Lots of suspicious comments in this thread. Seems like political astro-turfing has already arrived on Lemmy

You are so far right that you call anything and everything to your left astroturfing. You've been in a bubble for so long that it's a culture shock when you meet actual leftists.

Unlike Reddit, where the news pieces and opinions that are the most prominently featured are not influenced in any way, shape, or form by powerful institutions who want to push an agenda

Unless you have investigated a problem, you will be deprived of the right to speak on it.

Isn't that too harsh? Not in the least.

When you have not probed into a problem, into the present facts and its past history, and know nothing of its essentials, whatever you say about it will undoubtedly be nonsense.
