It's tolerated in different ways. Ostracization and orchestrated mass downvotes are used rather than bans. .world utilizes methods of control that are more subtle than .ml. Which is consistent with how the CIA/West exerts control compared to China.

Our propaganda techniques and mechanisms of control are more multifaceted and less brutish and obvious - which isn't a good thing. It means that we create a veil and drape it over the eyes of our people so that they don't even realize that they are being controlled. This is the ideological state apparatus of the West that is drastically more effective than anything a socialist state has managed to create. Of course, we both have repressive state apparatuses as well, and our police are arguably more brutal than theirs (especially if you aren't white and female), but there is less need to use that when you are able to brainwash your public so effectively with subtle acts of ideological correction. And convincing them that hundreds of strangers are mad at them is a good way to minimize dissent from being articulated in the first place, as well as distractions such as typical liberal rage bait and "red team bad" distractions

You asked me if the United States and China were moral equals.

If you intended to ask something else, then you should improve your ability to write clearly

How is the United States better given the entirety of its history and current oppression of the working class and minorities? We have a larger prison population than China despite having a far smaller population, and our quality of life has plummeted over the past 2 generations, whereas theirs has drastically improved over the same period

More importantly, why does any of that offend you to hear? You're so patriotically brainwashed that you can't tolerate criticisms of the US? Why would that be in a country that is supposedly free? If you're being oppressed by American oligarchs, then you should want others to point out this oppression so that we can eventually reform our system

.world is a zionist and CIA-affiliated shillstorm. It's just the US version of .ml

Both are equally bad because the US and China are equally bad. Don't believe me? Check out the death toll of Native American genocide, transatlantic slavery, Latin american imperialism, CIA coups during the Cold War, police repression today, and current prison populations.

Given that I have no idea why anyone would defend the United States. Unless you're brainwashed or working for the CIA

.world does this all the time though, especially if you criticize Israel or Biden (or other CIA projects)

The United States exterminated Native Americans and currently is a systemically racist country that murders its dissidents - see Kent State and Ferguson. It also has the largest prison population in the world.

This entire thread glows and is extremely consistent with CIA goals.

You're beyond naive if you think the Marxists are brainwashed, yet you and the "people" in this thread aren't.

it'd be on the corporations deciding to change narrative independently, not being forced to by the government.

That is incredibly naive

Hall monitors are the most unlikable people on earth

Socialism would be if the inhaler companies were democracies that were owned by everyone who worked there, rather than dictatorships owned by a CEO.

This isn't socialism. It's social democracy, and arguably simply social liberalism

Do you think you're good at being persuasive?

Israel bombed Rafah and Biden did nothing.

Biden has consistently given Israel all of the military aid it asks for. The "pause" lasted only a few days. And then Israel bombed Rafah

There will not be a permanent ceasefire. This is purely optics to make it look like Biden is doing something. And will be used to blame Hamas and justify additional murder when the negotiations inevitably collapse. It is only for optics

The Republicans are identical to the Dems in terms of policy on the Gazan Genocide. The Dems just use softer language when they exterminate Gazans than the Republicans would.

I don't care what language is used. I don't care about aesthetics. I care about stopping the United States and Israel's extermination of the Gazans. Biden needs to do that, and to enact systemic regime change in Israel to prevent this from ever happening again
