    They posted online in a vain attempt to retain control of the next big platform, because messing with the social structure of the west is of key importance to them.

    Don’t take the bait. Is a lie.

    I mean Jesus, refugees? What a politically charged word to use lol

      because messing with the social structure of the west is of key importance to them.

      Compared to American companies like Meta and Twitter?

      They want us distracted on racial lines so we don’t pay attention to the damage they’re doing.

      China wants us to overthrow our oligarchs because it would result in less American billionaires which makes them relatively wealthier individually.

      They don’t want good for good reasons. But good for bad reasons still beats bad for bad reasons.

      Like, did everyone forget all the talking points about why voting Biden/Kamala was the smart decision?

      Right now TikTok is the least evil big social media company, so it makes zero sense to ban them and leave worse up.

      For the average American at least, and I doubt your a billion, so I don’t know what you’re doing…

        Oh look! The oligarch president has decided that “by executive order” TikTok should return!

        If only one of us could have seen that coming because an American oligarchy suits China just fine.
