I know :) I was shocked to find out that the most downloaded app among the chinese diaspora anywhere is We(f*cking)Chat: multiple studies of chinese respondents (mostly U.S. citizens / permanent residents who've never even been in china) show that 95% use it daily(!!!), with 82% insisting no viable alternative exists. So you flee the communist regime for the "free world," only to stay leashed by choice?
Most ppl want a one-size-fits-all fix for humanity... I gave up on the majority of it, I'm not even counting most as my species (I'm "an alien on Earth, where coercion is normalized"). They get exactly what they deserve. I started using social media (though I don't enjoy it, tbh... even some say I'm okay-ish at it) just to track down my kind, scattered across the globe. I've met some IRL while living between places, mostly due to circumstances, only very recently by choice (never rooted in any one for more than 6 months) :) The rest of humanity just doesn't concern me.
TL;DR: I'm not a racist (I'm much worse ;) ) -- I'm a speciesist, and I'm here to find my kind and build something together :)
