Look, the USA are no saints by any metric, but on a comparative scale to actual dictatorships you'd have to be a concaveman to think they're one of the baddies.

The part that normalizes mass murder.

Argentina, Venezuela, USA, the Catholic Church, Spain, Croatia, Finland, Chile, Bolivia, the USSR, etc.

The phenomenon of Nazi escape routes across the world was commonly referred to as "the ratlines".

I wonder if Venezuela is actually a good choice for him or if he just wants to be associated with actual nazi commanders?

Lol nah, it could just be coincidence, but imagine this hypothetical:

If the only two times you hear a phrase like "you should buy white tires" was from Joseph Stiglitz and a demon whom wants you to off yourself, and the demon said it first, how would that make you feel about the message?

The fact that it is one of their main talking points or assertions while attacking the USA shows there is some nuanced truth to the statement.

If I am not mistaken, ML was made by a couple of Fediverse Developers, but their moderation policies are comparable to Elon Musk so nobody goes there.

World has good branding, will moderate, and has some of the best uptime stats.

It's hard to beat an operation with state funding.

Wouldn't comment or user count be a slightly better metric? Oh oh, do all 3 side by side please!

Did you submit a support ticket? Maybe try a different browser.

You seem really upset about me discussing how genuine this sentiment is and where it leads. Are you feeling defensive about something?

Hurrhurrhurr yes comrade us americans, we should learn to accept Xi Jinping into our hearts. /s

What a stupid analogy.

No but it is an article whose headlines use the same words as pretend-anarchist/socialist dictatorships when they try to stoke flames online to promote political division and violence.

Jfc I feel like a skipping record, how do you not understand the context of the conversation you're in? Did you get dropped off in the middle?

Ah youre right, FCC just regulates telecommunications lol my bad must have been a little foggy.

Lets not take credit away from the real criminals in the Republican Party. Just like how a Republican tried to shoot Trump.

FTC oversees securities exchanges, primarily. Things like the stock market.

I wasn't calling Joseph Stiglitz a dictatorship, I was calling Russia and China dictatorships and they often use the same words to different ends. The fact that this is crossposted to Hexbear and lemmy ML isn't doing the post any favors, either, those places are flowing with pro-CCP propoganda.

As much as this can be a productive conversation analyzing the faults of the system we live in to reform and fix it, it can also be used as justification for voting against our interests, violence, and subterfuge. It's unfortunate, but that is our context.

Rock should get bigger every iteration.

Well you can find various FCC lawsuits going back decades but nobody ever talks about any of that stuff.

Also they sued to stop the Albertsons Kroger Merger LINK

Everything else I said was pure assertion on my part, but the point still stands
