> However, the bulk of the content appears aimed at creating a sense of dismay over the state of America without any clear partisan bent. It focuses on issues like urban decay, the fentanyl crisis, dirty drinking water, police brutality, gun violence and crumbling infrastructure. These are not election-specific narratives and have been a significant feature of Spamouflage’s content over several years. While not explicitly linked to the election, however, this content clearly also feeds into the attempt to create a sense of dissatisfaction with the state of the country among voters, as well as potentially engendering a sense of chaos in the US amongst international audiences.
This is not exactly news, and there are plenty of American videos exposing these issues for years now. Maybe Congress should be spending that inflation printed money fixing them so that we don’t have to wait for a new president to get to work.
- cqqxo4zV46cp 3y agoYou aren’t responding to / speaking to this article at all. You are responding to the hypothetical propaganda that it’s talking about. That doesn’t feel on topic at all. The point is that they aren’t election-specific issues.
- celdon25 3y ago> The point is that they aren’t election-specific issues. According to you and the mainstream media, yes, but not the voters. The point is that if you don’t want other countries to tell us how much we suck, we can maybe stop sucking. And our own propaganda machine is doing a great job of getting in the way of that, all the way down to the kids on reddit telling you you’re a bad person if you don’t vote a certain way. I won’t be voting for the incumbent for reasons that are supposedly not “election issues”.
