Interesting article but ive read quite a bit of these articles and listened to lectures about social media and misinformation. Though they get most of it right that its political or corporations jockeying us to hate one another they miss something i think is extremely important life kind sucks for alot of Americans and worst of all to enough of them it is due to their own fault. So they look to conspiracy theories to justify why their lives suck. They blame anyone who fits the bill whether it be polticians, the state and neighbors.

Then worst of all is that we do have a state that is fucking them over justifying their conspiracy even further. So yeah i can see why people that are down on their luck want to cling onto something even if its wrong.
