    My imagination is that TT is a supereffective propaganda machine because you don’t get the time to think. In that sense it sends falsehoods to subliminal. Am I right? Is there other aspects that makes it dangerous?

      That’s exactly what TikTok is. It’s just the latest weaponized propaganda machine from the CCP designed to destabilize social harmony in the west and weaken the youngest generations’ trust in western democratic values (specifically to ensure their values and priorities are molded to align more with hypercorporatized capitalism x mass governmental surveillance and control.) Basically, “don’t question any narratives, shut down any dissenting opinions, it’s okay to hand over all your private information, and also - spend, spend, spend, peasants.” We’re seeing this taking place all across the west today, and it began around the time of the Occupy Wallstreet movement, and Gen Z in particular are EXTREMELY susceptible to this propaganda.

      TikTok wasn’t the first tool to be used against us, but it’s certainly been the most effective, and I’m not sure the youngest among us can reverse the damage already done to their minds. I’m extremely worried about the future of all free democratic nations, given that in a very short number of years, these kids are going to have political influence via their votes. We’re sliding fast into a neofeudalistic world, and it isn’t going to be a superficially-fun dystopia. It’ll just suck massive cock.
