    You can’t even whisper criticism of capitalism / the free market or you will be labeled a filthy commie.

    Try saying that the Western world has set humanity on a path towards extinction by industrializing without a meaningful thought towards sustainability and youll get a response of BUT CHINA CHINA CHINA CHINA (maybe a little India) BUT CHINA by people who are considered well educated and well regarded there. Its that NYT, Washington Post aka American mainstream media brainrot. It’s quite rampant.

      Also religion and guns. I’ve been publicly mocked for it and someone I knew IRL went off on me on social media. So bizarre this land of the free.
