I see you don't understand the concept of niches. Governments, fascists, and PR agencies are going to spend their effort where it makes the most impact. Only a brainwashed person couldn't comprehend that people could legitimately disagree with their world view, and anybody who thinks different from them must therefore be a paid troll.
And now you're defending the practice.
How about, you and the rest of the dumbasses pushing your propaganda garbage go find another place to peddle it? Like hell?
If you don't like it here then feel free to go somewhere else. Lemmy was a community of sane people who were capable of having civilized discussion, and then a bunch of reddit chuds flooded here and started acting like you own the place. Get over yourself.
Bahaha look at you. "Everyone who disagrees with me is a bootlicker/troll/westerner."
Edit for the bootlicking troll below: Ahem A straw man fallacy is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man".
You don't understand what a straw man is.
You're really bad at this. You even tried to copy my comment and failed miserably! Congratulations, you're stupid in two languages!
Bahaha look at you using straw man to attack me. Thanks for providing a good example of the kind of trolling I'm talking about.
