"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Former Japanese television presenter and YouTuber Kanon Aoki has warned that X’s automatic translation tool is damaging Japan’s international reputation as a polite and harmonious society.

She explains that the feature now exposes blunt or negative online comments from some Japanese users to global audiences, revealing opinions on topics like tourism and cultural norms that were previously hidden by language barriers.

My favorite comment response to it:

it is having the opposite effect for russians, indians, iranians and people otherwise routinely cast as bad guys. they are funny, intelligent, and self aware.

I doubt that about Indians, since that commenter himself is Indian. Very sneaky to put Indians in between Russians and Iranians.

Indian internet presence does not help India's reputation at all. Innumerable bots operate on Twitter to spread anti-muslim bigotry. They share shit like siding with Israel simply because Israel is genociding muslims.

India has some amazing cultures and you'll often find very accepting people here, but India's online diaspora is a lost cause.

Not to mention India truly is very unsafe for women. Anyone denying this is just coping.
