It's hard not to fedjacket half the Lemmy instances, the way they kowtow to every liberal totem.
Some number of admins are absurdly compromised. The only question is which ones and to whom.
doesn't have to be feds, liberal true believers are naturally gonna rise to positions of power in any social structure that isn't overtly based on opposing the prevailing ideology. it will even happen in groups which are opposed to the prevailing ideology, which is why being vigilant about combatting liberalism is so important.
Maybe. But it is not necessary. A big part of the reason why Liberals are so annoying is the basic fact that Liberalism is an idealistic philosophy. At the very root of everything is the belief that if enough people believe in something, it is sure to happen. This is why when it comes to Liberalism, everything is an awareness campaign. All we need to do is identify the good beliefs, never stop shouting the good beliefs at the top of our lungs, and liberal utopia will manifest itself.
A lot of these people are true believers, who see themselves as the front line soldiers of an information war. They see the demise of the United States, or the western liberal democratic alliance more broadly not as a material process, not as the chickens coming home to roost, but SIMPLY as a crisis of epistemology. The masses are wrong because not enough of them understand we are the good guys! There may be some fed admins floating around, but I am convinced that the admins of .world genuinely believe criticism of the United States on social media will lead to the extinction of democracy and that they are "doing their part" to save it.
