“it’s okay when we do it” —the US on literally everything it criticizes in other nations

there’s genuinely been some class consciousness getting into play

i saw some users from both countries compare prices of eggs and vegetables, and they even did the necessary math of accounting for average wage and cost of living. the chinese users are not allowed to talk about their politics (sadly; this is a bad thing) but they are allowed to talk about foreign politics and they are probably bigger fans of Luigi Mangione even than i have seen in English speaking social media. there are candid discussions of queerphobia as well in its different social (and for the US, political too) manifestations between countries.

people would rather have their personal data stolen by the chinese government than the US who poses much more of an immediate threat.

detractors describe this as astroturfing but that’s BS. congress brought this on themselves by making such a clearly self-serving gesture.

excellent to know so we are going to make and enforce privacy regulations so this pattern doesn’t keep repeating itself

… right?

more than half of visitors leave a page if they’re forced to wait longer than 3 seconds

and it’s not outlandish to suggest that length decreases every year.

A theory I have is that cancel culture as we will eventually know it will be considered to have simply had a rocky start. Instances where social cancellation is greatly overapplied or underapplied to an unjust degree continue to happen, but to a lesser degree each year it seems.

The social media revolution was a huge shock to popular culture and the social patterns that communicate it. It makes sense that it would take time for society to level out its reactions in response.
