    Idk, the federal agency with 200 billion in the bank I think it a greater threat, seeing as tik tok is just one social media company. They all steal our data too, and sell it, including to the chinese the entire thing was bullshit. Once again it was because of Israel criticism being allowed, they didn’t falsely claim they were terrorist sympathizing by acknowledging what was going on over there.

    Israel first, to such a degree it makes one wonder why they care so much, until you remember epstein was a honeypot for israel’s intelligence agency to get blackmail on US politicians, and the UK. And businessman, the ivy league in general, swells. They’ve a critical mass. And they could have more than just child fucking blackmail too.

      My point is that with control of TikTok, they can control enough of the voting population to be set forever (media is like, wow we don’t understand why young men have suddenly started skewing right wing hard), granting them the capacity to give as many billions they want to their private army. I legitimately think that 2024 was the last time we will have come to a semblance of a fair election- which I believe it wasn’t either way. They needed to win that one, the last one, every one after this will be “free and fair” in the Russian or North Korean sense of “free and fair”. I mean they are blatantly open about it, on every level, no need to even go into the fingerprints they left all over, or the times they literally were caught or did it anyway- 2000 elections being settled by the SC, voter record purges, buying votes, redistricting and gerrymandering, bomb threats to polling stations, mail in ballots banned, that time they were literally investigated by the FBI in Georgia and destroyed the servers, that whistleblower in charge of the voting machines getting assassinated, it just goes on and on and on…

      On your second point, I’m with you, I answered one of your other comments, but it’s like… You have to tread lightly because you don’t want to give the nazis free ammo with that shit. I don’t know what to say, the situation is beyond unbelievably fucked up, and I genuinely don’t see how it can ever return to normality.

        Our elections have always been corrupted to one degree or another. The concept of a popularity contest where the person that makes the most money generally wins is complete bullshit for a democracy.
