Crafting strawmen and equating me with American fascists and Chinese fascists? You’re hilarious. I make the mistake of assuming people are bad faith actors sometimes. That’s why I try to account for nuance in my responses, allowing geniuses like you to completely gloss over my actual arguments like cartoons stepping on rakes.

People just don’t want to comprehend my arguments, as they might actually need to question their opinions if they do. It’s not even indoctrination per say, your brain is just protecting itself from having to challenge your beliefs or identity.

China’s government is bad. They are not socialists, but national socialists interested in their own power. I’ve seen no evidence of TikTok being manipulated behind the scenes at the moment, while Twitter is being openly manipulated by Musk to push fascism. Facebook, Reddit, and Instagram are a hive of manipulation that the owners refuse to moderate unless it pleases advertisers, allowing unscrupulous movements of tribalism and lies to spread unimpeded. The Democrats are making a TACTICAL blunder in banning TikTok, endangering democracy in the process.

Do you understand, or is this still too much for you to grasp?
