A Chinese video platform recommended me a 40-minute video talking about the movie "Jojo Rabbit".
I think the video is doing pretty good, it successfully recommended the movie to me, and it's a good movie.
But when I scroll down to read the comments, I feel very, very, very uncomfortable about the nationalist and patriotic sentiments. It's too complicated to explain what I saw in the comment area, in English, to non-Chinese speaking people. But I do want to mention a common technique that my government uses to distract people from internet issues: encouraging hate. Instead of talking about science, they silently encouraged hate when Japan decided to release nuclear waste water into the sea. And for Palestine-Isreal conflict, they basically did the same.
Just thinking about it, I'm actually feeling scared for a little while. But I can't. Fear can only distract me.
Oh shit it's 2am. I should sleep
