MODERATORS
Our society sucks because advertisers would rather be associated with far-right fascists than content that like 90% of the internet is for.
Advertisers are commercial.
Commercial interests are capitalist.
Capitalist interests are hierarchical.
Hierarchical interests have to retain their structure either through deception or by power of force.
As a Venn diagram its a bunch of concentric circles.
The internet spreads information like California wildfire, which nullifies false notion about the failure of capitalist equity.
So yes, fascist rhetoric, disinformation and obstruction of internet interconnectivity are the last recourses of commercial enterprises.
Yayyyyyy American puritanism!
