The first generation of brain rot was the TV. For now the average person could without effort, pretend to be a part of the world without actually participating in it, and even avoiding it for the majority of time. It was the first generation of American decline.
The second generation of brain rot was the consumer focused internet. When the internet left the hands of nerds and became accessible to the average person. Now the crach smoking hobo could pretend to have an opinion that was on the same level as the smartest American. They were equals now behind the walls of anonymity. Things got worse.
The third generation of brainrot was social media. Which stole everybody's privacy forever. A child couldn't grow up without the world knowing about every year of its life. Women became more desperate for the approval of men they had never met than their own husbands or fathers. Men became more desperate for women's bodies they had never seen their entire lives among them. The development of echo chambers made it possible for the crackhead hobo to feel like he was a genius and his opinion was the only right one because now a crowd that always agreed surrounded him. The rot was clearly visible now.
The fourth generation of brainrot was tiktok on shorts on social media. They destroyed the attention span of an entire generation which now needed constant drip feed of content and activity to feel like something was happening. Man children who couldn't handle sitting still for longer than 5 minutes. If ADHD was truly genetic it would have never triple or quadrupled within a generation and still be scaling up so fast. The brain rot was destroying the population.
Throughout it all, the Chinese understood what they had to do. Borders existed for a reason. Walls existed for a reason. Everybody wasn't equal. Everybody's opinion wasn't equal.
So they did what any responsible civilization would do. They blocked out the useless voices. They blocked out the voices beneath them as long as the voices above could keep improving things at a satisfactory rate. Don't use all the cowtools all the time. Use a tool when it is needed.
The Chinese built their own internet. They censored the worst the American minds had to offer the rest of the world. They built tiktok and filled their own nations feed with educational and useful content, while maximizing the skibidi production and recommendation on the American tiktok. Let them have and eat the shit they wanted. It wasn't China's fault that is what they desired.
What's worse now, the Americans tried to censor their internet. They tried to avoid the messages of r-slurs and imbeciles and having to listen to them as equals, but the American rot had gone too deep, and even the voices they were approving by now were r-slurs and imbeciles. In the end they had no choice but to remove censorship from the internet altogether. Guaranteeing that the internet would once again be owned by r-slurs and the untermensch of American civilization. Roaming around with the loudest voices effecting the future direction of America.
Conclusion:
America is doomed. Freedom is a privilege not a right, and the American populace has wasted theirs away. Only American decline can follow now. The internet should have always been a walled and controlled garden.
