Title is editorialized to meet HN length limit, full title:
A small plane slammed into the tallest skyscraper in China’s capital. Hours later, it was like nothing had happened.
NOTHING about the event about which there is a lot of data available.
Yeah WE KNOW THEY CENSOR, CHINA BAD.
It's not even some red scare anymore.
It's like we collectively need the repeated constant mention of "china bad", like some sort of mental pacifier, to not see everything wrong and just as bad in censorship in the west (UK, Germany, sometime the US), or more broadly everything which is going to shit here but is soaring and going well in Asia.
Mental infantilisation to the extreme, to keep our inner frightened and traumatized children in control. Thank you for helping that effort soldier.
