So you think people just happened to decide on a narrow range of positions that are highly convenient to the ruling powers in society?

Other way around. Ruling powers have established themselves around the narrow range of positions that people take. It's why you see the same rot in every society, not just modern or Western or capitalist ones.

Modern propagandists have realized it doesn’t matter if the truth is out there—you just need to make your narrative the loudest, most available, algorithmically boosted option and most people won’t put in the effort to question what you put in front of them.

Sounds a lot less like a monopoly and a lot more like people choosing to be lazy and uninformed.
