Common theme with East Asia is the “population will shrink until society collapses”
Also I see this with the UK and Europe too, sometimes Canada. Always stuff like “something bad is gonna happen” with an image of stuff burning, as implying civil war because of reasons(?) 🤔
Seems kinda clickbaity
I see this on Youtube, Reddit, news, the internet in general.
I like to use Y2K as an example of this phenomona. It’s a common misconception that people were panicked over something that was never going to happen. In reality, programmers put loads of time and effort into fixing the problem.
Sadly, when a crisis is averted, people think it was never going to happen. Now, if the Untied States manages not to continue its descent into fascism, people will say that those who predicted it were just fearmongering. In reality, people seeing the fascism rising led to people working against it.
