I have refused to sign up for TikTok.

The way it has been implemented in the United States for sure causes brain rot among children and adults alike. If we were talking about China's TikTok, then I wouldn't have any issues, as they use it for educational purposes and basically as a science app for kids to use.

That said, I don't agree with an outright ban on it.


And this is exactly why I am against an outright ban of it in the United States. lol.

Democrats are totally losing their stranglehold on social media; the election loss proves it. They've lost Twitter, they're losing Facebook (I still fucking hate lizard person Zuckerberg though, but I digress), and they've lost their far left stranglehold on TikTok ever since Trump signed up on the app.

This attempt to ban it isn't to protect children. It's out of panic because they are losing the Information War.

I'm just left wondering how did they ever have such control in the first place when you have such obnoxious douchebaggery.

Here Bill Burr is making fun of someone like me. Yes I have no idea of how to stop a massive fire I can laugh at myself. But then he ends "Oh I think they (California's government) did a great job." Really Burr, would you feel that way if your house was gone? Or what if you had a reason to say this was Trump's responsibility. Then I think they'd be crying that it was a total disaster. And this is a "comedy" show.

Plus it gives them more institutional power than ever before. I'm honestly pretty torn on this. TikTok is a big fucking problem and there's nothing stopping something else from taking its place.

I wonder if at this point the best course is to knock down the ban and just enforce TikTok social bans. If you have the app, I don't date you. If you have the app, I don't talk to you. If you have the app, I don't hire you for jobs. I ban the app in my home. Etc. etc. and let it die a natural death when it becomes uncool.

A good part of it is the so called anti israel sentiment, and cannot allow that, no sir. Of course that isn't the only reason, but it's a significant part of it.

Couldn't find it on youtube, only rumble, but here is a link to a Glenn Greenwald video going in a bit more depth if anyone cares that much about the why. https://rumble.com/v5krf7m-fearmong...stem-update-retrospective.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp

I mean, Instagram is still a thing, and I know for a fact normalfags treat it like another TikTok as well.

My mom uses that shit all the time and she's always falling for those "here's how you can make HUGE amounts of money by doing little to nothing!" videos, thinking they are legit and everytime I tell her they aren't she thinks I'm the one that's lying.

This makes me appreciate my Boomer Dad. The only social media app he uses is Facebook, and even then he barely uses it.

His words: "You know ... Facebook made me realize that I don't like people nearly as much as I thought I did."

I love my Dad.

Like seriously, America First doesn't help anyone. It doesn't help the poor, who will remain poor even if all the brown people in the country disappear. It certainly doesn't help the rich, since it dwindles their options and cuts into their bottom line. It also doesn't help the Feds, since they make money from taxing immigrants, legal or otherwise, and every immigrant removed is one less taxpayer who pays into the system, as well as potential prison labor they can make off criminal aliens.

I am going to put out a reminder that every real estate mogul, especially Donald Trump, is screwed if the economy fails. They need “the poor” to get more money in order for their products to sell. Trump knows this, which is why he isn’t going to flood the country with cheap labor. It would be suicidal.

Tik Tok being a Chinese app let's you shittalk Jews without getting banned, that's literally the only reason they want to ban it.

They could give less of a fuck if it melts children's brains.

No, the reason they want to ban it is because the app has backdoors and tons of service members have it on their phones. It's a massive information security breach.

If the rich knew not to do self-destructive things, you wouldn't have guys like Elon Musk or Donald Trump.

Trump has had to file for bankruptcy several times, and Elon's mishaps in car design made his company the new laughing stock of the EV market.

Hell, we had to bail the rich out more than once with taxpayer money. If they're that stupid in running their businesses, how the hell can they run the government properly? The only reason Trump's first term did so well was because he had people who knew what to do, but they kept defying him, so his new court is stacked full of ass-kissers and sycophants.

This a dumb argument, strategic bankruptcy is something wealthy people do several times a year to grow their own personal wealth.

It's one of those things like hiring a prostitute that is common among the very poor and very rich but basically never happens among the middle class.

Personal vs corporate bankruptcy. You run up debt on the corporate side to increase your personal wealth/assets strip the corpo of it's assets and then declare bankruptcy leaving your personal assets untouched

Repeat as necessary.

This is like rich person 101. People like Mitt Romney literally do this for a living and it's retarded that people go "hurr durr guy worth 500 billion dollary doos is a loser because he declared bankruptcy 20 times!

Yes it's immoral and scummy but they have 500 billion dollars and you don't.

Take Dave Ramsey's cock out of your mouth, his advice is meant to keep you poor.

Hopefully they go to Instagram where everybody shits on niggers and Indians.

I'm honestly astonished the amount of racist memes there.

It's pretty cool.

All those brain rotted teenagers, and middle aged bitches moving from TikTok to Instagram with the hopes of continuing their brain rotting.

Only to be horrified tons of racist memes aimed at Indians and Black people.

I hope they post their reactions to such memes onto Instagram so that they can get publicly mocked.
