There's a lot of media disinformation goes into keeping people that way.
It's a weird scenario. American politics is so loud and omnipresent that I, as a Brit on the Internet, end up following it involuntarily because it ends up in every discussion everywhere. But so much of it is just weird things made up by right wing talking heads.
- TheOtherHobbes 1y agoThe US oligarchy runs the biggest propaganda operation in history. From think tanks that sell neoliberal policy narratives, to captured journalists in the MSM, to Fox News and its imitators, to podcasts, megachurches, conventional media content, carefully curated addictive social media algorithms, paid SM influencers, troll and bot farms, normalised work ethics and workplace dynamics, adtech and the ad industry, and "edgy" sites like nChan - it's all managed messaging. It's targeted across all US demographics. Sometimes covertly. And increasingly it's fine-tuned towards individual interests and psychological triggers.
