  Social media and news is overwhelmingly controlled or otherwise influenced/flooded by the right or those acting on their behalf.

    It’s pretty easy to explain too. Social media and traditional media are all owned by billionaires and they want to push a rightwing agenda because that means less taxes for them and fuck everyone else.

      They are also pushing the identity politics, so we are distracted fighting among ourselves instead of uniting against them

        I mean it wouldn’t be a problem if people didn’t get angry about minorities having rights. So a large part of the problem is there truly are a lot of deplorable people who have some truly abhorrent views and the rich are taking advantage of that.

        The reason the rich are pushing right-wing politics is that they know socially conservative people are ready to give the wealthy whatever they want so long as they can tread on the humanity of minorities. That’s really the only reason.

        If the rich could get tax cuts from pushing for social rights for minorities they would do that instead, but social liberals are less gullible than the conservatives.

        I keep hearing this, and I’ve been ready to fight back against them for decades, but I don’t ever see the revolution.

        Unless you count occupy wallstreet, which lasted like 2 weeks, and nobody remembers.

      Its not even about taxes but straight up class warfare. Lately billionaires noticed that they are not as untouchable as they thought they were and now they’re aligned to fix this.

        There’s no class war, at least not in a country like the US: the billionaires have been into the pillaging stage of their conquest for decades and they’re just making sure the riff-raff remain out of their way.

        Things are well beyond the “elites” merely taking an unfairly outsided cut of the growth and well into taking from the rest that which they and their parents accumulated, hence why quality of life for the majority has been going down for a while now and the last two Generations are set to be worse off than their parents.

    No, it’s not that it’s controlled. It’s that none of you participate or share this stuff. “They’re owned by X” argument is just an excuse.

      You’re reading about it from someone who shared it right now. Derp.

  I’ll give you a hint: billionaires don’t buy newspapers, social media and TV channels with shitty-shit Returns On Investment (if at all profitable) to make money from them - what they’re really buying isn’t the business, it’s an audience for “opinion making”.
