All of social media needs an overhaul, but I promise you that the Chinese don’t want the American society to do well.

The Chinese want very similar social upheaval that the billionaires do, but for different reasons, and mostly worse ones.

Foreign governments don’t care if there’s civil war, they may even desire it.

…… not that there aren’t some western idiots clamouring for the same, both are awful.

They don't want the people running the government to do well, the wealthy oligiachs.

Which is good for the average American. And why TikTok is the only one the American oligarchs keep trying to ban.

This really isn't complicated.

They're doing a good thing for bad reasons.

Yeahhhhhhh, disagree that they’re doing a good thing. An American oligarchy works just fine for foreign interests.

Oh wow...

This is like denying the French nobility just wanted to fuck over England and insisting they supported America because they agreed with us or thought we made really good pie...

Just a complete detachment from reality with zero willingness to learn.

Have fun, I'm sure as shit not gonna waste anymore time here.

Maybe….. but the evidence suggests I’m right, and you seem to have run out of runway.

Have a nice day.
