Oh I'd be careful.

It's a humanity thing ... not a region.

History is full of "oh those people over there do that thing, how silly" and then it happens in their own backyard. We're all human.

This. I can identify a variety of purity spirals in non-North American cultures.

It does seem, however, that US-based social media companies set up systems that foster and fuel them, like warm a Gulf of Mexico (am I a racist for using that name?) makes hurricanes (not an intentionally racist suggestion).

Here is a question I don't know the answer to: are purity spirals common/problematic on WeChat?
