Almost all the Lemmy instances consist of imperial core labor aristocrats. They're Western chauvanists. Many of them are tech bros. Many lack class consciousness. They have poor media literacy skills while believing they have excellent skills. They consume their governments' and corporate media's propaganda uncritically, unaware that they’re being propagandized. Many of them are as rabidly anticommunist now as people were during the first Cold War.
They'll regurgitate:
The Han Chinese one is something I wasn't even aware of but have had people mention to me previously. Where does that come from, exactly? Also, the "social credit score" one tickles a still, I know it's likely nothing like how it was described to me in the past, but I don't even know what the reality behind that one is.
