> It can be foreign actors exploiting a country's problems, e.g., gun violence, racism, pandemic response, religious differences, etc., to sow division among the population. Doesn't even have to be foreign. I think most of the propaganda the majority is exposed to comes from our own media and the politicians they cover. When they tell us not to trust X and Y that's just them being scared of losing the narrative. The US is the most extreme in a western context (don't know much about the east I don't speak their language), the level of polarization in their media is mind-blowing. From the outside it's fucked up to read, and even worse to see normal people acting like this is somehow the other sides' fault. People need an enemy today, and it can't be those in charge they're making sure of that.
