Is anyone else completely sick of how rightoid the internet is? I get sick of being pummeled by far right thinking point thought and perspectives on Xitter all the time. It was good and sending me leftist accounts and feeds pretty regularly, but then it always goes back to rightoid grift. I'm just pummeled by it now stop there. They say that there's still liberals on X, but it doesn't seem like there are that many left.
Also, 4chan is really annoying. I get so sick of hearing about jewish conspiracy theories, racism, sexism and homophobia and whatever bullshit they try to peddle. They are trying to make it so that you have to be right wing just to talk to anybody online.
it turns out that if you passively treat privately-owned websites as public utilities they will eventually slide to fascism along with the rest of capitalism
>>762255I'm just so sick of it bro, all the rightoids, they just rub me the wrong way. I don't find them pleasant at all. How could Elon Musk do that to Twitter? I was trying Bluesky though, but damn that website seems like it's full of and directed at mainly freaking old people. They kind of rub me the wrong way there too.
What do you mean they've been treated like public utilities?
Too bad it's really slow here
I forgot Reddit.
It feels weird to talk to actual leftists, almost like it's surreal, I'm so used to conservacucks and rightoids at this point it's hard to believe it's gotten this far for me. I tried going to Leftist Reddit out of frustration, but they get offended by practically everything and are snobs.
I've thought similar things, that we live now in a "post-truth" world, which has been really dismaying for me if I were to be honest. It does seem like people are really angry these days, but it's similar to the situation involving the Nazis more then anything. They were likewise, really angry and all that frustration, got re-directed and channeled at minorities and imperialist grandiose plots.
What I don't understand is how the people just keep falling for it, because it seems really obvious what is going on, especially in the age of information we live in, where it's easier to be informed. But it seems like maybe less intelligent people are less open to ideas that challenge their perception or world view and choose instead the most convenient and comfortable options to stay ignorant. It's just so ugly and brutish.
bilibili is like leftslop the internet. of course there are lots of right wingers, racists, etc on there but they are largely nerfed. actually it probably just depends on your algorithm but mine is like that rn. also mini side rant I wish leftists and especially anarchists understood that their content that they see is algorithmically generated towards their biases. 99% of arguments of "i cant believe someone like this exists, ALL THE SOCIALISTS/ANARCHISTS I KNOW BELIEVE THIS" can be STOPPED if they pause to comprehend that the internet is feeding you, or attempting to at least, to feed you content that, for lack of better words, that center around you. Of course you cant comprehend that shit, you're living in a fucking bubble. FUCK.
