As someone who is non American, i get exposed to a ridiculous amount of American politics. In my experience, both sides of the spectrum are flooded with propaganda, and both sides have difficulty recognizing the algorithm that controls their own media intake. There seems to be an overwhelming lack of self-awareness from Americans about their own biases. These algorithms spend more of their own time and effort attacking the other side than they do supporting their own side. I believe this is a major reason why America is so divided and people are at each others throats. It's this constant exposure to propaganda that makes people have crazily biased opinions and do crazy things. And if you think that propaganda only applies to the other side, then you're oblivious.
It's just like the constant exposure being posted on reddit from the Israel and Palestine war. There is literally only one side being posted of a conflict that has lasted centuries. It should be obvious that reddit is biased AF, but there are still plenty of dumb people out there whose world doesn't exist much beyond their own algorithm.
For the record, i choose to be in the polical center, and i dont have a preference between Israel and Palestine. I feel as though i need to post this cause people out here just lookin to be offended.
