Shut it down like Tiktok. Those platforms are brainwashing people into believing far right and far left ideas.
Damn those far left ideals like liveable wages!
far left ideas.
Lol. Yeah that's the problem with society today; Mark Zuckerberg is turning the kids into commies!
But, but I like far left ideas. The pictures about people dancing in circles, living in communities without the need of money, make me giggle.
Time to start a Facebook account. /s
That isn't far left though.
More like overthrowing governments, disbanding corporations, abolishing personal properties, completely removing currency, controlling speech, ...
I myself am a socialist, but what you describe is closer to centre left than far left.
Okay my comment was a little bit sarcastic, but there is some truth in it. Removing currency and removing private property isnt that bad. How would we live then? You just have your skills and trade/offer them every day against the skills of someone else, who makes food for example. No third person would make profit of your trade. Sounds better then what we have actually. Today the Top 10% literally do nothing and get all things they want.
But removing everything sounds odd, I know. Let's start simple: how about it isn't allowed to have more than 1 mio. Dollars. I mean 1 mio. is a lot. If you have more you pay 100% tax. Nobody needs more than 1 mio.
Btw "controlling speech" is one of the far right favourites, not left.
We tried the "trade your skills for something you need". In every surviving society it eventually lead to the development of a currency (not hard to see why), which requires/leads to regulation, which requires enforcement, aaaand you're back at a modern society. I'm all for more regulation to reduce economic and social differences in society, but the people that are talking about abolishing governments and currencies need to pick up a history book and follow their ideas to their natural conclusion.
"Controlling speech" is a hallmark of authoritarian governments, be they far-left or far-right, there are plenty of historical examples of both.
Yes those are the problematic fantasies that corporate social media is brainwashing people towards. Too many of the youth are wasting their time on fantasies of revolution when they could be acting within the scope of reality to achieve something actually meaningful.
They would be better off actually working instead of wasting their time protesting and getting useless degrees
I think Tiktok can often be creative and informative, which Facebook is definitely not though. I don't use Tiktok but what people have sent me have usually been funny.
I've seen quite a few commies on Lemmy. Just saying.
