    Russia and China are waging a war against the west, and we are standing with our pants down, pretending that everything is fine.

    TikTok is a drop in the bucket, but we need to stand up and fight back against those who consider us their enemy.

    No need to start shooting, but we should at least give Chinese corporations the same obstacles that they give US&EU ones if they want to do business in China:

      Trade war*

      Tiktok got banned because useful idiots perpetuated FUD that only exists to make rich Americans richer. Let me say this again for those in the back: Tiktok was only banned because the American ruling class wanted the whole pie. If you ever said or believed “national security” or “privacy” concerns without evidence, I’m sorry. You fell for propaganda.

      Anyone who doesn’t understand this shouldn’t be taken seriously.
