The sharing of phone numbers isn’t relevant because my comment wasn’t about getting called or messaged.
If you want to be like “but the sharing of numbers made being called randomly the norm and consequently normalised in people’s experiences” then you are still missing my point. My point wasn’t about marketing calls (which are also weird as fuck and a turnoff) but specifically being contacted by someone doing propaganda for a country, especially in the context of geopolitics. How many calls do Americans get from Taiwan about it’s (primarily) historic claim to be the legitimate government of all of China (including mainland)? How many emails do Americans get from Sudan and South Sudan about their border disputes? How often do they answer the door for a person to argue South Korean claim on the north korea? Or maybe their border disputes with Japan?
Actually, I am being a bit unfair with my examples. How many calls do Americans get from Taiwanese supporters that America needs to support Taiwan in their right to exist?

tells you why people dont find it odd in the US because its standard practice here
“well thats completely unrelated to my post.”
