π£ 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:
π “The world doesn’t trust the U.S. anymore”
π “Everyone is dumping U.S. bonds”
π “The dollar is collapsing”
π “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: π© Lots of profanity
π© “Collapse” and “end of empire” language
π© Cherry-picked facts with no scale
π© Very long rant designed to overwhelm
π© 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: π 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. πΏ
