It’s extremely important to remember and talk widely about the republican capture of US media - this is exactly the point
They scream and scream for weeks about nothing, then bury the real news. It could be the path to fixing america
We need pirate radio
Eh, what? In the old days, the means of mass communication were limited or expensive, so sure stuff like pirate radio made sense.
But nowadays, anybody can start an Internet radio station for very little money. Or a YouTube channel or whatever. The problem is people not listening, not that they are prohibited or prevented from listening to you.
That means nothing when the search engines and algorithms don't let them show up.
Well, yes. But how would a pirate radio be any better?
No idea, but the youtube and internet radio aren't solutions either.
That doesn't stop people from sharing it with other people, you don't have to use megacorp services.
Completely agreed.

You don’t even need to be licensed for Citizen’s Band. Get started today!
This is how we got in this mess to begin with. Talk radio, then podcasts.
Well I guess at least some pirate radio would be saying "Did you know it's illegal to say that we should kill the president"

Can't be worse than every station being owned by Sinclair and ClearChannel anyway
Republicans are how we got in this mess. We need to leverage similar channels if they’ve proven to be effective
It's ultimately a both sides issue. The Republicans did this shit and the Democrats did fuck all to stop it.
Oh you sweet summer child
I'm not saying both sides are the same at all. I'm saying that both sides share blame for the current situation for different reasons.
How embarrassing for you to say
I'm not embarrassed by being correct.
The Democrats had a chance to lock Trump up and they sat on their hands for 4 years. The Democrats had a chance to block the horrendous spending bill, but they caved. The Democrats had the chance to stack the supreme court and they didn't.
It's no different than saying protest non-voters share the blame for Trump being elected.
Besides witty comebacks, do you have any arguments that can demonstrate your point?
How's it embarrassing if they're right?
...I don't know, man. I bootleg content and have adblocker. Since the only media I'm exposed to is social media, I'm only bombarded with left-wing propoganda.
Tankie opinion from a 1week old account?
Suspicious
Maybe they're talking about tankie propaganda?
I'm just telling you how it is. I'm pretty sure alot of the seemingly democrat propoganda on places like Lemmy and Reddit are actually Republican propaganda.
If a bot farm says anything that is perceived as pro-Republican, they will probably be banned immediately. It's a waste of their time and effort. I believe they get around this by posting unhinged pro-democrat messages; the moderators don't delete it because it is seemingly pro-democrat, but it drives undecided voters towards the Republican party.
... just you wait. As we get closer to the next election, this and other platforms will be overwhelmed with aggressive anti-police and pro-gender fluidity messaging. I believe the technical term for what is happening is "false flag operation."
