    Totally anecdotal, but I teach at an international school and I have many Chinese students who have talked about this with me. They say this attitude is present throughout advertising as well. They very frequently mention this ad

      Maybe a big asteroid will hit the planet soon and we can all just call it a wrap. Almost feels like it would be a small comfort to go out in the style of a 90’s action thriller apocalypse. Apologies for being doomy, but Christ, everyone everywhere just fucking sucks. Thanks for sharing this, I’m not sure I would have let myself believe it existed otherwise.

      • I’m kind of sad this got 6 upvotes. You’re right, lots of people do suck, but there are also a lot of people in the world trying to do good (some right here on Beehaw even). They just don’t get the attention they deserve because doomscrolling and negative news gets more clicks and interactions.

        Also an asteroid would also wipe off a lot of other non-human species on the planet, and honestly they don’t deserve that.
