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.
Thinking this way is how you get "and that's everybody's problem" kermit
TikTok has literally nothing to do with informing tho... it's literally the opposite.
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.
Ya it's literally the easiest way to get a quick video on something you wanna learn. Not to mention (unlike other platforms) you get a friendly face that teaches it to you
How do you even learn something in 1 minute? I call bullshit.

Tick tock was a bioweapon.
Bad take. We're in the modern world of information warfare: expecting every citizen to be immune to psychological trickery from a nation spending tens of billions to research and test ways to trick them is unrealistic and unreasonable. There's people with PhDs in human psychology spending their entire time and untold amounts of compute power trying to stoke the flames of division and push misinformation and you think we should allow it?
This is such peak western projection holy shit

This is actually a good point. Last time I said something good about China I was attacked on lemmy for it being censored. As if that doesn’t happen here
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.
