I see a lot of panic about Gen Z/Gen AA that fears they might all get radicalised by tik tok and all become white supremacist conspiracy theorists but I want to counterpoint that by saying that if people were swayed, unconditionally, by the media environment they grow up around, Millennials would be the most pro-war generation of all time
I guess for me the question is where exactly do we stick the pin in to push the bubble? Because one of the reasons this propaganda eventually failed was specifically because even the Bush government couldn't keep up the lie that Iraq was holding WMDs, and I think the combination of that and the killing of bin Laden during the Obama administration are two of the biggest reasons why the US's Republican party is like that. Like how do you fuck with these guys in a way that basically mandates that they proactively discuss their failures now?
