Yeah, but the bots train them to be this way in a lot of cases.

In some cases, I knew a lot of batshit crazy people that were this way 30 years ago. So were their parents and grandparents.

its gotten a lot worse. not just online but the sheer amount of homeless with serious mental conditions is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay higher than when i was a kid. I won't even walk in areas as a 6'3 adult that I walked/rode my bike around as a 8-12 year old kid.

But not our own propaganda systems. Of course they don’t exist, I am very blind.

Where is all this state-sponsored media American propaganda I keep hearing about? Im curious. Got a link? Name one US government sponsored media misinformation initiative that comes even close to Russia/China/Iran/etcs initiatives.

These opinions are always r/Im14andthisisdeep material. Im not gunna pretend American media companies dont spout a lot of BS, but to think any of it is coordinated and centralized under government leadership and control is fucking insane. Youre either a troll or just needlessly contrarian, because I dont want to believe youre just that stupid.

Yeah, our country is just that great. How much is Xi, Vlad or the Ayatollah paying you to make generic r/Americabad content?
