No other country has done as much? Weāre gonna just ignore how much support Israel has thrown behind Trump? Netanyahu was meeting and communicating with him during the 2024 election cycle, all while ignoring the Biden administration! Snubbing a sitting president for a prospective candidate!
Comment on Based and Red Pilled Gigachad, many such cases š

Yeah, no. American Oligarchs did social media. Youtube, Twitter, facebook, instagram all American. First they did it for money now they are doing it openly for power. Cambridge Analytica, anti-vax, anti-trans, anti-abortion, anti-immigrant all of these are made by Americans to poison the world. And they are going to do much worse with AI. Americans destroyed the world.

Yea naw, my parents watch WeChat short videos and read their BS articles and they constantly regurgitate anti-Democrat rhetorics, and whenever someone gets shot by police, they fucking cheer, the homeless people, anyone with a āmental illnessā, even George Floyd, they think trials are waste of time and resources, they want the system to just skip the trial and want the suspects dead.
Canāt even blame āAmericansā for this, the CCP has full control of the content, they clearly arenāt censoring it.
WeChat is literally poisoning the Chinese Overseas Diaspora. Its another tentacle of the CCPās power. Thereās no doubt they also infect social media platforms like facebook, xitter, etcā¦They sow chaos, and untimately, whatever the CCP does damages the repututation of anyone who is ethnic Chinese or looks ethnic Chinese. They are infaming Sinophobia by being the worse representatives of my people. And all the abuse that I have endured from my parents is from this toxic culture, fuck this āfilial pietyā BS, fuck conservatism. Iāve been helping out in my parents bussiness, and they still say Iām useless. I really wanna go back in time and shoot confucious for inventing the stupid ass religion, fuck your åé , its literally parental indoctrination to control their children. Evil ass shit. Fuck confucious.

Itās still here in 2025. America isnāt a bunch of fascist MAGAs, even if we are being taken over.

You understand the difference between a medium and the content on that medium right?
Thatās a rhetorical question since you clearly donāt.
hark@lemmy.world āØ1ā© āØhourā© ago
Do you? Control over the medium is far more powerful than being a mere user of that medium.

Corporate control over an algorithm that decides who is served what content is a platform-agnostic tool of power over society. Weāre seeing that danger manifest in old and new ways every single day. That lever of power allows whomever owns that particular medium to push whatever content they like. That is the entire motivation behind and purpose of the Fediverse and other decentralization efforts.
Zuck and muskrat separate populations, push propaganda and influence discussions at an unprecedented level. The control a single corporation, a single authoritarian point of power has over such vast swathes of population dwarfs the propagandic power of Goebbles and Stalin by a couple orders of magnitude.
