Yeah I mean they’re right, it is digital fentanyl and it should be severely regulated, but only as much as every Skinner box that Silicon Valley churns out.
Letting tech companies do whatever is in their power to weaponize billions of dollars in psychology research to lodge hooks in our brains is very, very bad. The focus specifically on TikTok is ridiculous “Chyna bad” nonsense, but yeah TikTok is fucked let’s be honest
I mean, they are saying “fentanyl” in a very pointed way because these are the same people peddling conspiracies about how fent addiction is Chyna waging an Opium War on the anglos.
But yes, all these platforms are sick skinner boxes that should have their “habit forming” tools regulated out of existence.
Chyna bad
I mean, its hard to look back at her work and call her a good wrestler considering how high the bar has been raised by the women wrestlers of today.
It’s not the “Digital fentanyl” part they hate. It’s the “from China” part.
TikTok isn’t even Chinese really so look at this for what it is, Anti-China posturing to build sentiment for future conflict.
TikTok is is only 20% owned by the founder who is a private individual and not the Chinese government, and overwhelmingly 60% of the company is owned by western finance groups, ie: Carlyle Group, General Atlantic, and Susquehanna International Group, etc
3 of the 5 board of Directors for BiteDance are American.
TikTok isn’t even Chinese really
Its a product that competes with traditional American social media giants, so its (A) definitely from China and (B) definitely a powerful opioid and © directly responsible for… fuck, idk, Hamas? I think TikTok created Hamas.
3 of the 5 board of Directors for BiteDance are American.
Americans WITH CHINESE SURNAMES!!! We all know what that means.
Oracle Corporation, a CIA cutout, handles hosting Tiktok and moderation of what content north American users see… which means the Communist Party of China has literally taken control of the CIA!
Wouldn’t be the first time I’ve heard a John Bircher make this claim.
if I can’t wave my phone with the tik tok app open at a cop to make them pass out then what good is digital fent
If tiktok is fentanyl then Facebook and Instagram were heroin first.
what drug is hexbear the digital form of?
Estrogen
it’s da freaking red pill neo…
Datura
Punk af!
The Seventh Hallucination
Smoking phantom cigs and posting with my hexbear comrades
(My phone is dead)
One time I found a pod and I microdosed the seeds a few times a week. I know datura gets a bad rep but if you don’t abuse it then it’s actually really nice. Two or three seeds takes the edge off.
Taking so much loperamide it crosses the blood brain barrier
zima
imagine living in a world where you legitimately think that someone can read a few lines of text and have their entire worldview subverted
IF ONLY IT WERE SO FUCKING EASY
It’s not China’s fault America gutted its public education system to create generations of credulous rubes who believe whatever they see on social media.
We must invent the exact same policy we criticize China for in order to keep ourselves safe!
“National interest” is such a weird thing to care about.
I remember when I still hadn’t figured out that “national interest” in a capitalist society was fake.
Brianna Wu has been full of shitty takes since forever. The only decent ones were those against Gamergate.
Yeah like, Gamergate is the only reason she’s even a noteworth person.
What was she even targeted for? I’ve seen her mentioned all these years but never bothered to look into how she got involved with Gamergate.
Tech companies responsible for almost all of the most commonly used programs, including the operating systems of nearly every personal computer on the planet, originating in the US and regularly cooperating with the US government: Capitalist market freedom at work!
Chinese company puts out entertainment app which is slightly more toxic and attention-grabbing than the ones that came out before it: This is a never-before seen threat to American security.
Literally the videos all these people hold up as examples of antisemitic Hamas propaganda are just randos making historically accurate overviews or talking about how bombing Palestinian children is wrong.
Too many pigs on it to be fentanyl
rip bozo
TikGlock
This is like chud mad libs
chuds “use” words like a gumball machine “uses” colors
so to be clear if i show a cop a tiktok he will recoil like a vampire from a cross
Just have your phone speakers keep repeating the word “fentanyl” out loud and cops will be unable to come within 50 feet of you.
This is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read. What does that even mean? Like, if you accidentally use too much tiktok you will die?
Hopefully it means it kills cops.
I think they’re trying to say it’s “addicting” and “bad for you” and “China bad” while simultaneously pushing their new fentanyl boogieman. Absolute nonsense if you think about it for more than a second, but the people they’re lying to won’t do that.
I miss when conservatives used to focus on one or two buzz words instead of stringing together as many as they can.
This is much funnier though
liberal commie pinko tree-hugging hippie
if anything, this is a return to form
next headline: china is making DIGITAL FENTANYL-ADDLED TRANSGENDERS BRAINWASH OUR YOUTH
Way to make tiktok sound so much more based than it really is
Is that picture supposed to be ominous or scary or something. I absolutely want content from everyone in that picture. If only TikTok actually worked like that.
