I find it funny when people get upset that a meme template gets used in a novel way. These aren't religious texts that are immutable, memes evolve over time.

Then you haven’t used it. The Reddit stream of 100% hate towards TikTok without understanding it is a very bad take. It provided a ton of momentum in recent US social movements.

It's literally the main reason people found out there was a genocide happening in Gaza.

All news agencies in my country have a tik tok account and regularly use it to publish exactly the same news as they do on their newspapers or on TV. I don't see how watching that news on tik tok is any different that turning on the TV and watching it there.

You just need to train your algorithm, my tik tok always show a lot of interesting educational stuff. I can't remember the last time I saw any kind of soft porn there, my Instagram on the other hand is always shoving big and hard gym booties on my face.

the tiktok ban is making them all flood youtube… it’s going to get worse

Nah. You can still do that on X (formally Twitter)

There is no contradiction here, because the communists, with their customary candor, acknowledge the necessity of stifling speech they deem to be harmful. It is the liberals, those self-appointed guardians of unfettered discourse, who are engaging in hypocrisy. They wax lyrical about the sanctity of free expression, only to abandon their lofty principles the moment their narrative falters.

But enough about the US intelligence-industrial complex.

This is such peak western projection holy shit
