    1. It’s always absurd to watch America cry about how the massive global panopticon they built is allowing others to see bad things about America.

    2. If you didn’t want ordinary people posting reality on their timelines then perhaps you shouldn’t have cultivated a system where smartphones are cheap but the cost of living keeps most people in or just above poverty.

    3. It obviously doesn’t take shadowy state intervention for people to look at how much American content is about being broke or struggling, see point 2.

    4. Even if it was state-led strategy to highlight worsening material conditions in the US (it’s not) at least it’s actually factual, unlike the US’ standard procedure of just making shit up about China entirely.

      If the things in this article was even a fraction as bad as the propaganda they’ve other countries to be they’d declare war. The amount of dehumanizing shit we’ve put up with from American media and now they’re crying about this tame stuff…
