I couldn’t give less of a poo about influencers making money on TikTok.

My media is inundated with genocidal zionist propaganda completely supported by the state.

What is the difference between Israel and China to make it morally right for you to support one genocidal regime and not the other?

Seems like they don’t care about tiktok at all Idk if I’d call that support. Also, I can’t speak for him here but none of my tax dollars go to the Chinese government while more of my tax dollars go to isreal than local schools. So if hes from a country aiding Isreal like me he has an obligation to say something about it or else be complicit is his labor buying weapons for genocide. Its the same reason US protestors focused on Biden instead of Netenyahu when this stated. We don’t get to vote for or against Bibi, but Biden, we do, or at this point ‘did’

China has more trade ties to the US than Israel does.

I see no calls to stop investing in Chinese companies, or buying Chinese products because of the Genocide happening within their borders.

Also, I can’t speak for him here but none of my tax dollars go to the Chinese government

“With data provided by the Congressional Research Service, Senator Ernst and Open the Books determined more than $490 million from U.S. grants and contracts were paid to organizations in China since 2017 and another $870 million were paid to entities in Russia.”

Seems America just loves supporting Genocidal regimes with tax money, and Americans love pretending it doesn’t end up there.

So if hes from a country aiding Isreal like me he has an obligation to say something about it or else be complicit is his labor buying weapons for genocide. Its the same reason US protestors focused on Biden instead of Netenyahu when this stated. We don’t get to vote for or against Bibi, but Biden, we do.

It is morally okay to support, or completely ignore, countries like China according to you and the person I originally responded to.

Can you elaborate on why that is without making false claims about tax dollars?

It’s like the shittiest QVC and it’s all over my fyp. I hate it. I’ll see the same person selling the same stupid shirt so many times. There were like a dozen people selling a ghost night light. I caved and bought one because it’s actually adorable and my wife loves that sort of stuff and I never give her spontaneous gifts, but it sags in the outlet lmao. Like it just nearly falls out. There’s a bunch of people selling some tub scrubber too right now. It’s so so annoying. I just wanna see shit posts.

If social media is bad for your brain why is lemmy, a social media site, not?

Like, there isnt like 90% of ShitTok / YT is just a paid mess of advertisment, sponsorships and self advertisments for their “Prime” flavored drink that gets you cancer if you arent subscribed.

No no, the cancer is a Patreon-exclusive benefit.

Non-Patreons only get lead poisoning and holes in their brain.

This is exactly my take. I don’t understand humanity’s need to blame everyone and everything else for their own problems. Stop blaming tiktok for your dopamine addiction. Get help.

I’ll just say it:

Selling useless shit that kills the planet by keeping billions of people addicted to wasting their finite lives is morally wrong.

Nobody involved, whether it’s the company, influencers, or viewers will look back it from their deathbeds and see any good in it whatsoever.

Nah, plenty of these people will look back fondly on their sports cars, cocaine and lush homes.

I’m not so sure. What I’ve heard is that pretty much everyone thinks about how they were with the people in their lives.
