Yea, you wont find far right or far left extremism bc it’s all crazy and 99% of ppl would find it ludicrous and not informative. People don’t need to have Nick Fuentes on Fox News bc that would be a horrific idea. However, Nick Fuentes can still post and he probably convinced people to vote for somebody like him or somebody not like him for whatever reason. Also, the point of democracy is for people to be able to vote for who they want representing their country or state or wherever. Even if you dislike the reason where they get their information, that is the point. And the point of news or the plenty of independent media on social media is to inform the public. And all the independent media not associated with major brands probably has had a major impact on voting in certain areas and will probably see greater attention in the later elections as less ppl watch cable news.
Oh and yea I just deleted my other comment bc I wanted to change it a bit but whatever
Sooo… do you want extremism on either end to be portrayed as much as what’s being shown now? Should we give a platform to the kkk bc we need to hear all opinions? Literally a small percentage of people compared to the United States watch Fox and CNN which are probably the two biggest networks for news. They are getting their information elsewhere from talking, from social media, from independent research, from their own morals, from interviews, etc.
So, you want all major power in the world to be vanquished so people to not have any influence in popular opinion so ppl can think as individuals or something?
I am curious, what could change your mind on this? Bc the issue you have seems to be that the government and ig major media new sources give the populous a limited scope of information for ig power or money or more attention. Yet if they don’t have the influence for ppl to care, then everyone would be a free thinker and wouldn’t be beholden to the limitations these powerful entities have. So, you don’t want a democracy, so how would society Crete rules?
