  • Of course, it’s all speculation, and obviously capitalism plays a role, I’m just not convinced it’s as significant as the role social media plays alone.

    Don’t you think those companies have incentive to push for things that provoke outrage, and thus engagement? Imho endless political debates are not the expression of democratic feelings. They are just the way they keep you on the platform for ads.


  • I do understand (and I am sure you mean well, not attacking you as a person). But the confusion isn’t just a detail here, it’s inherent to what you’re saying. Look up what happened in Berlin in 1933, for example. Liberal conciliating attitude paved the way to nazism.


  • Well, the said liberals have defunded schools, hospitals, trains, retirement and anyknd of welfare here in the name of “being opened to new ideas”, so it’s a bit more than semantics. Sorry, I don’t want to be associated with liberalism.

    Liberal bourgeois are a significant political force since the French revolution - and always opposed people. It is and always was about the freedom of industry barrons and nothing else.
