Western SM is already in the pocket of the state and any content that goes against their values is suppressed.

Pro-Palestinian content on Tiktok can easily get traction and receive over hundreds of thousands, if not millions of views.

Considering that younger people are not watching regular media news, channels like fox just do not have comparative reach and they aren't buying into the zionist propaganda like previous generations.

There are a lot of content creators who are articulate, succinct and organisation has come out of it. People have created sites & apps that list all corporations and products to boycott because of their support for Israel and it's had an impact.

Sure, TTs algorithm can easily push you down unpleasant rabbit holes but that's the nature of algorithms, not just specific to TT.

So there might be similar content on western SM but it's being held down and isn't showing on people feed 'organically'.

I would tell anecdotes and stories that wandered off into the woods & an old friend said I had 'tangentism'

Upon looking at it again, I see it just wants me to type in "what is skibidi toilet" into Google,

More of a Simple Simon Says.... really

Exactly.

Fascism doesn't come in detended stages, it's tiny increments where the state seizes more power and restricts rights gradually until suddenly you notice that people are disappearing and everyones primary emotion is fear

And those people could fall foul of a new EO issued, that if becomes law will carry some heavy penalties

Roads existed before cars & it was cycling organisations that campaigned to have them tarmacked & sealed for everyone's benefit

Pavements were not built for vehicles yet in the UK over 350 people are killed or seriously injured by vehicles mounting it.

It's going to take several generations to remove the shit stain of "vehicular cycling" that John Forester has left behind

Thiel is an absolute piece of shit & the day I wake up to news that he's choked on his own hubris will be great.

I mean, somehow Bill Clinton is in cahoots with G. W. Bush to push crypto?

What else would they discuss while on Epstein Island?!!

Well, he's not wrong about them individually but the insanity is thinking crypto is the driving force behind fascism or that it was necessary to create to facilitate the latter
