This is a long video, but a good one. Definitely worth listening to in the background.

It explains a bit about how right wing media got to be how it is, as well as a story about bringing people back from right wing extremism.

    I feel like this is exhibit #1 for a lot of people who are interested in this trend. It certainly happened to me with my dad. I am thinking that we can get like a curated list of sources like this if the community gets big enough.

      I remember when YouTube was relatively new, there were a lot of fox news videos. But all the videos of fox news or rush Limbaugh was, compilations of how retatded they were. Now some how, they are seen as a real news media. 🤮

      The people who liked fox/Limbaugh type of media were rideculed, so they wouldn’t come out of the woodwork. Now they’re everywhere, they have managed to radicalize the whole world.
