You should block a lot of people and communities, it helps with the ai nonsense. As for the radicalism, Lemmy was developed by communists. It is a niche free open source semi-decentralized platform that is free of ads. It’s gonna attract the type of people who have a lot of problems with capitalism. Radical leftists didn’t come here to radicalize people, they were here first. If it isn’t for you then it isn’t for you but as one of those radical leftists I do encourage you to give our world-view a fair glance. Read the manifesto or watch a youtuber like secondthought. Maybe listen to a speech from Parenti. It changed my life permenantly and it could do the same for you.

Unfortunately America is relevant to most of the world rn. Wish it wasn’t though

Cornhub use to be a site that looked identical to pornhub but only had videos of corn.

Inventing Reality by Michael Parenti covers this topic quite well. (Or so I am told I have not gotten around to reading it yet)

I usually listen to audiobooks while I read, helps me focus. So thank you too :)

Parenti my beloved. Will be adding that to my list thank you

I really gotta read Chomsky and Herman’s book on that subject

Nearly all media is state controlled. Even privately owned media companies because both the media and the state are just tools the owning class uses to maintain power. They share the same interests. There are some coalitions of reporters and journalists that have relative independence but even they must cooperate with the interests of the owning class or risk being shut out of key resources necessary for their reporting and therefore their income. The goal is to read reporting from all sources with the interests of the producers of that source in mind. You can read RT and get reliable information on some subjects just as you can read the kyivindependant and get reliable information on some subjects. Emphasis on some. It is unfortunately up to the reader to filter through bias, a skill that is suspisciously not taught well in our education.

Same lol, I also remembered this post and searched their profile for it

Hi :)

So we turn to the Swedes, who you’d expect to be all over a penis if one presented itself in Lane 3.

He is more like a siren

The ones who do often conclude yes and then end up in spaces like this one
