So you just think that the stated reason for why a government does something is always the true reason. Gotcha. Glad I didn't miss anything 👈😎
I'm saying that I don't make weird shit up to justify things I like and neither should anyone. I'm saying that the government never once needed to tell me that banning TikTok was a good idea, as soon as I learned there was Chinese ownership, it was pretty obvious their data collection practices were scary.
I love when people try to say you believe everything you're told when you just believe a single logical thing and could talk for hours about the lies authorities have told their people. You know, like when the Chinese government denies to this day that tienanmen square was a massacre of protestors? Protestors -- Those people you're sooooo in support of?
The mindless scrolling for hours on end, that's not what you care about. It's Palestine and its supporters. 😂
I didn't make anything up. I even supplied a video of a sitting senator talking about how it's something they talk about behind closed doors.
I'm surprised you believed tiananmen square actually happened considering that government denies it happened. I thought governments only told the truth about what they did and what their motives are and all those sorts of things. I'm glad you agree with me now.
Do you think maybe they looked into tiktok and then decided to actually pull the trigger while the whole Palestinian genocide thing was going on for a for a reason? Maybe the one that's sitting senator was talking about... Maybe the fact that it happened now and not in 2017 isn't just a coincidence. I know I'm asking you to think on your own and that's tough but I think you can do it.
Alright dude you're obviously a person who only cares about what they want to be true. You are tagged in my client so I know to never waste my breath on your ignorance again
Beautiful. Please never speak to me again.
Oh I will I just won't actually entertain the stupid arguments for any sake other than to publicly illustrate what nonsense they are.
So first you weren't going to waste any breath on me even though we've never actually spoken. You've only typed to me... And now you want to keep typing to me? But only to prove me wrong but you haven't bothered to do that with what I just said a second ago... Okay dude, it's all right not to know or to be wrong. You don't have to act like there's some big perfect explanation is why you're right and I'm wrong then you just don't want to type it out. We all know you can't. It's okay. 🙂
Just want you to know I won't actually entertain anything you say, just plan to show others passing by that it's hogwash for morons
Oh for sure! You're totally not responding to every single comment I make. You marked my profile so you wouldn't respond to me ever and that's totally what you've been doing.
Sorry, appending 13yo to tag
I'm going to do something that you can't because I'm better than you. I'm going to stop responding to you cuz you're a waste of my time.
Glad to see I got under your teenage skin. Enjoy the clips. For now.
I'm curious though, if you think the TikTok ban, which started being discussed around 2017, was initiated after the illuminati time travelled to 2023 and found out it was being used to ...talk shit about an American ally?
Literally all you need is an IQ of probably 70 to deduce how flimsy your theory is. Well that, and a slight awareness of world politics from the last couple decades.
Again, the reason it happened now during the Palestinian genocide and not in 2017. Is it just a coincidence that it took 7 years or was there something else that happened that made it more urgent.
I pity you.
LMAO interesting coincidence
No argument to the contrary. Cool 🙂. Glad You see things my way
Everyone reading, including you, sees the logic I laid out above, and the cockamamie bullshit you spouted which barely resembles logic. Enjoy TikTok, while it lasts
I think I made a pretty good point myself. I think your point boiled down to: I
f they thought about it in 2017 and only did it in 2023. That means they had all the reasons that they did it in 2023 back in 2017 and nothing new could have happened to made them actually follow through.
No one's reading our two comments but if they were and they were reasonable they would know you are silly. 🙂
I think the massive amount of downvotes you got kinda dispute your "point" 😂
If I'm ever pathetic enough to appeal to internet points and refer to the scores in less than triple digits as "massive". Just shoot me in the back of the head 🤣🤣🤣
Man, I must have hurt your feelings for you to say something like that. You really have nothing left to say to my argument. Do you? That's sad dude
Look at how much you're writing 🤣
