the thing about "they want to ban TikTok because of all the pro-Palestine content on it" is that how does that reconcile with Twitter? I mean I guess you could claim that the userbase has declined significantly since Musk's takeover, but it's also incontrovertible that there's a lot of pro-Palestine content on it also

it's almost certainly the case that the TikTok ban is still primarily motivated by reasons of economic protectionism: the USA does not want the most-used social media platform to be a non-American social media platform. And we know this because they were already trying to ban TikTok prior to Oct 7; we already had state governments banning TikTok from government-issued phones prior to Oct 7

the intersection with Israel-Palestine just happened to give the initiative a big push

its a bit of both. twitter is ok because the capitalist classes know they can demand and receive censorship of topics that threaten them, tiktok isn't because they can't

i/p is more of a catalyst, yes, but it's also exactly the kind of topic that they need to be able to shut down by force

The liberal language of harm is unable to square these circles, many such cases.

we understand your pain after we brutally stomped your face in and we respect if you need to take your time before you reconnect

also we need you to attend a counseling session about how we were absolutely right to brutally beat the poo poo out of you and write a reflection paper on the topic of you being a worthless worm who will behave from now on

Speaking as a Liberal Arizona Democrat who thinks Israel is to blame for the Palestinian situation, they knowingly and intentionally violated University regulations and their agreed-upon Code of Conduct:

They were instructed to leave, and they refused. I support their message, but they decided to FAFO.

It is my hope that, on review, the university will drop the action against them, as they have done in other such circumstances. But to bash the school for following its established rules is misplaced, IMO.

liberals unironically reinventing the nuremberg defense lmao forever

nah, I’m happy to own my votes unlike some people who voted for Trump here

I held my nose and voted for Biden, and I held my nose and voted for Hillary, just like I held my nose and voted for Kerry, Gore, and Clinton before them

not because I’m a believer in the Democratic Party, but but because the Republican plan has been extremely clear since the 1980s and they’re trying really hard to bring it to fruition in the next few years

as pathetic as the Democrats are the Republicans are actively working to directly harm a whole lot of people beyond those already being harmed, and I’m going to vote against that

sorry you’re not willing to and will continue to vote for Trump like you did the last two elections

imagine being this much of a goddamn bootlicker lmao

Not being an electoralist is nihilism now. this is because the only political action possible is to vote. and you better vote blue or you’re anti democracy

nihilism is believing that better things are possible, don't you know?

US congress is about to applaud a guy after he calls their country inherently antisemitic

look as we all know the only safe place for jews is the country that deliberately keeps itself in a constant state of war and would basically collapse overnight if it didn't receive massive amounts of external funding

i don't get how you can say poo poo like that and not apply the exact same logic to the president. you are willing to lose re-election because you care more about giving Israel guns than all those other things?
