The video sharing app faces being banned in the US unless it severs ties with its China's ByteDance.
You're viewing part of a thread.
Wait, are you trying to frame "people protesting their government committing genocide" as them violating "their obligation to not freely offer yourself up as an attack vector."
You're literally just trying to say that citizens shouldn't allow themselves to be exposed to views counter to government line.
The US government is not committing genocide, it's the Israelis. I'm telling you these protests don't do shit becuase it's literally another government doing it and do not give a fuck about college kids in a completely different country.
TikTok is spreading this shit. These protests do nothing and only increase civil unrest.
Israel is dropping US bombs. 🙄
How is protesting at a college going to stop it?
The colleges have relationships with the companies that make the bombs and have direct investments in Israel.
Why not also protest at, I don't know, the White House or Congress? The people who make policy work there, a college faculty can't do shit to affect Israeli strategic policy.
The US government provides weapons for the genocide.
One of the main campuses in the protests is opening a campus in Israel, which students are opposing until Israel ends genocide and apartheid.
Many of the campuses donate money to or have partnerships with candidates and organizations that are also complicit in the genocide.
Of course Israel isn't going to stop genocide because a bunch of college students in the US don't like it. But that doesn't mean students have to sit idly as their tuition dollars go to fund genocide.
Ok. I'm not going to argue basic facts with a genocide denying fascist who thinks media should be suppressed if it "increases civil unrest" (aka, shows the truth.)
No, dipshit. I am also participating in these college protests and it's typically peaceful. And I'm also trying to tell you TikTok is perpetuating the aggressive nature of some of them causing cops to start mass arrests to delegitimize the protests. It is a fucking attack vector to cause unrest.
The cops start mass arrests regardless of aggression.
See, this is why it's not worth arguing with fascists like you. You're clearly just trolling; you aren't even bothering to keep your basic positions consistent (see you up and down the thread saying things like "These protests do nothing and only increase civil unrest." and yet you're know trying to claim that you're actually part of the protests and actually Tiktok is trying to 'legitimize' them)
Very unlike yourself, my opinion is complex. I want Israel to destroy Hamas terrorism, but I also want Palestinian statehood sooner than later.
K. No one asked
You are correct, no one asked indeed. Doesn't stop me from replying to rebuke what you said.
Lol, you replied with an unrelated non-sequitur. If anything, that does the opposite of rebuke what I said; further proves that you're knowingly trolling.
Funded by Amerikan money. The government you uplift, and everyone who still supports them after eight months of unmitigated genocide, is complicit. Is a collaborator.
Seeing someone posting sense and reason. From the heart of a disingenuous, hyperbolic propaganda storm is rare and appreciated.
Asserting that Biden is committing genocide. Really downplays and belittles what genocide actually is. It's a despicable thing to do. And everyone involved should be ashamed.
Biden can still be wrong, and also not committing genocide. And he is. His reluctance to distance himself from Bibi the Butcher. Has absolutely left him enabling it. Even as he tries in vain to reach out diplomatically to stop the slaughter. We're long beyond the point of diplomacy. And Biden must start acting like it.
Thank you for being a rational voice.
