    so that americans and other westerners cant brainwash people into overthrowing the government. honestly good for them. the internet has a lot of good sides but its also horrible and exposes us to some shit we are just not evolutionarily prepared for. i’m imagining that their internet is just like ours but no racism, child porn or even distressing style memes because those also damage you psychologically. i’m still uncomfortable when watching spongebob because in 2023 it was a trend to use spongebob scenes for those distressing memes about serial killers, kidnapping, etc. i still remember comforting my friend in 2022 bc she saw a video of a man begging for his life but then being shot to death, i also heard an audio of Mason Greenwood doing the unspeakable to his girlfriend, just some bullshit that nobody should ever be exposed to

      yeah… i think ultimately a traumatized society is much easier to control and bend to the will of capitalism as well…
