The average person has difficulty admitting when they are incorrect.

Yes, Reagen is considerably more responsible for the current economic landscape than orange man. Consumer culture is an even bigger contributor to the disparity in wealth than any politician.
But tribalism is strong on both sides, while both sides want to believe they're above it.
It really puts into perspective how 'intelligent' the average person is these days.
What lemmy instances allow freedom of speech?
Except the for all the other tech-minded people here...
It's more than that.
The average person is legitimately afraid of knowledge.
This is where everyone from the old internet retreated to.
All we need now are instances that allow freedom of speech.
Probably not, since most people don't know this kind of information about most countries.
I'm asking about data stored on servers.
Lemmy, for example, has its instances owned by people and those people can do whatever they want with the data that is stored on their servers. If there is ever a legal issue involving a user's posts on Lemmy, how can courts or law enforcement determine that the owner hasn't manipulated the data to protect or harm the user?
Sure, they can look at other servers' since Lemmy is federated. But in the case of a non-federated service (which most are) or instance, this kind of verification wouldn't be possible.
I guess you don't know what consumerism means, or you're not willing to admit its drawbacks because you're a part of it.
