The current study investigates the structural dynamics of online discourse by looking at extensive Twitter (X) data from international discussions on the Russo-Ukrainian War, COVID-19, and climate change. The results show that engagement and polarization across issues are driven by ideological alignment rather than actor prominence, underscoring the crucial role that shared narratives and selective exposure play in influencing public discourse.
