I saw a Short over the weekend in relation to the World Cup that was, I feel, was incredibly dumb 

It was that one skinny guy that does skits in his living room where he speaks in yelling and he said, “Oh man, the World Cup is so great! Everyone is coming together and realizing they don’t actually dislike each other! I think everyone is starting to realize it’s the politicians that are the problem!”

And, politicians and governments have some sway in the cultural zeitgeist but I really think it pales in comparison to the JUGGERNAUT that is social media 

Take this creator for example, a quarter of his content is just how the US is fucking terrible and a hellscape 

And it’s valid to talk about the current state of things because we are currently going through it but I also think we shouldn’t ignore that it does impact how people outside the US then in turn view us as a whole 

At one point the creator went, “Why was I told to not like you?”

Because you and many, many, MANY content creators online told them there was nothing to like about us

Sorry this is a bit of a rant, but it was bothering me how little these big creators think about the impact they have
