Yeah I agree about an average American being pretty naive to things. It's not even just naive, it's actively mis/dis-informed too

this is a war on information

I think most people understand that by this point. It's been a war on information since the internet was created, even 80 years ago people like Goebbels understood the value of constricting information flow.

I got banned multiple times from calling something on a conservative subreddit hate speech, because it was very blatantly hate speech. Go figure...

The reality is that these people were/are unhappy in their lives due to stagnation in their finances/jobs, poor healthcare, and they don't have a tight local community. Then these dumb, angry people are primed to accept someone who says they'll fix their lives, and knows how to talk right to them. Everything else is just toppings, but that's really the meat of it.

ahhh that's what happened to me then. I just randomly got banned one day and I think it was reporting a conservative post for hate or something

Try explaining that term to someone in 1925. I'm proud of how far we've come.

Welcome. I joined from reddit in 2025, and happy to see more come over since Reddit has become a corporate, bot-filled, propaganda arm for many different groups
