It is inconsequential if the US or China have my data, both will misuse it and I am powerless to protect myself from that fact.
Not using LLMs presents a bigger threat to my career than protecting my data.
Whereas, China does not ask for my social network logins, or for me to be pre-approved to travel there. So that is unlikely to be affected.

Yet you voted for it
And even with our westminster system, One nation has swept the right wing. Considering how many seats they will likely get in the next election, my high horse has shrunk a fair bit.
Do you support everything the Klingon Empire does? That doesn't seem like the Worf I know. The Worf I know can distinguish the people of a civilization from the leaders of their societies. To conflate them just creates the problems you are criticizing
But you turn a democracy into a dictatorship through tribalism. So forgive me if I get mad at you trying to place me into a nice well defined box. You're helping erode the democracy I (and so many others) desperately want to maintain (and improve).
What would Worf do?
I'm certain he wouldn't have done what you did
I have friends in blue states who didn't vote because it wouldn't have changed the outcome given the electoral college - it's unfair to blame them for not participating as they were never able to in the first place.
Not that democrats are angels. You guys are damned if you're blue / (extra) damned if you're red - given the state of both options.
I appreciate that you're doing what you can
So, by their own metric, they aren't helpless at all and should appreciate other countries aren't as savage as they are with civilians, instead of complaining.
