    Funny, the same thing happened when I realized that I’m Trans. It’s almost as if capitalist ran media is incentivised to lie and decive in ways that cause permanent damage.

      If that explained it, all capitalist run media would be lying. But they are clearly not all lying.

      It’s more about who’s running it what their goals are. Communist media is famous for being filled with propaganda and lies, after all.

        Capitalist propaganda is so good you don’t even realize it’s almost all lies.

        Yeah the media is incentivized to maintain the status quo, they’d rather tell the truth, but they’ll lie to themselves and you rather than make the both of you think.
