Is there precedent for something like this? I'm clearly just a regular dummy but I can't think of anything similar ever happening in this country. To me, it just seems like a bureaucratic way of strong arming a sale.
I assume the US government wants to force a sale to a US tech company, no? Who would presumably profit from said successful app. Why not just outright ban it here? By kill I just mean make unusable. But you knew that, silly.
Iran might not be invading Israel anytime soon but they sure arent "trending towards peace" like you claim. You're wrong about this one, and your anger betrays you here. It might shock you to learn that even at your age, you can still learn something, too. At least I know I'm uninformed and look for the truth instead of just spouting off bullshit with nothing to back it up.
Iran literally just sent drones into Israel. You haven't been paying attention.
If you don't think Israel "that interesting or important" to the US government, you haven't been paying attention. full stop. This isn't about Palestine, its always been about Israel. They send way too much money to us politicians, including the one in the white house, for it to not matter "in the grand scheme". AIPAC money alone should be enough to convince you.
Why not just kill the app then instead of asking for divestment? Why do they still need it?
The Tik Tok ban is about keeping big tech in the hands of the USA. Are my account stats better for you?
Capitalism works! It breeds innovation like this! good luck getting non consensual ai porn in your socialist government
Kinda just feels like the subscription model honestly
Looks like street wear harry potter. The drip on ginny Weasley is 🔥
Always has been
A post on r/latestagecapitalism of a political cartoon mildly criticizing the spending for Ukraine war effort, it was the first time I really actually noticed a botted comment section. I noticed similar accounts clearly astroturfing the post and basically stopped using the platform that day.
The whole reason I found reddit to be useful was the discussion within the posts from real people with real opinions. If that's no longer the case then I can get the same aggregated content elsewhere. I can't use the site knowing the discussion is so influenced, at least on some level, in some subs. It's gross.
Lol I think the pure dialogue scenes in this movie are some of Tarantino's best work. The opener with Christoph Waltz in the French farmers house has always been one of my favorite bits of cinema.
I definitely went into it thinking it was going to be a lot more of Brad Pitt and co. killing Nazis though, for sure.
Property over people. It's almost cliche at this point to bring it up but here's a reminder that police in the USA were created primarily to return escaped slaves to their owners, they were a tool of the wealthy and merchant class. It's protect property and serve capital above all else.
The US wants to keep big tech inside it's borders. They don't want a social media app as valuable as tik Tok being used by any state department other than their own. It's not about privacy, it's about control.
That's fair, I get what you mean. I guess I just think it's less lizard people in robes eating adrenochrome and more bureaucracy than anything.
I think unfortunately the "illuminati" is a lot more boring than that. It's just a group of career ladder climbers hell bent on staying close to power and/or those who wield it.
We like to think the only people that would do something like that would be evil men and women part of secret societies with global ambitions but it's just these greedy fuckers who need validation in a way none of us could ever dream of.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say tribalism probably isn't going to be what bring us together as a country, but hey, what do I know?
