Has history remembered Tomas Sankara, Kwame Nkrumah and other african leaders who fought for deconlonization? It hasn’t because they got on the US’ bad side. Heck, if you go to any subreddit and look for what people think of what South Africa is doing, you will see nothing but “We should bring appartheid back to teach them a lesson” among other really bad comments

I think the problem with posts like this is that they are biased to the US. In real life, Facebook is still widely used outside the US, Twitter still has the majority of users and Instagram and Snapchat are used bye everyone.

Now watch as all the corporations that paused their advertising slowly return to the platform.

Cool.

Biden is not in favour of any of that.

Socialism is still very demonized in American politics. Try to get into a position of power while describing yourself as a socialist (and I mean an actual socialist eg. ending the Cuban embargo, supporting left-wing movements across the world and advocating for the end of capitalism).

Also neither Bernie nor any democratic politician is a actually socialist, they are still very capitalist. At best they are for "capitalism with a human face)

And all of that is a consequence of demonizing and extinguishing all the left-wing movements in the US. And the democratic party is complicit in that.

It certainly says something about the average american that they are more willing to tolerate a fascist than a socialist.

“He might lose some pro-palestinian voters but gain some pro-israel moderates”

This is the main problem with the democratic party. They are always tryign to please the far-right, but they are unwilling to compromise with the far-left

They are the same when it comes to Israel support

Tried it. The front page is nothing but conspiracy and crypto bullshit. So no, thanks.

Let’s get real, most of the people stayed on reddit. Only a very small fraction tried lemmy and an even smaller fraction have completely stopped using reddit.

What comments like this fail to understand is that people sometimes like to do nothing with their free time.

YouTube became as popular as it is because it fulfilled a necessity, for good or bad

Yeah, but that’s the thing, most of them have not abandoned Twitter, they have just created accounts elsewhere. For now, at least on the case of nsfw artists, leaving Twitter is unfeasible.

Honestly, it feels very rushed
