Before You Share That “The World Is

 πŸ“£ Before You Share That “The World Is Dumping the USA” Post… Read This

I just came across one of those long, angry viral posts claiming:

πŸ‘‰ “The world doesn’t trust the U.S. anymore”
πŸ‘‰ “Everyone is dumping U.S. bonds”
πŸ‘‰ “The dollar is collapsing”
πŸ‘‰ “Economic apocalypse is coming”

It was full of swearing, rage, and dramatic language.

So I did something simple:

I slowed down and fact-checked it.

Here’s what I found.

Yes — a few pension funds in Sweden and Denmark reduced some U.S. bonds.
Yes — some countries are buying more gold (which they always do during uncertain times).
Yes — China has slowly lowered its holdings over many years.

But that’s normal portfolio diversification.

It’s not “the world running for the exits.”

Meanwhile: ✔️ The U.S. is still selling trillions in bonds
✔️ The dollar is still the global reserve currency
✔️ Most foreign investors still hold massive U.S. assets

So why did the post feel so intense?

Because it wasn’t analysis.

It was emotional manipulation.

Big red flags: 🚩 Lots of profanity
🚩 “Collapse” and “end of empire” language
🚩 Cherry-picked facts with no scale
🚩 Very long rant designed to overwhelm
🚩 Blame + anger instead of explanation

Honestly, it reads like someone fed a few headlines into AI and said: “Write something inflammatory.”

And that’s the internet now.

Not necessarily truth.
Just outrage farming.

Remember: Fear spreads faster than facts.

Before sharing posts that make you feel panicked or furious, pause and ask: πŸ‘‰ Is this informing me or provoking me?

Calm information empowers. Rage posts manipulate.

Let’s not help misinformation travel — even when it agrees with our politics.

Share wisely. 🌿
