I feel like politics have changed a lot, especially in recent years, mostly because of how much information there is. Like, for example, I don't have social media on my phone anymore, but I did maybe call it 6 months ago. Yeah. And I saw the exact same video posted twice on Twitter, on X. Yeah. And it was a video of Israeli soldiers and Palestinian civilians and they got into a conflict. Yeah. And one post said Israeli soldiers dropped off food and then they got attacked. Right. And the other post said Israeli soldiers lured in civilians and attack them. Right. And it was the exact same video. Yeah, that's fascinating. And the algorithms are very good at serving you exactly what you already believe because it keeps you on the platform for more. Yeah.
