    I’ll stay on Rednote until our “free” country bans that too to maintain capitalist control of the narrative.

    We can talk about Luigi without our “free” country censoring us on our billionaire fascist owned social media, too.

      you literally just invoked his name. without restrictions. no retribution.

      you are either the best useful idiot, or the worst troll.

      You think we’re still capitalist? Im not sure what to call the economy of this protofascist state but it isn’t capitalist with the amount the new administration is backing specific businesses.

        That’s still capitalism. I believe that might fall under cronyism? That, or simply oligarchy would work. But it’s still capitalism.

          In capitalism the state is expressly not interfering on behalf of one business versus another. This would be like a communist state that had a stock market. It fundamentally goes against acore principle of the philosophy

            Then, the US hasn’t been capitalist in a long time. Probably never was. The government has always interfered in the interest of one group or another. Sometimes, that group is (was) the public at large when it comes to labor or environmental rights. Sometimes, it’s in favor of big business. Oftentimes, it is. Interfering on behalf of one specific big business over another is just the latest step in the road of corruption that has been brazen since Citizens United was passed.

            The invisible hand of the free market has never existed. The rich have always been kept in check by government interference.
