MODERATORS
they all have youtube channels that inexplicably have like millions of subscribers
Is it really that inexplicable? Trump got millions of votes. 30% of the vote in France went to a right-wing party. There are a ton of people who think too much diversity is a problem in media. (Thankfully, no one outside of their circles takes them seriously, but still.)
Like, real talk, this whole culture war chud shit infects at least 30% of Anglos. (I'm lowballing here... don't want to know the real number.)
i grew up in a state where that is basically the norm and people are quite okay with it... i don't go back to visit but every once in a great long while one of my old friends will send me a bigoted text out of the blue
I am deep down sure it is a psyop. Conservative media is just given more prominence. It could be through the algorithm directly, or through them getting better add rates. Probably a bit of everything. Conservatism is good for business. So everyone has a vested intrest in pushing it.
You don't have to go as far as it being a conspiracy. The bourgeois push far-right talking points because fascism is materially beneficial to them. This trickles down from your Fox News and your CNNs to The Based Anti-Woke Crusader and other such social media.
Exactly- There is no deep conspiracy. Fascism makes them money - so they are selling it to the people.
