Ok, we are legit witnessing the greatest geopolitical Streisand effect of my lifetime.
I'm seeing dozens of posts on X with massive engagement (10s of thousands of likes and millions of views) praising China and lambasting U.S. anti-China propaganda. I assume this is the same on other social media platforms. It's likely the greatest soft power win China has ever scored by a huge margin.
And the funniest thing is China literally did nothing for it: it's entirely organic or, more accurately, triggered by the US government.
Will it be sustained? Are we witnessing a turning point where Americans will durably refuse to get brainwashed and gaslighted about China? Let's see... But one thing is sure, especially when you couple this with the vibe shift of younger Americans around Israel, we're entering a new age where U.S. propaganda - once so good that most people didn't even realize its existence - is increasingly ineffective.

Getting questions about LA -- the air looks really clean right now. That is because the PM levels (which scatter light) are very low (the air is being pushed out to sea). However, air toxins are still present from the burning of structures and synthetic materials. More...(1/2)
