It's also Americans not doing anything about it for the last two generations. The right-wing propoganda machine has been a threat for literally my entire life, but it has been allowed to complete its ultimate goal without anyone actually trying to stop it.
Oh boy, I am seeing it first half my country. An old friend of mine shares right wing propaganda several times a day, and doesn't matter how many times I try to counter argument - he just doesn't care. No reply, no reaction, no nothing. Not even responding to DMs.
Lost cause these people, and I've got better things to do than driving two hours just to knock on his door and talk some fucking sense into him.
At least I am getting positive reaction from people who see what kind of bullshit he shares.
I honestly think the answer has to be banning the content. I don't understand why we allow people to lie and demonize minorities on the internet and TV, it seems pretty obvious what giving a platform for hateful ideology leads to. For Americans, this level of censorship was a bridge too far, but hopefully other countries realize that it's a necessary bulwark against the rise of fascism.
But how could we ban the content when the owners of the media are fascists? When all three branches of the government are dominated by people who rely on this messaging?
There was a time when this wasn't the case, and there was independent media in the United States. Unfortunately, that was when it needed to be nipped in the bud.
I honestly think that removing the Fairness Doctrine doesn't get pointed to enough as one of Reagan's massive blows to the U.S.
