politics

they are not inherently wrong

no one is

Maybe don’t believe mainstream news then

hell you talk about being misled you retweet Hassan fucking Abi lmao

that money from those billonaires go directly to fund advertisements for politicians and policies, every dollar raised by those PACs are used for misinformation

All corruption can be solved if you make it legal to execute the lowest 5 polling politicians each year

if people are too stupid to figure out that they are being fed misingormation then its the peoples fault

they don’t even believe the videos when they see them

About basic shit

it's that one saying: "fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me"

How do you determine what to believe and what not to believe?

Get your information from multiple sources

Watch the video if there is one

The average person will not do that

that's the problem

Yes

and it's the average persons fault for being stupid

Doesnt matter whose fault it is

that’s their fault not the system

everyone gets screwed

if the average person wasnt so easy to trick, then the politicians wouldnt be doing it

that’s not proof of the system being rigged against them

Its more so, through their own stupidity, they are rigging the system against themselves

(and everyone else)

Rich people pay money to trick the average person into electing the politicians the rich people want into office

The real trick is to realize all politicans are bad and corrupt

all of them

there is good ones

why wouldn't they do that

and as long as it doesn't ruin the average person's life then they will never realize they were tricked

its the individuals responsibility to not let themselves be misled

It doesn't matter whose responsibility it is

everybody gets screwed

it is the root of the problem that should be changed

Bruh

that is exactly what should be changed

if you don't fix the root, the problem will only come back

wait i misread that

It would be impossible to get the average person to do all that research about every issue

no it's the billionaries funding the spreading of disinformation

and foreign governments

they do that because they can. and they can only do that because of the average person

And it would be impossible to change the average persons mindset enough that they cannot do that

Muddying the water around the truth to make it harder to find the truth is an effective tactic Dialga. Since people do not have infinite time, if you increase the time needed to find the correct information, then people really have no chance to even begin to not be retarded

it's not impossible, you just think it is because it's difficult

the mindset of a population can change, and it has happened in the past

Dialga, xBrox thought Nintendo was closing down because she saw an article today

The mindsets of populations have only ever changed around politicians and governments, not the search for the truth

I don't think xBrox is particularly dumb, but people glace at something and internalize it without thinking sometimes

mindset changes only happen when things get to bad for disinformation to cover up

👺Emoji61 Emoji1

and when xbrox was presented with different information she corrected her thinking

Yeah, but what if you don't see the correct information

ever

exactly

because there is too much information flooding you

and everyone around you also fell for the false info

so none of them can question it

exactly

So, in short, Ted Kaczynski was right and we should all go back to living in the woods

You mean

he was right

mail bombs

etc

yes

let's say theoretically these billionaires were magically prevented from spreading misinformation on mass media. Someone would find another way to deceive the population still

because they are so easy to trick

Yes, but they would have far less reach

and be easier to counter

i dont think you should be using the nintendo shutting down article as your proof people can change their thinking

I don't, but xBrox falling for that was really funny

i only used it as an example because pika brought it up lol

This is the plot to metal gear solid 2

grimace based

People get jaded that their votes don't change things instantly, which is a feature not a problem

21 year old idealists are just convinced that "the system is rigged" because it's not changing radically and rapidly to suit what they view as being necessary
