Uh, Christmas is not American, and the concept of Santa is originally Scandinavian. KFC is a corporation and its Japanese branch is Japanese. China has way more cultural influence on Japan than the US to the point where they aren't comparable.

Some companies like Microsoft have started buying old closed down nuclear power plants like Three Mile Island in order to use them to power their AI, so hopefully it can offset a large portion of the energy demand.

Pretty much what AI already was doing on the internet.

Chinese culture was, just like US culture, normalized until they started claiming land and ocean, and committing genocide. Now both cultures are frowned upon.

Is KFC for Christmas even a thing in the US? As far as I know that's a unique thing in Japan and the result of a marketing campaing, not cultural exchange, and the rest of the world was just as much affected by the coca cola campaign that made santa's clothes go from green or brown to red.

And it makes sense. Japan doesn't even really celebrate Christmas and it is still today vastly overshadowed by the japaneae new year celebration following it.

I live in Japan and don't see much resemblance to the US anywhere. Maybe that they are the only other country than the US where people care about baseball, and that people like Disney. Japan is very conservative in its own culture.

Where did I lie? Where is my propaganda? You're labelling me as such without any evidence. That's an attack on me, not my argument. It is utterly pathetic behavior from someone who moderates communities. We're done here.

You're falsely assuming it, and using it as justification.

I did read it. It is one of those articles with a clear political bias, trying to spin the story as if all of it is false because one thing was false. Anyone eating it up is doing so because they either can't think for themselves or don't want to.

Are you done following me around in this thread?

It is a legitimate question you're trying to label a conspiracy theory as if it was so extremely unlikely that the stack of paper trump held was nothing but all made up.

Labelling anything as "JAQ" is literally a supression tactic used by extremists and astroturfing corporations, by the way.

Imagine a place on the internet where at least one person asks "wait, what about this then?" and not being told "shut up. Don't ask questions, just consume the media the way we want you to."
