        Average *Japanese person.

        The usage of twitter was never as high as other social medias in Europe (and I presume other parts of the globe too).

        Looking at statista; it seems the main perpetrators are the US and Japan, (30% and 56% of the relative populations).

        From what I can tell (or be bothered to check); Japan is the only country with over half the population on X. Therefore making the sentence 'the average Japanese person uses X, to be true.

        On a tangent, I wonder what Japanese X is like; is it just a sea of hand drawn tentacle based erotica, and is the source of the countries porn? Or does it see the same types of nationalism drives that western X does? Is Grok rewriting Japanese empire war crimes?.. There’s a whole world on there we’re not privvy too.

      Not even just average people. Exceptional people who absolutely know better still fall for this shit. The “marketplace of ideas” is a failure.

      If people want real ideas they need to grow them and care for them and that shit is hard and it will cost you time and money.

      Fucking Moron Man! Defender of the average Joe, protector of the woefully mediocre! Without a thought in his head, but a spring in his step, he fights on with the conviction of a total idiot!
