an iconic picture of the barbarity of Israel and the USA. this is what the Zionists and democrats in this thread support. they dont even have critical support for it. its simply no red lines support. and you would think they are smart enough to realize that sniping 13 yr old boys is not going to help them get to Hamas. hell, the Israeli generals have realized that. so I am not sure if it is better to accuse these people of just being dumb or of being bloodthirsty for the murder of Palestinian children.

TikTok pushing Trump super hard, trending against Joe over Israel

You know, the Chinese controlled mind control app full of about as much misinformation as Twitter?

Probably nothing tho

Yeah it's gross. It's wild that people don't understand how big of a threat this is.

I think you guys are using the app incorrectly. So far all tiktok has pushed on me is ways to improve my pie baking and how to propagate different varieties of house plants. I’m growing my own herbs!

And the pies now are just ****ing ridiculous. Not humble brag. That **** took practice.

That doesn’t surprise me, and I didn’t mean to be dismissive. (I really just wanted to brag about the pies…) The truth is the most remarkable feature of the app is how strong the algorithm is. I’m not new to any form of social media, but it surprises even me how much effort it takes to reset the FYP. If tiktok sees you watching or looking into one video’s content, if you like something or visit the profile, it will send you down an inescapable rabbit hole of similar content. Mine happens to be pies. Just call me Mrs. Lovett. But if perchance my interests were in radical philosophies in any direction, left or right or to the moon, tiktok will enhance your exposure.

I think even being interested in politics will eventually lead someone down a more radical path, they do not need to start off being interested in radical philosophies. The way the algorithm works it will eventually lead you down a more radicalized path on its own.

And that, gentlemen, is how I ended up on Land Back

Sometimes it works out

Well, cheap is relative. They are firing mobile missile systems that can travel 800 km over open water. Obviously it is not very accurate, which is why they haven't done much actual damage, but the threat is clearly enough to damage world trade. And if this continues indefinitely they will eventually get a lucky hit and do some major damage.

And they are a guerrilla force which can easily blend into the local population, which supports them. I am not sure there is much the US can do, given our current strategy to minimize collateral damage. Obviously we could easily destroy all the infrastructure in Western Yemen and probably millions of people will die of thirst and hunger (they are already on the edge of this happening as it is) and that would probably stop them firing missiles. But it seems the powers that be would rather just pay more money to not use the Red Sea anymore than do anything that would actually work.

Ironically, this will hurt Egypt the most, as levies from ships going through the canal is a very important part of their economy.

You’re still missing the angle of my approach.

It's funny how Boomers are so paranoid about TikTok, it's just giving users algorithmic content the same way every social media outlet does. But because it's owned by the sinister Chinese instead of a wholesome meth-addled Neo-Nazi, the oldsters are afraid it's beaming pro-Palestine propaganda into the brains of the youth. Kinda like how my grandparents were afraid of ATMs.

I think by meth addled neo nazi you mean musk and I literally called out Twitter for being a misinformation cesspool in the same post as TikTok. If the “algo” is designed to bombard you with lies and misinformation then what’s the difference?

Like, “oh we’ve found this subset of humans susceptible to radicalization, let’s show them content that will radicalize them to lies”

Haha, that pesky algo, oh yoooooouuuuuuu

I don’t watch msm. And yeah, msm is disgusting and awful.

And it’s a massive issue. What news can you trust? BBC used to be decent but I’ve heard the slipped. I dunno where to get reliable information from consistently anymore. Reddit is awful too. It’s a problem

ooh, someone's a bit defensive.

TikTok leans pro-Palestinian because its userbase skews younger, not because the algorithm is "designed to bombard you with lies and misinformation." I assure you that if it was possible to put the whammy on teens via social media, the Pentagon would not have trouble finding new recruits.
