The internet is just as regulated as television. Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Reddit, it's all controlled and manipulated. Disney buys out popular Youtubers with Maker studios and other groups then gets them to review and promote their Hollywood movies to young kids who watch their videos, and all other kinds of shit like that happens all across the web. Bots are used to make certain things appear more popular than they actually are, and things they don't want you to see are banned and relegated to obscure forums like the one we're on now. There really aren't that many different sources of information, you have a million different sources repeating maybe three different points of view, but things keep moving in the same direction anyways.Perhaps. But don't you think the power of government or media propaganda has been severely diluted by the Internet? So many young people now grow up without even having cable TV. They get their news from the Internet where there are millions of sites providing just as many different views.
I think it's very hard for any entity to push any single ideology anymore unless it's the one people want to buy into. Because you can find any outlet to provide a point of view you agree with.
Want a reason to hate minorities? There are loads of websites to provide skewed "news" to provide that. Want a reason to hate whites? Again, loads of sites to provide "news" to support that.
If I had to speculate, I would guess that the infinite amount of options is allowing people to degenerate more to whatever perspective they believe best suits them or their evolutionary insticts drive them to.
ie. Women profit from feminism and hypergamy so they default into "incels are evil" on HuffPo.
ie. Incels are damaged by feminism and hypergamy so we default into "feminism is evil".
ie. Many white people feel damaged by immigration so they default into "build the wall".
I think people are just feeding whatever natural selfish instincts they have now based on their own perspective, and finding sites and sources that back them on that. While I think it was probably once true that the media or state could speak with one voice and everyone had to listen, I don't think that's likely true anymore.
The fact that people believe themselves to be more free now, makes them even more susceptible to the programming. People are dumb enough to think that they're making an actual choice when they watch a video on the YouTube trending page.
