I honestly don’t personally know any real-life person who acts like that - they’re either just not scared of cool infrastructure, or they’re the occasional ‘patriot’ freak who’s nationalist/racist enough to consider Japan a threat too.

It’s a subconscious prejudice rather than active thought. But it’s very real, and very common. People will react differently to the same image depending on where you tell them it’s from.

I think this particular bit came from the “Urban Hell” community on Reddit, where they got trolled hard with pictures of cities from India or China that were intentionally mislabeled as Japanese. Giving birth to the meme:

• Coolest Thing Ever, Mumbai, Maharashtra: 😤🤮💩
• Coolest Thing Ever, Munbai, Maharashutora-shu Prefecture: 🤯😍🌸

Thank you for correcting them. This is a Christian Web Blog Site.

I call 'em the rich pedo class when talking to normal people. Bougie pedo motherfuckers is also a fave.

Can I just drink the Verification Can, or do I need to stand up and shout, “MCDONALD’S®!”

Why do people security- and privacy-focused people distrust NSALinux? Well boy howdy, that’s a tough question that isn’t answered by looking at the project’s origins.

Starfish ALL brain! Decentralized nervous system means it’s brain all the way down, baby!

China prepared for the global food crisis by actually preparing for a global food crisis, and are successfully weathering the current global food crisis. Just like how they prepared for a pandemic by preparing for a pandemic, then mitigated a pandemic far more effectively than anywhere else.

… but at what cost???

Those babies have already risen to the rank of Lieutenant Commander in the IDF. They’ll be Admirals by the time they’re potty trained.

Um, actually, it’s antisemitic to protest outside of my synagogue. It’s also really affecting revenue from the Mediterranean beachfront property we’re cleaning up and selling.

Hey friend, I know the address of your red pineapple off by heart. Don’t worry, I won’t doxx you, of course.

I have a little red notebook that has everybody I care about’s phone numbers and addresses and email addresses in it in the drawer in my kitchen. If you aren’t important enough for me to go get the little red notebook from the kitchen, then I probably also don’t care if I can contact you ever.

Ooooh, you forgot to say ‘Um, Actually…’ so we cannot award you the point. Any other toddlers posing as anarchists can buzz in now to steal.

Hell yeah! All states are awful, bed time is authoritarian, and green vegetables are fascist.

Ok but what if they made the snoot droop?

Yeah, yeah, we’ve all seen the Time Knife.
