    Every time I see people in the west mock Japan for being bamboozled by KFC into accepting chicken as part of Christmas tradition, I think of this.

    Turns out people in general are just easily manipulated creatures of habit and custom.

      The problem is that jewelry grade diamonds are still rare, even without DeBeers fucking with the supply.

      Diamonds are super common, but they’re mostly small and garbage quality (relatively).

      Why would americans mock japanese for eating chicken on a holiday? We do the same with turkey on thanksgiving which isn’t much different than kfc other than who made it. Everyone on this planet is brainwashed a bit by their ancestors.

        It’s not chicken, it’s KFC specifically. That’s usually the source of derision. Not to say I agree with it (let people have their little things, even if it’s corpo hell paste that they got it from)
