Which is why you shouldn't believe the propaganda pushed by the Republican oligarchs. Using simplistic arguments about the US not being a perfect democracy is merely a strawman tactic used by those who favor anti-domcratic government and the control of social media by a handful of people. Musk's Twitter will support these anti-democratic people, who are helping the 1% fuck over the 99%. Your quality of life will drop, unless there is a movement to remove career politicians and elect new ones, democratically. Don't believe the oligarchs' propaganda.

    There are several popular 'far right' social media sites, including Parler, communities.win, Gab, hexbear, steemit, and others noted here. Do you think they tolerate anything that's not right-wing? Are they promoting anti-democratic misinformation? Are they supposed to be 'free speech' sites? They're helping the 1% fuck over the 99%.

    Do those sites tolerate this?

    You're able to share it here, so yes.

    That content is most certainly not allowed in Parler, Gab, and any active Communities.Win community. Saidit.net is centrist, not far-right, as evident by you being able to exist on here.

      Imagine being a dumbocrat, being outright proven wrong, and then calling other people "wrong"
