Today's reference article is quite different from the material we usually share. This written by Janus Rose, a 404Media reporter, is intended as a profound reflection on the current state of affairs, the contemporary political situation in the United States and, consequently, the online landscape in this regard.

Following Donald Trump's recent return to the U.S. president's seat, several unpleasant events have captured media attention, including Elon Musk's repeated fascist salutes and the brazen assignment of responsibility for the Los Angeles fires to DEI, organizational structures dedicated to promoting diversity, equity and inclusion on American soil.

Consequentially, citizens of the Internet world took the opportunity to share their outrage (or misplaced support) to their online audiences, convinced that their words could make a difference within this tacit war. What the collective consciousness lacks, however, is recognition of the hidden political strategies behind certain media decisions. One post will not change the course of history.
