These days i get quite a lot of US news off Lemmy, and aside from Tesla torchings (great start) I mostly just hear about people going to rallies. Are there actually americans out there obstructing something? If so, why aren’t they sharing their own news for solidarity and motivation of masses? How is capitalist media causing fediverse content to be censored?
I’m not very familiar with Portuguese history but my understanding is that authoritarianism in Portugal was ended by the carnation revolution, which was a military coup. I’m curious what this person means as well. You can’t vote out authoritarianism, at best you get a dictator kind enough to decide to step down when asked.
