In my opinion, the reason for having to seek out obscure websites to hear strong anti-war voices is because us as a society are pro-war. Economically, the production of military machinery such as weapons and high performance vehicles (Tanks, Ships, and Aircrafts) makes us money. The United States sells machinery to allied countries, so war is profitable for us.
Due to this, many large corporations with control maintain websites that are displayed on the internet, such as Google or Bing putting certain websites at the bottom of a search engine, meaning that websites will be viewed and visited far less. The reason for having to dig deep into the internet to find these voices has to do with political bias. If one idea is believed more by the public, ideals that are deemed “illogical” are silenced and hidden away to ensure that there is no rioting and protests.
This can also be seen throughout the political season. Large search engines are known to be biased towards one party or another and will push some news articles and information towards the bottom of the page to ensure less of the public have access to that information. I personally have never heard or seen any of these websites and that is mostly due to the media silencing the unpopular beliefs to reduce “manic”, which I believe to be unfair. I believe that all information should be equally distributed so that American citizens can develop and create their own opinions and ideas based on the information they find, whether it is true or not.
