Boomers need to wake the fuck up. Stop supporting the attacks on Tiktok just because you personally don't like Tiktok or because of muh Chinese security threat. Instead, start hating your government for maintaining a monopoly of control on social media. Retarded boomers have lost the plot.
>>100179251>start hating your government for [something every modern Government either does or would handily consider doing]
>>100179288The west is not China, retarded boomer. Why do you support us becoming more like China? We've been trending that way for years and here you are fully supporting it.
>>100179251STFU stupid chink I hope you die
>brain-melting degeneracy:|>brain-melting degeneracy, japan (anime):O>brain-melting degeneracy, china>:(
>>100179251chud boomers love to attack everything young kids love and then act surprised when they get groomed and controlled by their opposition that panders to them constantly. literal 20 iq retards kek
>>100179319>The west is not ChinaAnd what does that have to do with the price of tea in... well...>Why do you support us becoming more like First of all, drop the "us" nonsense. Neither you or I work for the Government (though have fun coping that I secretly do). Second, the only thing I support is the Government protecting its interests, whether it has a thing to do with my petty creature comforts or not.>We've been trending that way for yearsIndeed, even something like the US that was founded by eleutheromaniacs will move towards becoming a serious Government over enough time.
>>100179625>the only thing I support is the Government protecting its interests>US that was founded by eleutheromaniacs will move towards becoming a serious Government over enough timeNot even deluded by nonsense, you ARE the nonsense.
>>100179908The Government-level focus on freedom has done nothing but hinder America's interests. Practical interests that benefit them, not whether or not a high-school dropout on his 18th birthday gets to vote.
>>100179288>the us should just be open to the world! It makes us economically competitive! Don’t be racist >*regulates the internet to the point that we’re no longer competitive *I fucking hate the Columbus University protestors for failing to produce any dead Jews.
>>100179908I can’t believe you’re still here. Shut the fuck up.
>>100180019What part of that had anything to do with >>100179288?
>>100180033Erm, sorry sweetie I'm not Tiktok you can't ban me
>>100180158>TikTok is banned>TakTek is realeased next day by the same or another chinese company>Lemmings will download it and keep doing the sameWhat's the point? This is just about setting a precedent in favor of even less freedoms.
>Tiktok is sold>Suddenly pro-palestine content is censored>Everything else remains the sameIf this happens it will confirm the Chinese security threat angle is fake and gay
>>100179251>start hating your governmentThey're not my government. Why should I give a shit? Chinese? American? Who the fuck cares about all that foreigner stuff anyway?
>>100179251China is a threat to national security fucking moron TikTok is just a data mining tool for them
>>100181368>He took the bait hook, line, and sinkerBy all means keep believing the government. Thank god people like you exist. Without you, the US wouldn't be able invade poor countries on the other side of the world because they threaten our freedoms or something
>destroys my games>destroys my movies>destroys basically everything I love>wants me now to helphow about you go fuck yourself
>>100179403pretty much this but op is still a nigger to think most of these voices are real. most boomers are too busy tweeting on facejew and the vast majority of voices exploding loudly are all mega media arms and will fall silent on this issue the moment their desk is hit with the next news cycle. Even if there was a violent nation wide protest they would still sign the tik tok bill regardless.
>>100179251Unban all western social media site on China then we can talk, Mr.Zhing.

>>100181368What data are they mining that would of use to the Chinese Communist Party? That doesn't even make sense.
>>100179251>AdversaryI have never once felt threatened by China or by Chinese people.>>100179968>The Government-level focus on freedom has done nothing but hinder America's interests.There is no such thing as "America's interests". The concept of a collective interest only emerges in sufficiently homogeneous groups. Multiculturalism, multiracialism, religious differences, political differences, language differences, sexual competition, wealth disparities etc all have the effect of making the collective interest less well defined. The collective interest cannot be served if it cannot be defined. The collective interest of a particular ant colony is much more well defined than the collective interest of life in general. The more heterogeneous the group, the less well defined the collective interest and thus the more difficult it becomes to serve the collective interest.>>100181368>National securityIf it was the security of a nation-state for my own people then maybe I would care, but all western governments are basically Israeli vassals at this point. What difference does it make to me if the Israeli ruling class is replaced by a Chinese ruling class? The US has been on a constant downwards trajectory since the turn of the millennium. This trajectory can only be maintained for so long before people start wondering if the previous century's supposed evils (nazis/soviets/etc) were actually the good guys. Meanwhile we have been told that China's collapse is imminent for as long as we have been alive, but every year they keep advancing at a pace not seen in the west since the 19th century. China will have a new city of 10m+ people built in less time than it takes Baltimore to fix that bridge. Between the US and China, it is the US that most resembles the USSR in the years leading up to its dissolution.
>>100180292the law bans any designated social media from a Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran. So TakTek could just get banned arbitrarily by Biden, making that route equivalent to a game of whack a mole.
>>100179251If you're smart enough to post on /g/, you're smart enough to bypass the ban. This rage shows you're not thinking rationally.
>>100183826>The US has been on a constant downwards trajectory since *1917FTFY, fucking ignorant Wilson damning this country to the most spectacular suicide in human history.
