Your average treatler in the imperial core is so much more likely to consume news that promises them the wildfires are caused by jewish space lasers than a ho-hum we're killing the planet with shit like fossil fuels.
It's like the Marvel effect, wherein all movies follow the super-hero formula now. Instead of films that get by on things like dialogue or story telling, it's how bombastic the special effects are and if it fits into a larger "universe".
Well chuds feel apart of something larger when they consume Fox News, with it's bombastic production and movie star looking anchors. They're "enlightened" and know "the truth" about the world the dumb libs don't know. Even if said truth is just the same old antisemitic conspiracies the fascists from the 40's were peddling just with a 21st century new coat of paint.
I need to stop watching CNN it's bad for my mental health btw.
I actually think material reality can be just as compelling as the fake conspiracy theories, but lib media doesnt really do material analysis. Instead they try to soften the truth and hide certain facts so that in the end there is no satisfying solution. E.g. they won't come out and say we need to regulate these companies that create 80% of our fossil fuel emissions, instead we need to all individually do better and buy less treats
Hell I feel apart something bigger by being a leftist
