Not even remotely the same. Being on Facebook actively funds fascism there is no other way to look at it.
So does purchasing groceries at Walmart, but many Americans have no choice in that matter.
I do appreciate that you had a more empathetic comment for the guy whose girlfriend is still on Facebook. Thank you for having the civility to not call her a fascist sympathizer to his face. But don't worry, your true feelings are safe with me.
This is not how you make allies btw.
We are way beyond finding allies. Call it what it is.
Does Walmart actively distort your news, your information, your opinions? Does it select what you see to push an agenda? Does it require yo to provide information about who you are and who your friends are?
I have a distaste for people shopping at wallmart, but this is beyond that.
Remember, there is nothing Facebook provides that anyone needs. It is a choice.
