Shit retelling, missing out a lot of information between those last two paragraphs, its completely one sided and western perspective biased.
No mention that the protestors where armed and had been lynching and burning alive unarmed police and civil servants? Like this happened days before martial law, and it was in response to it.
Chromium?
No-ium
Posting on a website ran by an upper class fascist is just giving your name to the upcoming hitlist
You could just go on X if you feel like it, no ones stopping you. I dont know why anyones surprised a 'ML' website doesnt want to host content by the literal richest person on the planet who just seig heiled on a TV multiple times.
Meta isn’t quite there yet, but heading in the same direction.

Not all US media is the same.
You're right, some of it tells you to vote for the red team, the other tells you to vote for the blue team.
I agree, the US media isnt as bad as nazi germany, its worse!
No lol the country with the largest prison population, that generates private profit by holding its people captive and hands out billions of dollars to police, the DEA and the FBI to capture them, well it just needs to hand out even more billions of dollars of “resources” to these agencies so they can lock up the real criminals and then crime will be properly dealt with!
The people in prison for dealing drugs arent the same people dealing drugs with bitcoin, you conflate gang members, prescription drug resellers and corner standers with the profile of a typical darknet drug dealer, which arent the same demographics for the most part.
No way you actually think this is reality. No way enforcement could just be a deeply inefficient way of dealing with crime and the low hanging fruit along with making a show of token arrests is really all they care about.
Its the reality in the UK at least, only drug dealers who get caught here are the ones trying to ship in millions of worth of cocaine, the prisons are actually all full here and most drug crimes dont even get charged because the time limit they have to charge people expires by the time the courts become available.
As for the US, it remains a convient excuse for the police to suppress votes from demographics the upper class needs supressed; you wont be finding the people who supply elon musk with ketamine going to prison anytime soon, they will be smart enough to use monero!
And it was still quite literally used by 10,000's of vendors to sell illegal drugs?
I dont think it would have even been a thing if it was as easy as you suggest to catch people selling drugs on it. Sure, with enough resources, a dedicated law enforcement team can likely bust a drug dealer using BTC; but like with most things involving drugs and Neo-liberalism, the prisons are all full, the police are underfunded and can only occasionally make token arrests and the people who arent low hanging fruit get in and out without any interaction with the police.
this one said the quiet part out loud
If anything he made it easier for the rich to wash their money and buy ketamine
