I think on one side you have american propaganda that has led many countries in disfavor of us due to nationalistic interests. But i mean duhhh, of course a country is going to do what's in their best interest, even if it means altering/filtering the perception of its citizens to keep us on the same page. (see russia/china) There are compromises in life that lead countries to do evil things for "their idea of a greater good." Whether that's right or wrong is another discussion this is just the reality. Nobody believes they're inherently evil.
On the other hand you have foreign propaganda meant to divide america and make us fight amongst each other. They cannot suppress the US economically/physically so much so this is the only fighting tactic they have.
What worries me isn't the propaganda so much but the growing perception in the US that we cannot have different viewpoints on things and that if you support Donald Trump or Obama then remove me from your FB friendslist and don't ever talk to me. A realist would see we need a spectrum of differing opinions so when we come together and compromise we get the best of both worlds.
Now we're at a point where the filtering, censoring, propaganda, and manipulation is getting to be too much for the average person to filter out. AI will make this exponentially harder for the average person to filter the bullshit.
Great post, followed, upvoted, and resteemed.
