    Think about taxing the rich? THAT’S SOCIALISM

    Ponder if an apartheid state is doing a genocide? ANTISEMITISM

    Don’t like the new Marvel movie? SEXIST! RACIST!

    Freedom of speech died long ago and now there is no flow of ideas, even incrementally. We’re in big trouble

      We still have freedom of speech, for now. While the brainlets on twitter and other social media censor eachother, we can still say and think whatever we want. Its just that people are pushed by it into one of several dumbass corners that many ideas appear lost. Luckily, platforms like lemmy emerge to hopefully counter some of that effect.
