• My knee jerk reactions would be

    1. Confirmation bias, people seek out things that confirm what they want to believe regardless of 'truth'.
    2. Consuming media with critical thinking is a dying skill for various reasons.
    3. The 3rd order of simulacra is fully here and the lines between reality and the constructed representation of it are basically gone so it's very easy to intentionally or unintentionally subjectively construct one's own reality
  • Not to mention the masses are effectively livestock, domesticated by the ruling class. All kinds of cognitive biases are systematically reinforced; the capture of government in Australia by the gambling industry among others, is a stark example.
