Comment on Yeah, let's stop with this "don't judge people for their poiltics" bullshit
djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 week agoI honestly think the answer has to be banning the content. I don’t understand why we allow people to lie and demonize minorities on the internet and TV, it seems pretty obvious what giving a platform for hateful ideology leads to. For Americans, this level of censorship was a bridge too far, but hopefully other countries realize that it’s a necessary bulwark against the rise of fascism.

But how could we ban the content when the owners of the media are fascists? With all three branches of the government are dominated by people who rely on this messaging?

There was a time when this wasn’t the case, and there was independent media in the United States. Unfortunately, that was when it needed to be nipped in the bud.
I honestly think that removing the Fairness Doctrine doesn’t get pointed to enough as one of Reagan’s massive blows to the U.S.
