Welcome to lemmy, where users will believe anything they read if it’s anti USA.
I believe the antivax movement was able to take root because the US has cultivated an intense distrust of the medical system.
You pay high medical insurance premiums only to get denied when it’s time to cash in.
You avoid calling for an ambulance because the ride alone will bankrupt you.
You go to the ER only to get hundreds of dollars in fine for over the counter Tylenol.
The public was trained by the medical institutions to look for any excuse to reject them. The antivax movement was a way to express that distrust, even if unconsciously. Politicians simply lit that major oil spill and gave it a voice.
Likewise, we live in a capitalistic hellscape where no one can afford homes and cars to take them to jobs where they’re underpaid and can be let go in an instant, not due to performance, but because an executive wanted another tax break on the dragon money hoard they refuse to put back into the economy.
Like with the antivaxers, we have been conditioned to expect the worst and that impacts our gut reactions.
I have to admit it does seem like there is a lot of that here.
That’s because you aren’t in a bastion of US propaganda. You know like reddit or Facebook. They don’t control the narrative here.
The US does horrible things everyday, like feeding Israel weapons of genocide with no limits. Why shouldn’t we talk poorly on US everyday?
The US is also by far the largest financial donor to the Palestinians, at around $600 million per year.
Yes? Not sure what your point is? I’m sure all those dead Palestinians really appreciate not being alive to enjoy that donation.
