I mean, I've talked with fairly left-leaning economists for one.

As for stuff like voting blocks. It's why the AARP is so powreful.

They have voting power and organize it into a force.

People ascribe way more power to corporations than they really have.

There are some that present dangers (like Google) but it's a far stretch from corporations secretly controlling the government.

In part because the corporations tend to cut each other down as often as anything.

Vote as a group, not an individual

Wow nothing

That is disturbing.

@JDM_WAAAT Do we have anyone who manages this stuff?

@Reactor do you have admin powers?

I DMed but no response

I don't know what to do next, TBH.

Hold on, new person got added to admin

anyway, shiva i dont think its correct to say that the left wanting to support censorship in the united states is reflective of being concervitive, its reflective of being authoritarian, though different groups in the left want it for different reasons. the neoliberals want it to defend themselves from opposition, though as they are on their way down i think youll see less and less call for regulated speech when they have less power to prevent their own speech from being regulated. as for the progressives, they want it because they believe that words have power and progressives wnat to fight for the powerless (those thy think are the powerless) and thus fight to take words from their opponents and also use those words of their oppoennts in order to target them and disassociate themselves from them. ultimately progressives have had their ideology warped by the idea that race and identity are more important than class though however or that they are sononymus with class and thus act as identitarians for neo-liberal voting blocks while neo-libs support a globalist agenda that reflects intersectionality and old school communism but actually acts to support international bussiness by disadvanteging the national working class for the sake of the international working class

@Joe. BourbonFox is saying there's child abuse in the shitposting channel

Yeah, the left supports alot of stuff conservatives consider abhorrent

Poster MadNoy

There is that one gif

Obly that one I saw

corporations dont secretly control the government, lobbying isint illegal

Just report the tweet

if it is illegal we certainly dont stop it

Funny story. The Progressives of the early 20th were religious and implemented Prohibition.

not to mention campain funding and even if they are both illegal corporations have economic power, that economic power is good enough protection

most governments of the western world are on the payroll of corporate interests, not even as a slight majority

@pratel what's the problem?

@The Beatles are just ok is saying there's child abuse being posted to the shitposting channel.

I don't know much about it, he says he DM'd you.

progressives of the early 20th century were actually conservitive

The Progressives of the 20th century were both.

like not just a hypothetical comparison but they were demonsteribly conservitive

That's one of the problems with labels, is that the positions change with time.

or they dont mean anything at all

I don't see anything..

progressives in the modern context for a long time have just been trying to prevent being labled socialist

if there's an issue please save screenshots and message me

thats changed in recent times

I can vouch I saw it

On phone, coudnt take screenshot

can't do anything without evidence

you can screenshot a phone

@JDM_WAAAT, @The Beatles are just ok I don't see anything myself.

I thought I saw a vid with a baby posted by someone I didn't recognize. I didn't watch it so I can't confirm. It may have been taken down. I didn't see it when I checked again.

I'll leave it you you two I guess.

Yeah, but its gone anyway

@JDM_WAAAT the other mod took care of it. I couldn't message you because it said it was blocked
