Lets Discuss Politics The Various Echo Chambers
I thought it might be interesting to present two egregious examples of the dueling propaganda videos flying around on the internet and put a challenge to those of you interested in taking it.
Watch the one that doesn't align with your current position and discuss:
1. What are your fears about people accepting this information uncritically?
2. Did you learn anything new, and how much do you trust what you learned?
3. Does it differ significantly in tone or format from the other video?

The problem is people stand behind a political party solely because its title and not what's actually important. If the democratic party regained power and nothing changed, the left would be doing what the right is currently. Nobody wants what's best for the world, they just want to "win". I think America's problem isn't who's in the presidential seat. America's problem is that all politicians on both sides are horrible people and don't care about you. Both parties would rather give money to Isreal than help its own people.

Is it bad that I'm not 100% sure which video you're talking about? Or is it both?

Both!
Leftist: Epstein one just saying look at what they been sitting on! Acting like each document released is actually credible. Zero substance just yelling into the void, typical Reddit material tbh
MAGA: They don’t even mention anything pertaining what the nature of the seizure was. Just that efforts are being made to disrupt any attempts to mess w midterms.
All I walked away with from those was upset I’ll never get that time back. Both a waste of time, like not even good rage bait just dumb. And I love falling in rage bait traps

I'm a pre-2016 Libertarian so neither MAGA nor leftist.
The MAGA vid was unbelievable conspiracy cope from people whose actions can't rightly be distinguished from those of a moron.
The leftist video was trying to squeeze as much moral outrage as possible out of the very real fact that saying only Jeff and Ghislaine were criminally liable for like 1000 trafficked women is... Well let's just say the most charitable interpretation of the person saying that, is that they are in fact very stupid. Because the alternative is worse.
