It's more like a mix of Instagram and Pinterest. Short form video is frowned upon, they value longer and more thoughtful videos. It is definitely not TikTok, despite what the tiktok refugees initially thought.

They are actively working on English localization and translation, and they include a feature to automatically add subtitles in both English and Mandarin when speaking either.

It is a very welcoming community and it's mostly people sharing pictures of their pets in the comments.

It's not "owned" by the Chinese government, but like every other corporation in China it is the government that holds corporations to account, not the other way around like in the US. And it's more for worker protections and other regulations than it is for any sort of nefarious purposes.

The US government literally just effectively banned a social network through government mandate.

US corporations are the US government. They outright own it. US media is state media with extra steps.

Or that everybody owns. The means of information distribution and the means of production should be completely in the hands of the people.

Ok. What was the capital of Israel in 1947? Where was Israel located in 1947? Was there a country called "Israel" in 1947? Was there a country called "Palestine" in 1947?

There is no getting around the fact that Israel is a settler colonial state. It is stealing land exactly like the United States did to the indigenous people of North America.

Next time ask them why they don't personally run for office. Walk them through how only the capitalist class can actually afford to do so. The only people that can run are either members of the capitalist class or people who promise to serve the interests of the capitalist class. You can only vote for a candidate that doesn't prioritize your interests above those of that capitalist class.

Maybe they'll get it. Someday.

I personally appreciate it when people correct me on things like this, so it isn't a dig or anything, but the phrase is "toe the line." As in walk up and put your toe on the line.

"I'll be glad when they all get deported or end up in camps, serves them right for being anti-genocide single issue voters."

Totally rational statement.

For anyone interested, this is one of a series of sculptures in Poland meant to evoke playground equipment. You can crawl on it, but it's not actually meant as a slide.

What was the capital of Israel in 1896?

I use two spaces and you are all "no cap fr fr skibidi Ohio fam."

Fuck off.

Pineapples have enzymes that digest flesh. Make sure to score it a few times first.
