People need to make a note of this. This is the general userbase of XHS, it's a microcosm of Chinese society, it's not really representative of the average. As a general rule, anyone who comes from a non western/global south country whose lingua franca is not English, and can speak/communicate in English fluently (and not a dialect of English that's learnt from TV/social media/videogames/using translation software), is generally wealthier than most people from their country. Don't believe everything you see on the internet.

This gets really obvious when talking to Venezuelans being reactionary. They'll write English like a native speaker, then when you ask them what their family does, they'll tell you they own their own company. And it's like "Oh. So you hate socialism because the communists took away your rental properties."

The Venezuela stuff was making its rounds back in 2016ish when the US failed to do a coup. So a bunch of reactionaries who fled the country after failing were all over online lamenting about it.

Are you telling me trans people can't actually double-jump?
