Because the disinformation warfare targets anglosphere.
I’m going to say like 95% of humanity. And I’m really talking worldwide, not just US. We have been made apathetic. The world would be better if the average person cared more.
I am going to say 99% of the wealthy people in charge of media could care less about humanity. This creates an illusion that this is normal since all our media echoes their sentiments. The world would be a better place if they were not in charge.
the wealthy people in charge of media could not care less about humanity
I will remember that for when I write a formal piece. Thanks Grammar Nazi!
Grammar uber alles.
I think a lot of it is overload from the Internet. Our brains are simply not designed to handle the unfathomably immense, endless torrent of information.
It happened on a much smaller scale before, the common trope of younger people being more idealistic and it generally fading away as the years go by. But now that progression is happening at hyper speed, and it's getting faster daily.
This isn't fuvking passive. This is actively cultivated by the fuckers who control the algorithms, because it makes it easier to turn us against our own interests so we can be exploited.
It's from many directions. Yes there are people owning social media who contribute to it, but also foreign powers use this for warfare against West. They managed to turn country's own population to act against their own interest and against their government.
It isn't just US that is being attacked this way, it is the whole West.
Well the good news is that it's way less than half of humanity. Most of humanity consists of nice respectable people that sometimes have disagreements.
Then there is a sliver of criminals that steal your car, for example. These are assholes
Then there is a tiny sliver of narcissistic psychopathic people that steal everything, give back nothing, cause nothing but misery and death and then tell you it's your fault. These are the scum of the earth and we should leave them with nothing so that they know how it is.
For many minorities there is a lot more than a sliver of humanity that hold very hateful views against them. Like, I'm not saying that most people are homophobic but it's an awful damn lot.
Sorry I'm sucking up all the Empathy... It will probably get better after I die.
Sorry I'm sucking up all the Empathy
Huh. I thought that was me. Do... do we have to fight now? Like Highlander? CAN THERE BE ONLY ONE?
Yeah but for empathy so you got it backwards.
Ill get the needle+thread+condoms.
Its called psychopathy
As bad as those are, no. This shit is worse.
