Media influence and media alt reality is the biggest issue facing humanity right now. The ability to manipulate and influence people without their even being that aware of its effects is causing constant social disruption.

Look at the posts here where people are either breaking down because media world told them Trump would kill them or they are people acting like they "won" and are exuberant beyond reason as if something is going to change in the political/economic system.

This is due to media and tech speaking to people in primarily parasocial and other emotionally manipulative methods, which causes the general public will subscribe to whatever they tell them too.

Remember the coof times when 90% of the world lost their minds without really any reality around then to reflect what was being shown in media.
