Politically to. I live in a US state. How are the Chinese going to use my transfem tiktoks against me. Are they going to sell me more estrogen? Hell yes if so lol.

Russia did little interference in the election. A study:

Recent government study:

Trump also lost the popular vote anyway, it was the bullshit electoral system that allowed him to slither in. Although I'm not too surprised someone interfered with our elections, we do it to everyone else. Its common knowledge we interfered in the 1991 russian elections and directly manipulated and gave a fake result for their elections in 1993. We were able to directly change and influence their major political powers with their foreign interference, Russia has only managed to make bots annoying people on twitter.

and honestly why would china interfere in our elections, they can literally sit back and watch us fall apart. It is a pure fact that they are economically doing very well, and that we are in decline. Both our parties are anti-china, so who would they fudge in favor of? Stage a CPUSA coup?

Honestly I get how I might be coming off that way, but Im trying to be as neutral as possible. I have not said anything supporting russia or china in these posts, im just trying to introduce the point that the US social media spy apparatus is far more worrying than the Chinese one. I get it for like higher up people, but they have protections the common person does not. Monitoring us losers does nothing for them, just a lot of useless effort they don't have to do. We are already buying everything from them, they don't need to do anything for us to keep doing that.

I guess Im coming off as defending china, but I haven't even done that in this post. I've just said they are far less influential than my own government. The US is still the global hegemon, they didn't get there by being nice to people, they're not staying there because they're nice to people, and they will continue to stay there because they are willing to do whatever it takes to stay on top. The global hegemon, especially the USA's, is far more directly powerful in my own life than the other guys ever will.
