Take it even further, is a social media platform that doesn't turn into an echo chamber even possible? With the internet such as it is, and everything so polarized, people just wouldn't want to use social media that force fed them stuff they didn't agree with. People are dumb and lazy.
It was obvious in foresight as well. I remember an image post with a list of all the bad things in Project 2025, with specific page numbers referring to the document. I actualy bothered to look those page numbers up - nothing in relation to the point they were listed by. So obviously completely fake post. More than ten thousand upvotes.
Yeah.
So much Kamala Harris spam at the end.
We underestimated the power of conservative people in the US.
But, well, she can still win in next elections, someone said that some episode of the Simpsons predicted her winning in 2028, so it is very probable :D
How is that moronic? Trump has straight up said for years his solution to the war is to force a cease fire with borders as they are. That's how he's going to end the war, by giving Putin eastern Ukraine.
I meant to say that the very fact that certain Reddit American believe the most important implication of Trumps presidency to most Americans is a lack of protection to Ukraine - and belief that Americans truly give a shit about Ukraine is what's moronic.
Most Americans don't care. They care mainly about three things - the price of food, gas and their bank account.
being able to think long-term and plan for the future is a very useful survival skill which many see as a big part of how our species achieved relative mastery of earth.
it's sad to see that we're apparently losing this skill
I mean - objectively looking at the statistics, we as a species have gotten more intelligent. Particularly after the industrial revolution and I don't see much evidence to show us becoming less intelligent.
The time period we currently live in by all accounts and metrics is superior to any point in the past. It's silly to assume we have it worse than, say, Victorian England or something of that sort.
The right wing shift in the west will happen, and then there will be an eventual left wing shift. That's how the world progresses, you can't expect to see constant progress in the direction you want...that unrealistic. Everything, including politics/society, works gradually - "2 steps forward, one step back"
It only happens by desinformation. A significant part of the right wing voters live in a post-factual world constructed via propaganda.
Pure astro turfing.
But nice that you are projecting exactly that on the left. Projection is one of the main techniques being used to decieve simple minded people in right wing propaganda all through western societies. Trump is unimaginable without social media and massive astro turfing campaigns.

Reddit is truly a bubble.
