MODERATORS
I singlehandedly doorknocked thousands of houses, explicitly convinced dozens of people to find better news sources and support progressive candidates in primaries and general elections, and helped elect an attorney general who I genuinely trust (most relevant to this discussion; he is a close ally of Bernie Sanders). A lot more productive than complaining anonymously online like so many do on Lemmy and Reddit and other social media.
The direct action to which I'm referring is the boycott, not either of us discussing our choices online.
Bernie is a great example of this issue - we seemingly get really close to lots of wonderful things, only for them to be shot down at the last minute. The Princeton study suggests that this is a deliberate method of control.
Good clarification. I appreciate you sharing that, it has definitely changed my perspective. It's nice to have an objective study like that. I hope we can break free from this control in my lifetime.
