Not as good as ignoring the history that happened in favor of simping for Chinese authoritarianism tho amirite
I'll bite stranger what history am I ignoring?
Do you mean to say by not taking the US government at their word for the reasons they gave for banning TikTok are true? I think it's pretty dangerous to say that someone is denying history if they just think political actors are being less than honest.
If you mean something else, I'm all ears 👂
I told you that the TikTok ban has been in the works for years with bipartisan support.
Which by the way glancing at headlines once a month would've made you aware of.
But no, you don't care, you're clinging to this braindead idea that the government thinks they're going to silence support for Palestine by banning a single app. That it has nothing to do with very obvious and explainable security concerns that were brought to light long ago.
None of the facts matter, just some hair brained, half baked conspiracy theory that you can only believe if you remain ignorant to basic facts about the world.
Even if you were right, which you abso-fucking-lutely aren't, it would be a bat shit stupid plan because a) you could make another social media account and support Palestine somewhere else, in minutes if that's what the actual concern was and b) if the slacktavism can't be bothered to switch to another platform it wasn't worth a fuck to begin with and therefore the government probably wouldn't have been worried about to begin with
So you just think that the stated reason for why a government does something is always the true reason. Gotcha. Glad I didn't miss anything 👈😎
I'm saying that I don't make weird shit up to justify things I like and neither should anyone. I'm saying that the government never once needed to tell me that banning TikTok was a good idea, as soon as I learned there was Chinese ownership, it was pretty obvious their data collection practices were scary.
I love when people try to say you believe everything you're told when you just believe a single logical thing and could talk for hours about the lies authorities have told their people. You know, like when the Chinese government denies to this day that tienanmen square was a massacre of protestors? Protestors -- Those people you're sooooo in support of?
The mindless scrolling for hours on end, that's not what you care about. It's Palestine and its supporters. 😂
I didn't make anything up. I even supplied a video of a sitting senator talking about how it's something they talk about behind closed doors.
I'm surprised you believed tiananmen square actually happened considering that government denies it happened. I thought governments only told the truth about what they did and what their motives are and all those sorts of things. I'm glad you agree with me now.
Do you think maybe they looked into tiktok and then decided to actually pull the trigger while the whole Palestinian genocide thing was going on for a for a reason? Maybe the one that's sitting senator was talking about... Maybe the fact that it happened now and not in 2017 isn't just a coincidence. I know I'm asking you to think on your own and that's tough but I think you can do it.
I'm curious though, if you think the TikTok ban, which started being discussed around 2017, was initiated after the illuminati time travelled to 2023 and found out it was being used to ...talk shit about an American ally?
Literally all you need is an IQ of probably 70 to deduce how flimsy your theory is. Well that, and a slight awareness of world politics from the last couple decades.
Again, the reason it happened now during the Palestinian genocide and not in 2017. Is it just a coincidence that it took 7 years or was there something else that happened that made it more urgent.
I pity you.
