In the last 5 to 10 years everything seems to suck: product’s and services quality plummeted, everything from homes to cars to food became really expensive, technology stopped to help us to be something designed to f@ck with us and our money, nobody seems to be able to hold a job anymore, everyone is broke. Life seems worse in general.
Why? Did COVID made this happen? How?
Mostly late stage capitalism and Citizens United.
And social media propaganda… and just social media on general.
Social media is unregulated bc Citizens United allowed corp to buy our govt
It’s bigger than just Citizens United. That allows dark money to enter campaigns through super PACs that aren’t supposed to coordinate with candidates but absolutely do.
Even more concerning is malicious foreign actors using shills and bots to sway public opinion. An especially useful tool for authoritarian states that don’t have much oversight and want to erode democracies.
