This page is not here to tell you what side to pick. It is here to show you how a broken system rewires your brain, your media diet, and your sense of who the enemy is.
Our mission is simple: to unpolarize the world—not by changing what you fight for, but by helping you understand what you are fighting for.
Rational Truth exists because politics started to plague our culture and integrating istelf into our identity. When party becomes who you are, disagreement feels like a personal attack.
We collect evidence across many current issues like: immigration, Gaza, gender, sex education, and many more. We do this to show how the same mechanisms create: identity fusion, institutional failure, media business models, and echo chambers.
Research on polarization shows a repeating loop where Congress avoids hard votes, media chases outrage, people fuse identity to party, moral grandstanding replaces problem‑solving, and echo chambers turn every disagreement into existential threat. We are currently living in a society where your emotions are being farmed, your thoghts are trademarked, and your identity is sold.
Once that loop is running, facts from the “wrong” outlet become hate speech. It makes you feel as though changing your mind is betrayal of your people.
ICE now runs on a 1990s legislation that was built for about 500,000 cases a year. This same agency is now trying to manage more than a million, which leaves roughly four million people stuck in years‑long limbo. Source
Between 2017 and 2021, an investigation into ~49 deaths in ICE custody found that about 95 percent could likely have been prevented with basic medical care, even though these are administrative detainees, not convicted criminals. Source
In Gaza, estimates since 2023 suggest tens of thousands killed and more than four in five deaths are civilians, with hospitals, water systems, and most housing damaged or destroyed.
International law allows self‑defense, but it also requires precautions to spare civilians. Israel is not doing its proper duties to minimize civilian death over combatant death.
Cable news and social platforms don’t exist to tell you the truth; they exist to keep you watching, fearful, and angry. Studies of cable coverage show that “culture war” segments on gender, race, and identity pull in viewers who would otherwise be watching entertainment. This gives the media an incentive to lean into outrage because it is more profitable. Source Source
Social media algorithms do the same thing at scale. Posts that use moral‑outrage language (evil, traitor, disgusting) get 20$-24% more engagement. So your feed optimizes itself for whatever keeps you angry. Source

You can stay conservative, progressive, libertarian, socialist—whatever. The point of Rational Truth is to help you fight like a citizen.
That means doubting your own side on purpose, punishing rule‑breaking even when your favorite politicians do it, and refusing to share content whose only job is to humiliate people you already dislike.
