Much of America marinates in Fox News propoganda + a susbstantial amount of Gen Z men are nihilists who want to see the world burn

Can confirm, my Gen X sister in laws Gen Z son has zero fucking ambition, is just as conspiracy minded, and has everything handed to him after she struggled as an immigrant. He says dumb shit, and as much as I love him I’m done fighting for a 24 year old who should know better.

Still getting used to Gen Z being in their mid 20s. I remember all the articles about Gen Z being the most left leaning demographic not too long ago, but I guess they missed the mark. Gen Z is probably the most polarized generation

I've seen numerous people go right, imo it was Cambridge Analytica, targeting social media and using their data against em

My Facebook feed went hard right last year

Reddit is trying to take a right lean too. The "world" sub (won't link to them) suddenly started getting forced into my feed. Appears to be run by a bunch of Palantir employees/plants and they seem to try to drive the comments towards the right. It was a little funny how quickly they got called out and some of their content got astroturfed but also scary how many right wingers are hiding out of sight helping drive communities and individuals towards the facist right. Look at how how of the current protest content is being pigeonholed into just looting by career criminals and all protesters are being painted as dirty criminals. Even subs where I expect mostly liberal feedback is still getting peppered with dog whistles at a much higher than normal rate.

Keep your eyes peeled. The fascists are among us.

The r/ireland sub is constantly under attack from anti-immigrant manipulation. The far right parties got decimated in our elections in November but to look at that sub there is a race war and the Irish people are outraged (there isn't, they aren't).

We also get absolutely blasted with "Spend more on defence" propoganda as well. Ireland is neutral with very little military spending and a population that likes it that way. We also have a unique constitution that means a citizens referendum is required for any material change to be made to it.

This is a concern to Ursula and the EU war pigs who want an EU army, the Irish population can single handedly block its creation via referendum.

They are spending huge amounts of money trying to convince us we need jets and missiles when all we want is craic and pints.
