For the first 2 points: Don't use "Western democracies". This is a US problem. Canada has much stronger labour and home protections.

3rd point: Getting banned online is a "you" problem. Your government has nothing to do with why your shitty opinions get you banned or muted. The fact that you even have the ability to complain about your government online is a luxury many other governments don't afford to their people.

4th point: Whining about cereal variety makes the entire argument hold less water. Who the fuck cares about brands of cereal. Buy your cereal or don't, but shut the fuck up about it. This is an empty complaint about capitalism.

5th point: Fair enough.

I don't directly mean you, OP. Unless you made the meme... In which case I do mean directly you.

In the US, maybe. But that’s considered a flawed democracy and getting worse all the time. Only 8% of the nations on earth are full democracies, a number that continues to fall because of the pessimism and stupidity promulgated by authoritarian regimes.

if I speak out online I could be muted or banned

Do you have any idea what social platforms look like when this is not the case?

Imagine being unironically anti-democracy and also claiming to be a socialist.

More like: I am so happy I live in america.

Everywhere else you have job protection and renters protection

If you think living in a non "western democracy" allows you to shit talk your boss or the government... I invite you to try.

I hope this won't be banned for wishing death on someone.

A lot of these comments reek of boot polish...

You live in USA, stop comparing your shit democracy with the rest of us

That’s the least this person deserves for that crime against readability.

Yeah there is a point to this, things got measurably worse, but we're also still measurably better than in non western democracies.

Good luck complaining about the government in China, for example. At least here I can complain whilst standing next to a 8th floor window, something you shouldn't try in Russia

What exactly are you telling your boss that's getting you fired? Most supervisors I've ever had would take authentic feedback really well. Are you just unloading emotions at them?

Your lease is based on a contract, your landlord can't evict you for "speaking out" about them unless it says so in your lease, which standard leases do not.

And wtf are you saying online that gets you "muted or banned?" People say all kinds of shit online, wtf are you talking about

Breakfast cereal is ridiculously overpriced and is not food. The only reason you should ever go down that aisle is if you want oatmeal.

coercive relationships are the root of evil

"Western" from european perspective tho. This is what reactionary-only regulation and fear of everything social got you into. No clue how to get you out of this without blood shed.

There are 3 cereal companies? I thought there were only 2 that owned them all.

I'll just drop this here.

I remember when online interactions didn't make me paranoid... But it seems power-tripping banhappy idiots exist everywhere, at least they do on reddit.

Took me awhile to realize Lemmy isn't like that.
