We actually live in a world now in which the President of the United States explicitly states his intent to overtly violate the first amendment and the media just repeats it as if nothing of any note is going on.

Well the media is owned by them so...
and the media just repeats it as if nothing of any note is going on.
Mainstream media at least. Thankfully, Arstechnica and The Verge have been shouting from the rooftops at how unconstitutional and fascist the trump regime is being.

I think we actually get to understand now how Hitler came to power. I remember in school, I was mystified how such an hateful man could become a leader of a country. Now I understand.
History will most likely repeat itself and humanity needs a big war to once again remember what hate leads to.
It just sucks for the ones who already learned that lesson from basic history.
Best advice: Chop wood and carry water, or in other words, prepare for hard times and be careful of which side you are on.

So like X.
Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100%
Me says posts that start with "Trump says" should be tweaked to become 100% invisible.

The open corruption, clear as day illegal and unconstitutional moves, and his overall smugness is embarrassing.
The GOP has gone insane to allow this man to continue like this. They are all sick with power and are hoping to "get theirs" next from daddy trump.
They are ALL traitors and should be charged for allowing the crimes to continue.

Sure, it'll just kill the app in the US because fascists lack any creativity so it'll become a stale echo chamber before people just leave
Oh sure, but it's the lefties who are in their echo chambers.
Had to leave Twitter when it became a Nazi site, I can leave TikTok to I guess.

So, Trump effectively nationalized TikTok, valued at $300b. He sells it to friendly oligarchs for $15b. So far, this is basically the post-USSR playbook, and how Roman Abravmovich, Alisher Usmanov, Vladimir Lisin, etc. got so rich.
But it might piss off his oligarch buddies if he drives all the users off TikTok making what seemed like a steal into something worthless instead.

I never used it because of the Chinese government affiliation. I’d feel even less inclined to use it with maga affiliation.

In other words, trump says "Stop looking for the Epstein files!".
Gen Z is so dumb that they're all going to be Nazis is 6 months.
Most of Gen Z are in their twenties and capable of thinking for themselves. Generally speaking, they’ve grown up accustomed to and accepting of neurodivergence, gender fluidity, and the spectrum of sexualities.
It’s the younger and older generations I’m more worried about.

and that is what we call another piece of their propaganda machine
I'll just leave this here.

Unsurprising that a guy collapsing the Republic into a fascist dictatorship says that TikTok should be a mouthpiece for the Government. It's time for someone in a country that ISN'T the US, Russia, or China to start a TikTok rival for people to switch to.
Russia, or China
These are the only countries you can trust to not extradite you to the US you fucking baffoon.
