American politics now operate like memecoins confusing, full of noise, and driven by blind acceptance rather than real understanding. Instead of questioning narratives, people rally behind whatever gets the most engagement, as if truth is decided by likes and reposts. Musk isn’t uncovering facts; he’s repackaging them in a way that makes people feel like they’re part of some grand awakening. And that’s the real danger when misinformation is dressed up as ‘free speech’ and people stop fact-checking because they trust the person delivering the message, not the message itself. It’s fascinating (and terrifying) to see how far technology has come. Not because it’s making people smarter, but because it’s making manipulation easier. And we aren’t even at the height of artificial intelligence yet. Imagine what happens when AI can generate ‘truth’ faster than anyone can verify it.

At what point do people stop thinking for themselves? At what point does reality become whatever gets the most engagement? Because if we don’t start asking these questions now, we might wake up one day in a world where truth isn’t lost—it’s just been outperformed by better marketing.

I mostly agree but to some extent this has been happening more and more for the last 45 years.

At least now people have the ability to utilise multiple sources to verify and there are thing like community notes. For so many years we grew up with 4 TV channels and didn’t have much choice but to believe what those channels and the newspapers told us.
