the_dunk_tank
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

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.
Its a product that competes with traditional American social media giants, so its (A) definitely from China and (B) definitely a powerful opioid and (C) directly responsible for... fuck, idk, Hamas? I think TikTok created Hamas.
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.
