Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

this US citizen is very much anti US and more pro China than pro US.

Notable that the highest favorably is where the countries invest in soft power. When DOGE gutted the USAID, many of those developing countries noticed (although some of these countries always hated the US, lol)

Weirdly enough, watched a video on USA soft power recently. It's a good watch if you have the time.

that's fucked up considering China still has millions of Uyghurs in what's generously considered ghettos.

Fake and dumb, literally just visit Xinjiang yourself and find out, or check the countless videos from other people who have already beaten you to it

They just keep stricter control over their media outlets so that you need to actually do some research to find something. And so most people don't.

What myopic bullshit. China has been and still is a deep supporter of Russia's war.

Sure, USA under Trump was majorly fucked up even in the first term, and now it's even worse. And while Trump is still licking Putin's boots, they are not actively supporting Russia.

Honourable mentions for France, Germany, Netherlands and... Fuck-all-youse-cunts-get-a-dog-up-ya-Australia 🇭🇲

Right? I'm presently surprised, I thought we were all boot licking sycophants. Is this what national pride feels like?

This has been happening every 4 years for the past 30 years. It will change once again once Trump is replaced by a Dem.

This also goes for Russia, Israel, China, or whatever other country. People put too much stock on perception trends, when in reality it means very little. Things like this change at the drop of a hat.
