yiliu ,

I’m just reading between the lines. I did skim a bit, but I didn’t miss much.

The culture war is a psyop? By who? Are Biden and Trump in cahoots? Is Trump much, much, much smarter than he seems? Or are they both puppets? And if so, of whom? Don’t tell me it’s a big conspiracy of ((International financiers)) or something…

The culture war is just tribalism and populism in a new medium. It’s not a fucking conspiracy by a shadowy elite, it’s mobs getting worked up and then politicians pandering.

Again, the implicit suggestion is: the reason people don’t agree with the author about shit is because they’re being tricked. I agree it’s frustrating that polarization has made American politics stupid as shit, but it doesn’t take a corporate conspiracy to make people behave stupidly: it comes to us very naturally.
