I think back to the World Cup with a unified social media message about how awesome American air conditioning is.

Like, that meme was astroturfed right? People in Europe don't talk like that or act like that.

And we also had foreigners from all around the world (Japanese, Korean, etc. etc.) come and be all Costco is amazing or other tidbits of pro-Americanism.

I dunno, something just felt off by it. There's clearly something going on and it doesn't feel completely natural.

It's fine to like America and be patriotic and all. But for it all to strike at the same time with extremely similar messaging? Even memes had more diverse concepts than what happened.

We are IMO in the age of AI boosted memes where people are trying to form large scale reality distortion fields.
