RRR!!!

Culture is a major currency for clout. US is a global superpower, not just because of its financial currency, but because they have had a solid frachise over culture. Our clothing, music, movies everything diffuses out of the States. Information asymmetry and media gatekeeping ensured nobody other than America could create culture.

What RRR has done for India is phenomenal. It is seeding India in the global cultural ecosystem.

My first reaction (and pretty much everyone else's) when I found out that TikTok was getting banned was to make a stupid joke about it. It wasn’t shock or anger, but amusement. (1/n) Thousands of creators are the cusp of losing their accounts, and the first reaction from us woke bois are jibes and wisecracks about tiktokers. The primary reason why we are apathetic is because we don’t have a single follower on any of those platforms. (2/n)
