Seems Sus: Selective Outrage

MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE TO THE SEEMS SUS PODCAST BELOW OR WHEREVER YOU LISTEN TO PODCASTS! https://www.spreaker.com/show/6861857/episodes/feed In this episode of Seems Sus, Brandon and Ed tackle selective outrage, political tribalism, manufactured narratives, and the growing emotional fallout of the last decade. From social media misinformation and viral panic to post pandemic anger and identity driven conflict, the conversation explores why society feels more divided, hostile, and confused than ever. We question why people blindly defend systems they distrust, why outrage shifts depending on who is in power, and how fear based narratives keep repeating with new faces and new excuses. Outrage has become the default state of modern society. In this episode of Seems Sus, Brandon and Ed examine how selective outrage, misinformation, and political obsession fuel constant conflict while nothing ever truly changes. The discussion covers social media manipulation, fake headlines, AI misinformation, and how easily false claims spread when they align with existing beliefs. From exaggerated crisis narratives to outright fabricated stories, the episode highlights how little verification happens before people react emotionally. The conversation also dives into the long term psychological effects of isolation, pandemic era fear, and loss of trust in institutions. Brandon and Ed talk about compliance, resistance, shifting narratives, and why people who once demanded obedience now condemn it. Topics expand into political hypocrisy, voting disillusionment, government power, education and indoctrination, taxation, surveillance, and the realization that public outrage rarely leads to meaningful change.
