You must be young if you just started to notice this. Well, welcome to the club. It's all downhill from here. The best you can do now if apply your awakening to your own principles and catch yourself if you ever feel you're falling for the same trap, because no one is immune to complacency. Also, stay the fuck away from social media. That's specifically what draws people in. The endless feed and shorts... It's like a bottomless bag of potato chips that saps you of original thought. Just video after video of some asshole's take on a political event, rather than actually looking into what actually happened yourself.
