Unlike previous attempts at trying reddit alternatives (like Voat), kbin and much of the lemmyverse doesn’t seem to be plagued with extreme far right buffoonery.

What a boring and unnecessary opinion to have. You're not their doctor, they arent your patients, what business is it of yours? and to go on about sharing that uneducated, untrained, unsolicited opinion online and then complaining about censorship when your medical advice is not well received.. I just can't wrap my head around the entitlement.

fascism doesnt play fair in the marketplace of ideas, if you invite a nazi to sit at your table you've made it a nazi table. free speech is necessary and important, but we still draw lines for things like defamation and hate speech. another line is not offering a platform to fascists, they arent entitled to a seat at the table to spread fud.

you're like "but i'm not a nazi" , great, let's keep it that way.

Texas places traps of razorwire barrels to stop migrants from crossing the Rio Grande

Generally the answer has been to invest in your neighbors and lift the third world out of poverty so they feel happy and secure where they are and so arent swarming your borders. That mentality seems to have lost momentum though, even here you struggle to even imagine it.

It's certainly not an inevitable situation to have pregnant women and children drowning in the rio grande tied up in american razor wire as border patrol watches on eating donuts in their air conditioned SUV's. It could've and can be prevented.

promoting the “woke” culture of 2020

this isnt a problem, it's the nature of star trek.. the problem is they didnt do it through thought provoking metaphors, they just point at literally the problem with a grimace and that's it. The TOS episode with the half black half white face aliens at war with the half white half black face aliens is an example of how they could take more interesting angles that still promotes being awake to systemic injustice in the world.
