The president has been hearing from pro-Palestinian protesters at public events and on the campaign trail, and now on his campaign’s newest platform.

    Brb.

    Can’t believe his campaign thought they should venture in there. Tiktok is home to the generation that doesn’t watch cable news and hasn’t yet been brainwashed that it’s somehow okay to genocide children.

    Edit. Yep some of them have been scrubbed all the way to a few anodyne comments saying shit like “you’ve got my vote mr president” but a lot of them are still flooded with creative ways to filter evade with Rafah and genocide references. Gonna give an intern repetitive strain injury.

      if someone could take a bullet for the team, install that malware, and try to convince them about civil resistance that would be great.

      You give too much credit to tiktok kids. They were running themselves over with their own cars just a few years ago.

      Even their advocacy is a fad.

          As far as I know, there were very, very few cases of anyone actually eating a Tide pod. Like single digits.

        @Arcane_Trixster not “giving them credit” just pointing out that their media consumption practices are not the same as older generations and that has given them a different perspective.

        @Hyperreality fair point and China censors the hell out of its genZ. But China’s method is to brainwash people that what it’s doing in Xinjang somehow isn’t happening.

        Bombing Gaza is much harder to hide, so the party line becomes “it is but it’s ok because reaons”.

        As far as I could see Tiktok was censoring things involving Palestine as well which is why a lot of FYP content is about watermelons.

        There is no evidence of the “genicide in Xinjiang” besided the US, US allies and other sources stemming from Radio Free Asia, a known CIA mouth peice. when an idependent investigation came out by the orginasation of Islamic and Turkic States, investigated, they found no evidence of genocide.

          an idependent investigation came out by the orginasation of Islamic and Turkic States

          ‘Indepedent’:

          …Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been relatively quiet on the issue of China’s treatment of Uyghurs recently, not wanting to burn bridges with Beijing. Investment and financing from China to Turkey have significantly increased over the last decade. Turkey sees further potential cooperation, including Chinese investment in megaprojects such as high-speed railways, nuclear power plants and a shipping canal that would be an alternative passage to the Black Sea parallel to the Bosporus Strait.

          China’s involvement in the Middle East has reshaped the region’s landscape, expanding beyond traditional energy sources to encompass economic, geopolitical, and strategic considerations. The country’s “non-interventionist” approach is appealing to Middle Eastern states, which view their growing ties with Beijing as a means of diversification.

          …

          they found no evidence of genocide.

          …

          In 2022, Turkey issued a joint statement with 49 UN member states condemning the Chinese government’s persecution of Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims in Xinjiang.
