This might not even be a real phenomenon, never mind the supposed causes. Several of those charts are very unclear about any relationships between the pre-Mao and post-Deng “elites” or other supposedly similar situations in the other regions covered. The definition of who “elites” are is also wildly different throughout the thread and fluctuates from income percentiles to “intellectuals” to feudal soldiers and beyond. This whole thing is dressed up as hardcore logic brainscience but is filled with nothing but shitty infographics that don’t say what the tweets claim they do, compare poorly with each other, and are used to justify a conclusion that is fucking eugenics. I don’t think there’s actually anything here except for a big stinking pile of bullshit.

I recently got a bunch of encyclopedia-sized cookbooks from a dead relative and they’re so much better than googling for recipes.

I think the answer is going back to books. The internet is over.

Hey everyone let’s quite literally judge this book by its cover

I like the shade of yellow in the text

Yes, all this drama over pointless twaddle.

“Community and solidarity”, “unified against a decision” - these words in this context give me nothing but despair. If only such energy were devoted to something that mattered more than this.

I don’t think they want to touch this hornets nest - Microsoft already forces people to create Microsoft accounts for lots of things. This is part of why the sudden outrage for Sony doing so is a bit baffling. Why this and why now? We live in a world filled with companies making us create accounts for all and sundry.

Yeah sure the entire US credit score system got owned a few years ago, but what if hackers deleted my DLC purchases?

Is this whole controversy just weird capital-G Gamers logging into their Steam/Reddit/X/etc accounts to complain about logging in to a PlayStation account? I don’t get what the big deal is.

I bet the so-called crimes of the ”non-innocent” 10-30% were merely acts of defending themselves against a foreign invader.

The real crumple zone is fragile masculinity.
