The discourse on American politics sometimes devolves to “Leftists who won’t vote” & “MAGA Republicans” teaming up to “getting revenge on liberals”.

    You’re simultaneously complaining about corporations influencing other people while also not even considering that TikTok is a corporation that’s influencing you?

    You ever consider the possibility that people reading the news from mainstream organizations are not mindless idiots that can’t think for themselves?

    You’re someone that’s been consuming propaganda from an authoritarian regime being spread by a corporation that’s beholden to another authoritarian regime and you believe in antisemitic conspiracy theories. Some people may indeed just go along with whatever a corporation tells them to think, but consider the possibility that you might be one of those people.

      I don’t use TikTok, or Facebook, or Twitter, or Whatsapp, or Nextdoor, or cable news channels, or state media, etc.
