Go fucking download tiktok, right now. I know, the shit is ridiculous, but trust me, okay?

Then, you’re gonna watch all the videos you can find that even vaguely represent lefty ideas, okay? The algorithm will fucking lock you the fuck in after like an hour.

And then just scroll.

Look at all these beautiful little zoomers out here fucking raging against the machine. White, black, cis, trans, fucking deep south, new York Jew, hippie van travelling, what the fuck ever.

The kids are alright, man. We got a shot.

Just like, don’t look at anything else for a while, cuz the algorithm will also force you into white nationalism if you let it

But then the CPC would have all my data and shit and as an American that really really frightens me! What if they come bag me in the night and take me to a red site just because I posted a Winnie-the-Pooh meme on Reddit?

R*dditors actually believe this though, they’ll use apps the NSA has backdoors to but not Chinese ones because they think that the seeseepee having their info is somehow worse despite them living in America because they’ll get shipped off in the middle of the night because Xi himself was offended by some meme they posted.

I got a Huawei phone for the specific purpose of Xi getting all my personal details.

Huawei has some really neat stuff going on rn. HarmonyOS looks crazy, it’s mostly android on phones, linux on computers, and lightOS for watches and similar smart gear but they have a whole layer on top that interfaces with everything else running one of the “harmonyOSes”.

I used to have a Huawei phone as well. I ditched it because it got like one software update over the 3 years I had it lol. Gave it to someone else, it’s still going strong. It’s very reliable if nothing else

Thank you, and yes It was! “Marx’s Capital: Illustrated”. Pretty decent read for a tl;Dr on Marxist economics

I spent a decent amount of time on tiktok before deleting my account and it’s both inspiring and depressing. There’s plenty of good content with well read creators that I really liked and appreciated. However the typical infighting, petty squabbles, and general anti-communism was off-putting.

I enjoyed both of their content when I was on there. I don’t remember the names of most of the communists I found there unfortunately but there are plenty of good ones doing the reading and pumping out great content. The amount of MLs was genuinely inspiring.

Oh you’re 100% right about the platform over all, and I fucking hate it, but this is a hopium post.

My grill-pill has sworn me to only post hope for as long as I can

Sorry for bringing down the hopium. I was a little drunk and wanted to blurt out what I thought about tiktok.

No apologies necessary, comrade. Your point and feelings are both accurate and valid.

Maybe it’s just my location, but every time I sign up for TikTok, it’s like 90% teen girls being cute and boring (not cute for me, I’m middle aged). The other 10% is normie dudes not being funny. I honestly wish there was a guide on finding leftist TikTok.
