governments shouldn't have the ability to degrade our platform with shills and LLMs

I agree, but that is exactly what the United States and the West does.

China, Russia, and Iran do it as well, of course.

.world spent months denying the genocide in Gaza. It's a shithole that is likely an op run by western governments to herd in normies and push favorable narratives. Not remotely hard to see that

You're talking like a totalitarian. People with this worldview should not hold power, and certainly should not determine what is acceptable discourse.

It is disappointing to see that some Americans/Westerners are allergic to disagreeing worldviews. Apparently diversity is only permitted so long as it broadly supports liberal democracies and capitalist understandings of history.

Sickening stuff. Makes me think Lemmy isn't much better than Reddit, particularly if this attitude becomes more prevalent on here

But they are primarily leninists, dedicated ideologically to authoritarians and strongmen above all reality.

Why does that mean they should be banned? Is speech that we agree with the only permitted speech?

Just because you think they're wrong doesn't mean they should be banned. Banning them makes it look like we're afraid of people reading their points, which gives them power and credibility

Plato’s Cave is the original neckbeard superiority argument

"One of the most renowned metaphors in Western history reminds me of the voices from an app on my phone, which means that I'm smarter than Plato, actually"

I'd much rather watch someone who isn't pushing the envelope.

The personality of a housecat

A conspiracy is an agreement to perform together an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act.

Such things indisputably occur everyday

No I don't think any of the existing parties are sufficient (DSA or greens).

You can't argue this without being called a conspiracy theorist who likely also believes that 9/11 was an inside job as well (or at least was permitted to occur by the CIA)

Increasing taxation on them does not alter their absolute control of our government and democracy

Oligarchs own and control the United States. That is what needs to change.

But jews and Native Americans do. And ethnic whites used to. Why are all of them ignored?

Racism never ended

Did anti Semitism? If not then why aren't jews also treated as beneficiaries?

Also, native Americans are currently living on apartheid reservation systems. Why don't we ever mention them in these discussions?

Actually I was arguing that the working class should hold power in society rather than the ownership class. And no one should treat anyone differently based on immutable traits.

I didn't treat it as a personal deficiency because it doesn't apply to me. You however, attacked me and then claimed it was a joke out of cowardice. Grow up or log off

You not being funny has no bearing on society

End American Oligarchy

If that were true then the United States would have been communist by now

I reported you for personal attacks. But maybe next time you could at least ensure you weren't completely wrong before you insult someone
