Not buying it though and not going to. He blames LibsofTikTok for radicalizing him and that's complete bull [BLEEP]. All LibsofTikTok is doing is reposting what these left wing lunatics are originally posting. Sort of a concierge of stupidity. He radicalized himself because he lacked the cognitive thinking process that should have brought common sense into the equation.

What say you, Casper?

Yeah I'm not seeing what you're seeing and I don't need to.  We should all be very careful about what we see on social media.  The posts that get boosted and shared are often emotionally manipulative and we should be very deliberate about whether we let that into our lives or not. The creators (or human aggregators) usually know they're being manipulative, but they usually don't realize how many different directions that manipulation can go.  The LibsofTikTok guys are just going for "libs are ridiculous, don't trust them." And that's most of what they get.  But some small fraction of viewers are getting "I should never be friends with a lib" and on to "I should disown any libs in my family" and finally with enough pre existing mental illness there's "I should go shoot all the libs".

Which is what I'm always on about.  There's a lot of dangerous stuff being said and a lot of dangerous technology amplifying it.  Let's start being more positive and constructive, please.  There are plenty of things you can follow that share positive messages about people from all walks of life, and with and without traditional values.  Follow those.

Lol. Peace, love, and media propaganda. Libs of Tiktok sows discord, but not the news you consume, right? I have been telling you for years that our media is divisive, profit driven, and partisan. What makes it different than Libs of Tiktok? Establishment support? When are you going to stop consuming it? 

And before you try to draw some line about what makes it different, understand that I am saying the legacy media does EXACTLY what you claim above in that it amplifies selective outrage and sends it out to its consuming base with little to no regard of how that impacts the small percentage of people who react poorly to it. How about you develop some real principles that will help you see this [BLEEP] for what it really is, without being told what to think. Follow those.
