I hate this country :lenin-rage: :rage-cry: :NOOOOO:
A massive social network with no yanks? Oh boy!
itt: boomer-brains hating on the most predominantly zoomer social media app out of ignorance and sheer spite :very-smart:
Not gonna lie, it really is fucking pathetic how many aging millenials on this site are stuck in the past. Like people have moved on from 90s Simpsons and early 2000s era ebaumsworld comedy, or whatever the fuck. We get it, you thought the dark knight was “sick” when it came out. Yeah you like the “old Kanye” and that “classic 50 cent and Eminem rap.” Yeah we get it, Sega Genesis or N64 was the “bEsT cOnSoLe EVER L33t!!!” Yes we know that “FINAL FANTASY 7 IS THE BEST GAME OF ALL TIME!!!” Oh and don’t forget: “I remember when it was called ‘The’ Facebook you dumb zoomers!”
If it weren’t for the leftist ideas they were exposed to, I 100% believe they would become reactionary chuds. In fact I suspect there is a slight reactionary element in them because they just can’t get with the times. They’ll push back and say “hurr durr why should I care about shitty zoomer shit” even though that’s literally exactly what their parents said to the stuff they cared about. That being said there are some that realize that they are getting out of touch and are going out of their way to let others claim their own future.

bad take people shouldn’t be shamed for prefering the pop culture that they watched as a kid. It’s harmless and could not matter less
also it’ll happen to you
also it’ll happen to you
Joke’s on you. I am a millennial. It’s my own generation that I see falling for this nostalgia bullshit. I made a post about a while back: https://hexbear.net/post/247679. TL;DR nostalgia brain is often the first step into reactionary/fascist tendencies from what I’ve observed (e.g. “things were better back in my day sonny boy!”)
I don’t think it’s the “enjoying things from when you were young” part that’s the problem, it’s the “and that’s why everything that the next generations like suck” part.
I will be on TikTok the moment people start posting 50+ minute long reviews and video essays about 20 year old video games there
I actually think things overall are getting shittier, but I also notice a tendency of people to not deal with the present and retreat into the comfort of their childhoods. That’s mainly what I’m against. People who don’t wanna deal with reality and retreat into nostalgia.

if it weren’t for the thing that separates leftists from chuds, the leftists would be chuds! :thinking-about-it:
Yeah, insofar as nostalgia and those prone to a rose-tinted view of the past can lead to reactionary tendencies. See this post: https://hexbear.net/post/247679

just because they don’t like le doomless dance video scroll app? I’m not sure this is really reacting to something happening on this website.

It is, I made a post about it before: https://hexbear.net/post/247679
Actually I’ve never had or used tiktok, but I’m not gonna shit on zoomers for enjoying it, unlike a lot of people on this site.
Hey I’m a 30-something boomer and I get the importance of the tiktoks even if I don’t like it’s content
Generations are socially constructed but are a useful shorthand to talk about economic and social changes that take place over a longer period of time. The zoomer experience of amerika is different from the millennial one (and the transition is the cuspers). Generations Wars are liberal bs but it’s a fact that tiktok is more zoomer and Facebook is more Gen X and Boomer.
Generations only aren’t real when it’s something he doesn’t care about. If it is something he cares about, then all of a sudden they’ll become “real”
I think all social media is bad and should be banned, from boomer to zoomer
That said, I do think it’s bullshit for the US to focus on a Chinese company when there’s so many shitty domestic ones they have direct jurisdiction over. They are just bullying TikTok US into selling at a loss, it’s just blatant theft. All the concern trolling over Chinese spying is laughable when they have the FBI department at Facebook, and they can actually execute and arrest you
Wouldn’t that include this website, too? Social media can be terrible for you, but it can be enjoyable if you engage with it responsibly.
Honestly the US banning tiktok would probably do more to radicalise young people than any content on tiktok ever could
If they ban our TikToks let us take over their Facebooks and twitters and make them our new TikToks.
No they’re not lol.
But, it would be very funny if they somehow 5D maneuver this.
Sell the app to the American for like $3 billion, but sneakily include a clause that says China gets to keep all accounts and algorithms.
The Americans get a skeleton app that has to be rebuilt from the ground up, and by the time they realize that China releases another app called TokTik with the the original accounts and algorithms reinstated
I hope they don’t. I love my fyp. It’s taken a long time to curate and I don’t wanna spend a week downloading all my saved vids.
The few clips i watched about the hearing has shown me that its necesary to have a ban on people over 70 years old from holding goberment jobs
also one of the dinosaurs was constantly calling the ceo a cpc agent like he didnt said he was from Singapur at the start
