What ever . You called it opinion I called it commentary regardless it’s what we were talking about .BTW I can’t find any thing that I consider a news article by them everything I see is opinion., maybe I’m not looking in the right place on the site but what ever at this point I really don’t care to discuss it any more .I assure you that the vast majority of Trump voters had nothing to do with QAnon .I just wish you could be a little less insulting it’s not necessary
Now maybe take a peek at Drop Site News (Scahill & Grim) and Democracy Now (Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez), again, both with pretty solid accuracy ratings, similar to The Intercept, though, again, DN with a higher rating for accuracy that DSN and TI

@Captain Red Eye - My understanding is that capitalism is based upon the accumulation of capital (wealth building) be it crony or not. Free market trading on the other hand is simply what it states, a market facilitating the trade of goods and services. No capital necessary. Pesky words eh?

People are not goods. They figured that out.

Just as perfect communism hasn’t been attempted, neither has perfect capitalism. But whatever form capitalism takes it works better.
The aboriginals in the Amazon and SE Asia who've been assaulted by multi-national oil corporations seeking illegitimate access to raw minerals via mercenaries might not agree.

I’m done with almost all media sources. Although I don’t share Ryan’s political beliefs, I’ve never caught him lying to me. Being wrong from time to time happens, but lying to further an agenda gets you on my don’t watch don’t care list.

A violation of property rights isn’t capitalism, it’s an act of war. Sadly those that cannot defend their property inevitably have it stolen. That’s why the 2nd amendment and property ownership go hand in hand.

They're non-partisan and post anything that reeks of government or other related corruption, whether it be twisted corporate insider agreements or leveraged buyouts, or violation international and national law and government illegality in general.

Fostered by rogue, bloodletting, predatory, insider capitalism. Crony capitalism like the Rs and somewhat the Ds are now steeped in. Selling Polly Anna bullshit to the People and committing heinous crimes when they think no one is paying attention. Snidely Whiplash in a nicer suit.

It’s simple. It’s capitalism to shop at stores. It isn’t capitalism to steal from and destroy the store.
