Not banned, but it sounds like I would be if I was still a power user of reddit. The only time I still go to the site is for very specific niche gaming subreddits that the developers sometimes post in, I haven’t even seen /all in years at this point. I can post my same dogshit takes to U.S. political news on Lemmy, and it’s way less likely I’ll get some moron intentionally misconstruing my comment or mass reporting to get it removed!

Call your union

90% of Americans have failed at this step. That’s not a joke or hyperbole, less than 10% of Americans have membership to a labor union.

Sorry, the site that is expressly pro-Trump and has been removing comments critical of the current administration?

Beyond that, I wouldn’t even necessarily describe Reddit as a major player in the U.S. Most Americans are either part of META’s ecosystem or X, and both of those are absolutely pro-Trump.

What internet? The one algorithmically controlled by the oligarchs?

What TV? The stations that were purchased years ago by our country’s oligarchs?

What conversations? When everyone around them is being fed the same misinformation, and they treat anyone outside of their bubble as an enemy?

I would not assume the average American has any idea what is going on.

because you’re only seeing through a lense that is controlled by capital, and they refuse to show the demonstrations. I went to one yesterday, there were thousands of us and we took to the streets to demand trans rights. I won’t speak to the efficacy of the protests, but they are happening. News of them is just being suppressed.

The vast, vast majority of armed militias that are allowed to operate in the U.S. are far-right white supremacists. Mysteriously, they are allowed to operate without any issues, but any leftist militias that start to accumulate guns get a visit from the FBI or the ATF.

So they’re gonna continue the status quo?

You can’t be more mad about them actually saying they’re raping and pillaging the Global South than them doing it. The U.S. has worked to keep the Global South impoverished and exploitable for my entire life. I’ve never seen any politician even mention it as an issue. Americans didn’t care before, and now Vance is publicly admitting they don’t care.
