Every time I go on social media, I see people falling over each other on holy crusades based on prescribed ideology and the flimsiest of evidence, thanks in no small part to selective reporting and double standards of the nationalistic/partisan media outlets they subscribe to. In addition, whatever you believe in, there's always a good number of people ready to feed you often bullshit evidence to confirm your world view; the echo chamber effect is stronger than ever. Do you really think people conditioned to this environment can really resist orchestrated state propaganda broadcasted on all national media (for instance, how often do you see "(anonymous) government/military official says blah blah" on all of them)?
