I think love island answered the question of how seemingly innocent people can commit acts of violence like German citizens in ww2 or slave owners in the US : appeal to emotion, brainwash, create narrative.

I’m speaking generally about the islanders in the villa, producers show you what they want. They capitalize on public perceptions and exploit the islanders to perpetuate those narratives. A very minor example is the nic and elan beef. They squashed their beef but producers didn’t show the resolution, etc etc

ok yes i totally agree. there are so many narratives that people fall into. noone knows just how common smear and redirection campaigns are. sooo many brands/influencers have run these campaigns that often involve bots posing as u and i, and starting narratives (that benefit the client) and most people fall for it. can u think of any examples?
