i hope a certified psychologist appers in here to explain better, my reading in the subject is quite low ans i don’t know how to walk the line to criticize modern midia without looking like reactionary talk.
I am not a psychologist, but Reactionaries only attack the technology itself and falsely claim that the progress of technology by itself is the problem, failing to (or even refusing to) realize Capitalism is to blame for the problems associated with technology. The real problem is how Capitalism affects the current technology; Capitalists seek profit over everything else, so they will use technology to do exactly that.
Technology has so much potential to bring a better future, but it is held back and used inappropriately under Capitalism.
A conservative talking point that takes anti-Capitalist sentiment and twists it into Reactionary crap. (i.e., “The Wealthy Elites do stuff at the expense of everyone else worldwide” turns into “DURRR THE WOKE GLOBALISTS WANT TO ERASE STRAIGHT WHITE PEOPLE REEEE”)
My guess is that it diverts attention away from the Bourgeoisie and instead turns it into Chauvinism (which the Bourgeoisie can more easily handle)
Also the “Globalist” rhetoric reactionaries like to use is loaded with antisemitic dogwhistles iirc
