    News gotta go fast, 24 hour news cycle and still not enough time for all of it. Fact checking? That’s for losers, and if you’re not first you’re a loser.

        It’s unfortunate how successful this propaganda is, but it makes sense.

        It’s well produced content with a catchy song. It’s normalizing hate through meme culture and radicalising impressionable people.

        Similarly, I believe this documentary talked about qanon and right wing hate groups using similar tactics on facebook, instagram and other “normie” social media, not just the 4chan incel cave, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feels_Good_Man

      Take my angry upvote; it’s true; getting there first matters more than getting it right for those views. They maybe go back and edit later.
