... they are propagandized morons manipulated by social media algorithms and manufactured consent from the media to the point where theyve lost all rational critical thinking skills and just regurgitate propaganda.
Gold.
5 mega conglomerates own 90% of the media and the media is full of deep state plants, but sure, go off about how youre not manipulated by propaganda.
as for social media, im banned from all platforms for being too radically anticapitalist. its ok for nazi hate speech against large groups of people based on their race or sexual/gender identity or religious identity or national origin, but suggest that billionaire scum pay with their lives for exploiting the lives of millions of the rest of us and destroying the planet and you get banned real fast. social media is merely a manipulation tool of government, one step removed by private companies that hold government contracts.
i dont know why i bother here. bourgeoisie skiers will never ever understand what the working class is going through, after all, most of you are the ownership class.
Seriously? Perhaps it's the way you argue more than your argument?
to be honest, i think it has to do with reporting too many nazis that have profiles on the platforms. apparently, hate speech is tolerated and outright pushed by the tech conglomerates, anti-capitalist speech is not.
if you spent an ounce of time following marginalized people you would already know that most of us get banned from social media for protesting the fascist right.
LGBTQ accounts, BIPOC accounts,
feminist accounts, jewish accounts, disablity rights accounts, etc. many get shadowbanned, get their profiles reported by fascists, and have temporary suspensions and full on bans. i got kicked off reddit for "harassing" a moderator of a "left wing" sub by saying that i was gay, jewish and gender non conforming. they said that was a lie, reported me for harassment, and that was that. i wasnt rude to them or anything. people seem to wildly misjudge how unfree speech is these days.
all the more reason that social media should be a regulated public utility and nationalized, instead of being the private propaganda arm of the US government, one step removed because its a private company, on contract of course to manufacture consent. if social media were a public utility only the most aggressive of speech could be limited, such as the modern day yelling fire in a crowded theater type of speech.
it takes NOTHING to get banned these days, everything is automated and done by algorithm. if you say that "black people shouldnt be murdered by police" youll get a warning that says that youre posting harmful content, because of "black" and "murdered". theres no context. robots dont know context, they just know what words to ban.
