Also, is anyone still using this platform to rant about things? It’s so 2012 hahaha I can’t help it though, Lance isn’t home yet so I have no one to talk to 😮💨
The Hunger Games comparisons is insane, because we’re oohing and aahing over people in pretty gowns while children are being literally murdered. We’re living it.
The most insane thing about TikTok - which most people do not realize - is that the way it works in the U.S. is entirely down to U.S. legislators, but they somehow prefer to blame China for not regulating the app in their own country, which is beyond absurd.
China has their own version of TikTok, called Douyin, on which they put all sorts of limitations in terms of content moderation, number of hours kids could be on it, etc.
TikTok is entirely a foreign product, it doesn't even exist in China. The CEO 👇 is not Chinese, despite the racist innuendos by idiots like Tom Cotton. It's headquartered in Singapore, a US ally. And if they wanted, U.S. legislators could very implement the exact same rules as China on U.S. soil, there is absolutely nothing that prevents them to do so, America is fully sovereign in that respect.
But no, somehow they prefer to point to the difference between Douyin & Tiktok as some sort of evil Chinese plan to dumb down their population, when actually it's entirely a reflection of their own incompetence.
If you think about it it's the height of cynicism. They prefer to blame another country for a domestic problem than solving it. All part of America's post-reality era.
I consider myself to be fairly proficient at capturing moments into words and expressing how they make me feel, but I’m running out of ways to express the horror the world is subjecting Palestinians to and the disgust it inspires within me.
What I keep coming back to, is this:
It feels like how it would have been if the world accepted and supported Nazism at scale.
The actions, words and intentions of Zionism are all Nazi-esque, but it’s the widespread support that has a way of alienating those of us who maintain our humanity—like we’re living in an alternative dimension where we just don’t belong, one where human lives are meaningless compared with an extra 1% GDP.
I will never forget what so many people have allowed to happen with support or silent complicity, and I intend to do everything I can to make sure history remembers them in all their vileness as well.
If he won’t, another man will.
If you can’t do simple things to make your woman feel special, as simple as peeling an orange, you’re in for lifetime of resentment.
I like the orange peel theory. It’s a good metric in a world where women are told to accept the bare minimum.
