What kind of Super-Special media do they have access to that the rest of don't? Besides, that's kind of the point. They aren't taking part in normal society, they are living in an alternate reality dictated by the Conservative Propaganda Machine, where the most corrupt treasonous people on our nation's history dare to clutch their pearls and point fingers at others who are completely innocent. Most of us choose to live in the real world, and make personal, career, and political decisions based on objective truth, not based on our petty bigotry, jealousy, and greed.

And not once did I say I was a good person. Nobody knows my sins more than me.

What I said was that there are jobs that are too immortal, unethical, or just plain EVIL that I would never do. That doesn't mean I'm a good person, it just means that I actively, deliberately, enthusiastically choose to NOT be EVIL.

However, all that said, I AM a Good Person, a decent, empathetic, moral, ethical, friendly, caring person. EVERYBODY should be. It should be the default way to live your life, and is, in fact, what the Founding Fathers talked about in the Declaration of Independence when they wrote about "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness."

Nobody was more Woke than the Founding Fathers.

They have the same social media but different algorithms.

A fantastic example is with charlie kirk. Many on the right saw positive, hopeful, respectful messaging from him, often in a religious setting. Those on the left saw vulgar, argumentative, and disrespectful messaging from him.

So after his death, we have a huge gap between how each half of the country viewed him, because they saw different things on social media. The same happens with Trump to a degree.

So they dont literally have a different social media, but they dont see the same things you do. Even with these ICE raids, they are seeing clips of citizens harming officers or putting them in danger, rather than them peacefully protesting. You can find clips on both sides from Portland, as another example. One side sees peace, the other sees chaos.

You blame the algorithm, I blame their lack of Critical Thinking Skills.

Algorithms develop from your engagement history, so if it's feeding you bullshit, it's because you are accepting of bullshit. People should grow up, stop being intellectually lazy, and challenge their sources.

And people like you should stop giving them a pass for their Treason, corruption, racism, pedophilia, etc. They are evil criminals, and have not earned, nor deserve, understanding, empathy, or mercy from any decent, moral citizen. Stop defending evil.
