    Account created two weeks ago, posting pretty much only right-wing propaganda comments. A bit suspicious...

    That happened during the Biden administration though, now the situation has changed quite drastically

    Why though? I'm worried these technologies may take my job away and make the balance between capital and labor even more uneven. Why should I be happy?

    Just because the new name may be geographically accurate doesn't mean it was a good idea to change it. The change was clearly for propaganda reasons, and that is what makes people …

    Worth noting that most of that user's history is right wing propaganda

    My feed was mostly leftist but since musk took over I started seeing a lot of musk posts and far-right propaganda. Twitter is far from being a neutral platform.

    > Musk was left-leaning not so long ago So what? He's been clearly far right leaning since before he purchased Twitter. He's been one of the main supporters of the Trump campaign a…

    How can a platform owned by a far-right man with a clear political agenda be the place for "political balance"? It's inevitable that left-leaning people will increasingly leave Twi…

    There were other similar (ie. nasal) vaccine candidates for COVID, like the Cuban MAMBISA [0], though it seems it never got final approval

    For sure the situation won't improve under the current government, but there have been improvements in the past. TBH I just hope that honest taxpayers (which I'm sure are the major…

    Indeed, the Italian state is totally capable of enforcing taxes. However it lacks the political will to go after (especially some categories of) tax evaders, as they're a big sourc…

    How is this relevant to my comment? As an Italian I agree that taxes are rather high, but enforcing them only on a subset of citizens while happily allowing another subset to easil…

    It's not really an arms race, it's more an inbalance between different categories of citizens. Employees can hardly avoid taxes (as long as they're regular workers), while autonomo…

    Unfortunately, in the current economic system having a bullshit job is way better than having no job (unless you're rich of course).

    You’re claiming that a relevant amount of Americans accused Trump of being Xenophobe due to his remarks on TikTok. Do you have any source to back that claim?

    Same here. Growing up fully immersed in the capitalist world it’s easy to think that this is the natural state of things. This book, among others, helped me change perspective and …

    Fun fact, George Soros (the banker much targeted by conspiracy theorists) is a native Esperanto speaker, as he was raised to speak the language but his father, who was a well known…
