This sent me on a journey because this is just too funny of a list to be real. Alas it is not real and was made by this person I linked below. I know Obama releases PR lists of stuff he probably isn't listening to every year but Destroy Lonely being here combined with like every song being a TikTok song tipped me off lol.

I've been pretty enraptured by Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth over the past couple weeks, very well done so far. Probably will play Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth and Persona 3 Reload later this year.

 

I've been seeing a huge amount of anti-Chinese sentiment online, from obvious places like reddit, to even misinformed friends on social media falling victim to viral posts filled with misinformation.

What are we to make of this? Is this the slow march to war, by portraying them as pure evil, à la the fake story of Iraqi soldiers killing Kuwaiti babies to help get the public on board with our military response? It seems disadvantageous for the US and their allies to fight China, as we are incredibly reliant upon them economically and don't stand to gain much from the conflict.

Are these the irrational decisions of a dying empire? Or is there something else at play?
