MODERATORS
I honestly think that if not for your MSM, most people would be reasonable. The MSM is abusing people's natural hatred of injustice up to a fever pitch at all the wrong things.
I don't know we can really blame MSM. It certainly is contributing to a degree, but for one, online misinformation is arguably a greater problem than, and for another, people were terrible and unreasonable before mass media was ever a thing. It's not like slave holders thought slavery was great because the 17th century mainstream media told them it was fine that black people weren't people.
There's been systemic cultural problems forever.
Social media (Meta) is the number one reason these days. When Facebook decided to add news and other bs to old peoples’ feeds it was all over after that.
