Because a lie told often enough becomes true.

Realistically, every useful idiot is afraid to say they don’t know if a Chinese company is a spy network because it’s sooooooooo obvious even asking for proof makes them look stupid.

Ironically, not asking for proof is what makes us stupid.

If something is “so obviously true” yet nobody can provide evidence for it when asked, it’s probably the propaganda mill doing its job.

Everyone, make sure you click the 3-dot dropdown menu and click “view comment moderation history.”

This is an easy way to see what content is being censored from us.

While his comment did go against lemmy.world’s rules, there’s nothing stopping any of us from starting or joining instances that do not have such restrictions in place.

Do not let them silence us. Do not let them control the narrative. Ideas are powerful, that’s why they don’t want us to have them.

All Tesla dealerships should be on fire by now.

Now now. Let’s be pragmatic. Why destroy their wealth when we can just redistribute it?

Take their wealth and give it to those in need. If they resist, put them down like dogs. (sorry dogs)

it will succumb to all the same socio-economic pressures.

The fediverse’s decentralized nature means that while some parts of it will succumb (maybe even most), there will inevitably be parts of it that don’t (or at least to a much lesser extent.)

It’s quite possible that the parts of the fediverse that avoid commercialization, though, are the ones that allow things that businesses don’t want to be associated with, like saying the N word.

Could be a great resurgence of free speech, although you’ll have to tolerate people saying things you don’t like.

Agreed! There is no reason to congregate on lemmy.world.

They’ve already shown their “rules” don’t really matter; they’ll just ban whoever they want and keep whoever they want.

Seriously. Violence is the only way to fight back when the powers that be control every other means of resistance.

They know ideas are powerful, that’s why they don’t want us to have them.

All the rich people that perpetuate a power structure that kills poor people every day.

The amount of damage the disparity in wealth causes is difficult to understate.

Hopefully more people will take action, but change is slow.

People need to realize what he did was necessary and we need more work like it done. We need more discussions, more alliances, more promotion of fighting back instead of being afraid of it.

Right now, the main fear among those brave heroes plotting to overthrow our oppressors are those being paid by the oppressors to protect the current power structure.

It’s a war. We’ve been conditioned not to see it.

Not that I’m advocating for violence

That won’t be the get out of jail free card that you’re used to having soon.

I, personally, have no problem with violence against rich people.

If they’re not making an honest effort to redistribute their wealth to those who need it, then they are part of a system that enables the most human suffering in history: exacerbating the disparity in wealth.
