They in this case being libs in liberal democracies, not democrats specifically.

One way to resolve the contradiction between the capitalist class, which the state represents, and the masses, whom the state requires to maintain power is for the masses to believe their representatives want what's best for them, but are powerless to implement it due to foreigners or nature or some other group, or are trying and it will happen some indeterminate time in the future.

What's this today? Been in the fediverse for barely 2 weeks only to be dissapointed by the same manufactured consent from its users (minus the bots).
All of a sudden I see anti-capitalist posts and based comments.
The 'libs' in Europe would be the shamelessly named socialist parties.
Invariably being horrible and keeping the status quo with only difference that they now and then throw a bone to the beloved working class and have their larping day on the 1st of may, sing the internationale like they mean it.

You're on .world. It leans right-wing, essentially trying to be reddit 2 and having de-federated from the explicitly Marxist-Leninist lemmygrad.ml and Communist/Anarchist hexbear.net

I know about these 2 also just learned they defederated (and what that means).
Any more tips?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 15 hours ago

.world defederated from them, meaning .world accounts cannot see their content. They still have very active posting, just not in your view.

I know it's tough, but consider making another account on an instance that is defederated with as few instances as possible. Then you can pick and choose which instance you yourself don't want to see anymore.

You can block instances, communities, and users in your settings menu.

Any recommendations for such an instance? Or recommendations on where to find such information?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 15 hours ago

You're already on one, though if you want even broader lemm.ee works. I, however, instead recommend checking out instances and their local feeds directly by picking from here, sorted by most active, then scrolling by local.

You're on .world. You're gonna see Reddit libs first and foremost

Blue conservatives

And nothing from lemmygrad since .world defederated from it.
