3 months agoI haven’t had any luck with it yet, I’ve followed a number of trans people because that’s usually how I get into a new network and so far they’ve all been swapping terrible lib takes, blaming minorities for not voting for kamala and the like. Not sure there’s much of a leftist contingent on there.
The consent machine is pulling triple shifts to convince people this is dangerous, and some people even on this site have so thoroughly doomer-pilled themselves that they can’t see the positives. I’ve been on there a lot this week and there is a real cultural exchange taking place, a lot of people asking questions about what it’s really like to live in each country. Just in my little slice I’ve seen dozens of comments from USians expressing that they are surprised to learn the reality of life in China and that they feel they have been deliberately mislead.
