It’s an open secret the fedi is swimming in it, especially the ml instances but there are several categories of varying severity used by people of all political persuasions:

• Simple political ads
• “Memes” designed to skew one’s perception of the world
• Misleading headlines or posting articles from unreliable or uncorroborated sources
• “Bumper sticker” logic
• What aboutisms
• Calls for politically motivated violence

I won’t give specific examples because (even when I agree with their end goals) people get defensive but if you look, you’ll find them

Nothing has made me more right wing than left wing propaganda and vica versa

Of course “left/right wing” is a ridiculously over simplified perspective in the first place but if nuance is a political stance, I suppose I’m heavily outnumbered
