Are people really that brainwashed that they don’t realize that the only reason tiktok is being banned is because of the Israel Lobby?

A foreign nation wants to ban it because it doesn’t serve its interest, this foreign nation happens to buy up all our politicians.

The lack of self awareness is palpable.

Calls to ban this app stretch back to 2019.

So, either the US government is a horrendously slow machine or the “Israel lobby” is so powerful it has the ability to time travel, and is so self assured it only uses that power to coerce the US government to ban a social media site.

It seems hard to believe for the terminally online crowd, but people had opinions before October 7th 2023.

Opinions like, this foreign government run venture capital firm is using US customer data to empower its authoritarian goals.

Oh, and even opinions like, Israel’s treatment of Palestine is genocidal.

Seriously, you all are the ones who only just woke up. Now how about you try to keep up.
