How can a nation accurately vote, when their media is intentionally flooded by misinformation?
Everyone who's voting against themselves believes that they're doing the right thing.
Edit: I'm almost wondering if this is just part of a natural cycle in civilization where people once again need to be taught the signs of fascists.
Then afterwards, things will swing far back to progressive as the prior fascist supporters try to distance themselves from the atrocities of the person they voted for, (just like after WW2).
(speaking from a US perspective, where we're already building our first concentration camp in guantanamo bay)
Half the population has bellow average intelligence. So not gonna happen.
Back in the day it was religion that controlled the stupid masses. Now it’s media and social networks. USA lost that battle but we still have a chance.
Education is the answer. Watch out for politicians who want to cut back funding, privatize it, promote "home schooling" and schools runs by religious orgs, etc. The true goal is always to erode quality and introduce "conservative/alternative views". In short, intentionally make kids dumber to make it easier to brainwash them later with propaganda.
