The way that it's so impossible to tell what's organically popular and what's just a hype campaign is honestly so maddening, it's not as blatant as what they do with political campaigns but it is still an attack on democratic pluralism in a really significant way imo

e; 'pluralism'? where tf did you even remember that from - searches -

Pluralism thus tries to encourage members of society to accommodate their differences by avoiding extremism (adhering solely to one value, or at the very least refusing to recognize others as legitimate) and engaging in good faith dialogue.

I mean, sure, but just not with genocidal people, right?

One of the more famous arguments for institutional pluralism came from [noted slavery advocate and slave owner] James Madison in The Federalist paper number 10

Maaaann, I hate politics
