Does it even make a difference? Would much appreciate some suggestions.

Marxists in general are in favor of controlling the speech of the bourgeoisie, as were Marx and Engels:

>6. Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.

Marxists are not "anti-free speech," nor are Hexbear and Lemmy.ml. Rampant misinformation and bigotry should be removed, and is. Marxists, including .ml and Hexbear, are absolutely pro-Human Rights. Marxists do hate liberals, liberals are pro-Capitalism apologists, and thus liberalism has been a target of Socialists of all stripes since liberalism became a thing.

How do you create so many nearly identical posts? Is it just copy pasta? Is it full automation? I mean holy shit, if I created a bot, it would react to questions like this.

In case you didn't read that thing here's that thing again. Ehhh.

In this case, I copied and pasted a response to a comment they copied and pasted. I'm not doing it for them, but for onlookers, I don't genuinely think psythik is going to be meaningfully convinced either way. Leaving psythik's comment open and unopposed, though, isn't preferable either, as bad takes should be properly elaborated on.

I tend to just link previous comments I have made, in most cases. I copy and paste responses far less now than I used to. In my defense, though, when you see the same talking points from different people, they don't always need a unique bespoke response, and I don't actually spend all that much time on Lemmy out of my day.
