Well, I dont like the machine talk either. But, imagine you have learned something about this world. Say for example, how relationships between 1st world countries and 3rd world countries usually go. You might come to realise that contracts between those countries are usually heavily in favor of the 1st world countries.
This may look like this:
We give 100 Million as foreign aid. You need to invest this money in our companies. Your companies will need to buy the stuff we produce from our companies at our prices. Yada yada.
It is pretty clear that 3rd world countries still get ****ed in the ass by 1st world countries. The issue is, the news dont sell it like that, theyll usually celebrate themselves for being awesomely nice and good guys.
Once you noticed such a "little" missrepresantation, it becomes hard to believe other things. It also becomes hard to comprehend that so many people just believe the stuff they hear. And it becomes extremly hard when you try to point these things out but instead of opening eyes, they make you out to be the stupid guy because you argue against their common narrative. But even if you try to explain something like cognitive dissonance...
