    Why is the leftist approach is to platform the opposition while the rights approach is to overwhelm the space until it does what they want?

    Which approach do you think is working and which one do you think is failing?

      Those spaces are overrun by bots, so have fun fighting against a never ending army of CPUs that doesn’t sleep. I am going to protect my sanity and not give them my time and energy (which equals their money).

      Which approach do you think requires more money and cooperation from the network management?

        Neither.

        Both sides have money. In fact the left has much more money than the right.

        We’re not even talking about big money here. The average right leaning person will give a dollar to any thing they agree with. The left mull over the morality and ethics of a thing until it passes then they say “well I would punch a Nazi if I ever needed to” but they can’t even muster the energy to read a comment they disagree with.

        Look at the donations given to random assholes who said something anti vaccination. Millions of donating poured in. Look at that women that yelled racial slurs at kids in a park. Millions.

        I saw Jon Stewart posted here the other day and the comments were calling him a fascist.

        We’re fucking done.

          I asked which approach requires more money, not who has more. You said the left doesnt want to spend that money, ok. Maybe the mass of liberals collectively has more money, maybe. Not the left though. And the network cooperation part? Which agendas are being priviledged by the recomendation algorithms in social medias?

          I think you forgot to say the reason why you think the left has more money than the right.
