again, people."
Only 12% of Coca Cola shares are the general public, and the majority of them are owned by the richest individuals, so it sure as hell isn't "regular people" that own all these shares.
actually since they're also homo sapiens sapiens any distinction made between you and the richest people on the planet is doing a racism

r/collapse was definitely trending left while the old sub was around. Then we got banned and people lost interest in hanging out in and trying to push it left.

Imagine using Coca cola plastic bottles as an example when they actually used to use glass that would be cleaned and reused.
They didn't switch because people disliked glass. They switched because disposable plastic was more profitable!
Right after they made the switch, Coke put funding into propaganda orgs stating that it was our individual consumer responsibility to clean up our trash. It's literally who created the crying old native man ad. :cringe:
Even worse, the "Crying Native" guy was in fact It*lian
In addition to what everybody else is saying, one random comment with 9 upvotes on a giant thread critiquing massive corporations is hardly evidence that a sub is right-wing.
this is what Obama wrote in his book. Fucking anti-worker propaganda
