Bottom line: That entirely depends on what you look like.

And for many, just as importantly, what you want need to look like.

Fuckers. I was about to renew. Fucking fuckers. Fucking fuckety fuck fuck fuckers.

Has Lemmy just been completely flooded with CCP apologists now?

RedNote ToS includes provisions that require you to post “correct views on history, nationality, state, or culture”.

I guess if you believe Taiwan should be “returned” to the mainland, Uhghurs deserve to be “re-educated” and enslaved, and that China is the natural and rightful pre-eminant global power… you’re gonna be fine.

You sound like someone who doesn’t really have a point but needs to argue for the sake of arguing. Maybe you can yell at yourself in a mirror - I’m sure it will be more entertaining.

Edit: And to be clear… I wrote something in my prior comment that most people would interpret as wrong without some qualification or context. I decided to leave it partly out of laziness and partly to see if you would catch it and how. But instead of digging in you are just being confrontational.

1. COVID-19 spreads more quickly - it is more contagious and is contagious for longer than the flu.
2. Severe illness is more frequent than the flu.
3. Long-term effects are far more prevalent and far more severe with COVID.
4. The ability for a coronavirus to mutate into a variant that is far more contagious and/or far more severe is much higher.
5. The death rate for the flu is dramatically lower - 1.8 / 100k population than COVID with around a 240-300 deaths per 100k population. More than 1 million people have died from COVID in the US alone vs around 4-6000 per year from the Flu.
6. People do in fact care about the flu spiking in winter. That’s why vaccines are promoted as much as they are.

What doesn’t kill you mutates and tries again.

“We should call our representatives”

“na na why should I bother? This requires effort and I have to figure out what to say. And anyway my cynicism dictates that it doesn’t matter. na na blah blah”

“How do you know, you’ve never tried”

“I just know blah blah they don’t care blah blah”

“Well, you’ve definitely proved that not calling produces no results”
