Since when are plant-based diets and CBDCs mainstream? Less than ~10 people in my entire social circle have adopted the former, and afaik zero have ever touched the latter.

How are Tesla or being fit counterculture? Tesla vehicles are known and desired universally and I see more and more every day on the street, and most of the people I know either are fit or are clearly trying to be fit.

I said ”mainstream **media**”.

- plant-based diet is promoted on mainstream media absolutely every day, while eating meat is demonized.

- CBCDs are promoted by mainstream media almost as often, while crypto is demonized.

- ESG is also promoted by mainstream media, that happens to give nonsensical very low rates to Tesla.

- plus size is definitely promoted by mainstream media too; while heathy lifestyles not so much (but this is more a phenomenon of the anglosphere).

@tripu
Wait, no. Actually I didn't say ”media”, but I meant it. LOL. I forgot typing it. I guess it's implied with ”mainstream”.
