The problem is everyone else who picks a side, and then jumps in arse first with a lot of opinions and very little information that isnt just headlines and buzzwords. People are so fucking angry all the time. And they blame the “other side” for it, not once considering that for every right wing grifter, theres a left wing grifter turning the screw just as hard in order to get likes, shares and subscribes.
Only the time of the online influencer became a thing, we were all fucked. Covid just accelerated to ludicrous speed, and now dark helmet is up all our asses.

Are you really comparing online influencers to actual governmental powers literally stripping our rights and caging people for having the wrong skin color in the name of theocratic fascism while supporting a literal “religious” genocide?
What the fuck is wrong with you?

Who is doing that? Let me guess, the algorithm…
But no, I wasnt doing that. But its all part of the same problem. The culture wars. What youre seeing is the result of all of you running in to it blind as fuck. Thinking everything you see is truth, and everything they say is a lie. And they do the same with you. And theres always a really good reason.
Trump might be a cunt, but that doesnt mean theres not an army of influencers out there generating content to feed your outrage. I mean, look at say The Critical Drinker. Hes one dude, who reviews movies. Pushes the right wing side of things. Right? Not search the name on youtube, and youll find so many people chatting shit about what he said and did, just to get you to click and watch. And thats just one example.
If it demands a click, a like, a share, a subscribe, its content. Not fact. Treat it as such.

Meth is a helluva drug, eh?
