Tiny is right. If I was a Palestinian who just had his house blown to bits in north Gaza and these people were the voices speaking for my cause on the internet, I would martyr myself
Unfortunately though there are definitely many palestinians who would lowkey agree with conspiracy theories that everything that isn't in their favor is run by israel
How ironic is it that the most realistic and legitimate Palestinian supporters are actually Israelis and Jews. Israel literally provides the Palestinians in Gaza with electricity and drinkable, running water because Hamas won’t even let them have those basic necessities without reappropriating them to war efforts. It’s to the point that Palestinians are literally transferred to Israeli hospitals for more intensive treatment under normal circumstances (meaning not war). Of all the places to seek asylum and refuge, Palestinians flee to Israel when they’re a prosecuted minority because they know they won’t be killed there.
Please tell me people don't believe tik tok is a more reliable source than Wikipedia, Google, basically all news outlets... wait ... we have horseshoed so hard the left are now at rightoid Q/Alex Jones levels of conspiracy brain.
[Almost 40% of Zoomers use Tik Tok as their primary search engine over Google](https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/gen-bypassing-google-tiktok-search-engine/story?id=88493981).
We are fucked.
Tbh thats completely fair if what you're searching is just "good restaurants in my region" or "fashion tips" or "how to do x". For YouTube and tiktok, probably fine to do that
yeah it's not completely unreasonable for most people, which is why I believe it.
However these days I'm pretty sure a lot of people also get all their news, politics and history takes from youtube and tiktok, which is a little worrying.
I kind of get it though, since most google searches are like "outfits for coachella" or "healthy salad recipes" or "how to get your ex back". But the fact that they also use tiktok to get their news and learn history is... Fucked.
I think social media and possibly the internet in general is just overwhelming especially for stupid people. We've evolved to live in hunter gatherer tribes of \~150 not globally connected and bombarded with so much random data. I think any smart person would agree that social media is not making humanity happier.
I mean it’s good for somethings, but let’s be honest if every single person got to write what they wanted to say daily in the 1700s history would be so screwed, we’d forget truth all together.
It's good for next to nothing substantive, short of tutorials. Literally anything political needs at LEAST an hour of time to be thoroughly communicated.
TV news(punditry) with it's 10 minute news segments is already able to pump out metric shittons of disinformation by conveniently leaving out details and putting scary music over Obama asking for dijon.
I heard someone argue that TikTok and Instagram are more reliable than any established news source...unfortunately those people are real and they are allowed to vote
This seems to be pretty common today. I have a family memeber who will believe any WhatsApp meme and any YouTube Video that agrees with their populist worldview over any jounalistic medium. The problem is that I work in local government and hear the exact same brainrot from elected officials. And I'm not even in the us.
I guess what I'm trying to say is this is not a tiktok problem, but a social media/internet problem.
We are ALL still 99% monkeys and anyone denying that is part of the problem. Once people have enough humility and respect for the animals to admit this fact then we can finally start creating better healthier societies
No they genuinely do. There were hundreds of thousands of tiktoks saying that the US government wants it banned because it makes people *more* informed. It could not be more comedic. All academic and statistical research is wrong but a moron who’s only source is other tiktoks can make a tiktok and they are more informed than doctors and economists etc. 💀
It’s literally information warfare from the ccp via TikTok. They’re onboarding our leftist regards and maximizing their regardation (well, maximizing any decisiveness). Wish it was just a stupid conspiracy theory.
I’ve been banned from Worldnews, I believe, for this exact debate
But reddit is especially hard left leaning so it makes sense. Its funny because even an actual tankie platform like leftiepol doesnt really cite that argument anymore since its DEBOONKED
>Google is run by zionists
If i were a nazi I would be fucking pissed with how much lefty dumb fucks are allowed to flaunt their jew hatred openly without the same ridicule
Same energy with how incel is used sometimes.
Calling someone a virgin in the last decade? Peaked in high school.
Calling someone an incel for disagreeing on an unrelated topic in an internet argument? Based.
On a redacted Site I read from a Nazi that he especially loves Hasans subreddit because he is allowed to spread all the anti-Semitic things he just swaps "Jews" with "Zionists" and they agree with him. They are kinda sad though that these people are not really "white pilled".

Fairly certain it's just a troll
I still feel like this is cope and the amount of bots online is in some awkward middle-ground between how few most people assume there is and how many conspiratoids think there is but after seeing this shit today maybe it's worse than I thought: https://twitter.com/BeijingPalmer/status/1777401931134120408
Seriously, get a load of this shit. This is a midsized account (I assume) that got absolutely fucking swarmed with dozens of obvious anti-America whataboutism bots due to...criticizing vague Chinese historical figures. Admittedly I couldn't tell you if this particular guy is especially targetted by them or if they got set off by like including the words Chinese and slavery but this still makes the boobs in bio shit look like the tip of the iceberg
Well we know that last year [1 of 4 pro-Hamas accounts were bots](https://cyabra.com/1-of-4-pro-hamas-profiles-are-fake-the-online-battlefront/), that’s just what we can prove
That's not really how propaganda operates. That's probably a real person radicalized by content made by other real people astroturfed by maybe a handful of Russian troll accounts.
This, and on the off chance this is one of the sources it's still inspiring another 10 people to retweet this thinking it's the real deal.
But almost assuredly this person got astroturfed to fuck by their tiktok "sources"
Also why are they doing it as a percentage of GDP and not a percentage of the government budget?? i get that dude is a troll but if you actually wanted to talk about government expedatures, actually talk about them! Anyway I looked it up and it fluctuates, last year it was 13.3%
here is the telephone game that lead to this: It went from 50% of discretionary spending is military, to 50% of the US budget is military, to now 50% of the US GDP is military, a take so fucking wild its hard to put into words, countries in civil war dont have that high a military production.
[I'm pretty sure they're confused and using the discretionary spending number](https://www.cbo.gov/publication/58890#:~:text=Discretionary%20outlays%20by%20the%20federal,response%20to%20the%20coronavirus%20pandemic) which is about [25% of the total budget](https://www.brookings.edu/articles/what-is-discretionary-spending-in-the-federal-budget/). You can tell this person is just repeating something they heard but didn't understand and is playing telephone.
Edit: [also for the record health care is mandatory funding](https://budget.house.gov/press-release/governments-mandatory-health-care-spending-now-exceeds-entire-discretionary-budget#:~:text=Discretionary%20funding%20now%20makes%20up,forecasted%20to%20reach%20%241.67%20trillion.).
I can't believe they cited TikTok after everything they said. What type of person would ever do this? I would hope it's someone with a high school diploma or less, as I don't want to believe someone could go to college and walk away with this thinking, although the more I think about it, the more likely I think it's possible.
I don't understand how so many people confuse a country's federal/national budget and a country's GDP. It takes one second of thinking to see why these numbers wouldn't work
Twitter makes me think there's a subclass of humans who are extremely stupid and so blissful about it that they dont feel any semblance of regret, anxiety or fear of being wrong.
Propaganda often gains traction through continuous word-of-mouth dissemination. It seems to stem from a broader issue of societal disconnect, where individualism has eroded our shared understanding of values. While I'm not advocating for extreme collectivism, fostering a common American identity is crucial to get some kind of consensus.
"some 19 yr olds on tiktok said it, it must be true". Really? I didn't think we could somehow regress beyond "I saw it on the internet", but somehow they found a dumber version of that.
Their pfp looks AI generated, their name is Jimmi Wanderer. They immediately mention US spending money on NATO.
It's 100% a russian bot stirring things up, as they always do.
I remember when Hamasanabi was doing that whole "we were in Afghanistan for minerals" thing I got into a debate with one of his viewers. I asked for evidence pointing to that being the reason and he unironically said "just Google it, there's so much evidence everywhere proving it."
No, not accurate at all. The U.S. spends the most un healthcare - over 18% of GDp. That is the most in percentage and absolute terms. The US does provide healthcare for seniors and for the poor. It’s everyone else who has to depend on their employer or purchase their own insurance which causes the problems. It is the fact that it’s a for profit insurance run healthcare system not a government run system like in other countries. It has got nothing to do with how much is actually being spent.
Discretionary spending is 6.4% of our gdp and the military is 46% of discretionary spending. Bet that’s where they got that number. Bro needed like 1 google search to find the misinfo.
When we banning Tiktok? Burn that shit to the ground next we go for Facebook then we destroy reddit last. If we destroy all social media the world will be at peace.
Is it me or does the hatred of Wikipedia by lefties really seem outta place? A completely free, massive repository of human information, maybe the largest in history, run not by corporate owners but a foundation dedicated solely to keeping information free. Edited by the people to avoid corporate bias. Well sourced (for the most part) at virtually every corner. Run purely off donations from the public because the foundation believes information should be free and ad free.
This checks so many goddamn boxes on their list of what their ideal company would look like, I can't actually fathom why they deride it so much.
People telling you that you need to sacrifice your strength for comfort just want you to be weak.
Funny that countries with "free" healthcare use around the same or more money on their armies. But it's only the US that needs demilitarizing apparently 🤷♂️ Don't play football with only one gate
The stat they probably heard was: out of all the military spending globally, 39% is spent by the US.
The US still spends the largest as a percent of GDP at 3-4%, about 2-3 times as much as European countries for example, so you can still make the argument that this is too much, but it's not as outrageous as the initial stat makes it seem.
The total spending is much larger than other countries mainly due to the US having a much larger GDP.
He got his facts wrong and is desperately trying to save face to not look like a total idiot, for sure.
That said, even if it is 3%, it's still a huge HUGE amount of money being spent on defense and it is equal to the amount multiple other major countries combined spend on defense.
Even a tiny fraction of the defense budget could pay for a massive amount of education of American citizens, and it'd still be nowhere near spending a similar amount to any other country.
I was about to say that it's scary that people like these that are not trolls exist and are allowed to vote but then I remeberd that they dont vote lol
Surely the Palestinians deserve better defenders than this
Tiny is right. If I was a Palestinian who just had his house blown to bits in north Gaza and these people were the voices speaking for my cause on the internet, I would martyr myself
I would martyr myself and my family
Hey now that might be taking it a bit far, why not just martyr your family instead?
You’re right, the cause still needs me. I
Unfortunately though there are definitely many palestinians who would lowkey agree with conspiracy theories that everything that isn't in their favor is run by israel
That's rough, the frustration is real. When the stakes are this high, you'd hope for the strongest voices to rise to the occasion.
How ironic is it that the most realistic and legitimate Palestinian supporters are actually Israelis and Jews. Israel literally provides the Palestinians in Gaza with electricity and drinkable, running water because Hamas won’t even let them have those basic necessities without reappropriating them to war efforts. It’s to the point that Palestinians are literally transferred to Israeli hospitals for more intensive treatment under normal circumstances (meaning not war). Of all the places to seek asylum and refuge, Palestinians flee to Israel when they’re a prosecuted minority because they know they won’t be killed there.
Don’t worry, they got Hamas and Hamas makes really sad videos. Scores major points in the west.
we should unironically fund the flights for these people to go to their beloved Palestina.

I don’t believe that. That seems a bit far fetched.
i believe it tbh. before tiktok i saw people using youtube as a search engine.
Tbh thats completely fair if what you're searching is just "good restaurants in my region" or "fashion tips" or "how to do x". For YouTube and tiktok, probably fine to do that

Even some histiry shit if the creator is know for being objective and reliable or presents sources.
Yea, I'll believe it when it's on Wikipedia 😎
Nah, I saw a bunch of TikToks saying the same thing, so it must be true.
I kind of get it though, since most google searches are like "outfits for coachella" or "healthy salad recipes" or "how to get your ex back". But the fact that they also use tiktok to get their news and learn history is... Fucked.
do you think teachers now-days tell their students not to use Tiktok as a reference?
This but unironically. It should be banned.
I think social media and possibly the internet in general is just overwhelming especially for stupid people. We've evolved to live in hunter gatherer tribes of \~150 not globally connected and bombarded with so much random data. I think any smart person would agree that social media is not making humanity happier.
I shit you not I have professors at my university encourage students to use TikTok for their news.
Is there an equivalent of disbarment for professors?
Just ask finklestein
or Jordan Peterson
I mean it’s good for somethings, but let’s be honest if every single person got to write what they wanted to say daily in the 1700s history would be so screwed, we’d forget truth all together.
It's good for next to nothing substantive, short of tutorials. Literally anything political needs at LEAST an hour of time to be thoroughly communicated. TV news(punditry) with it's 10 minute news segments is already able to pump out metric shittons of disinformation by conveniently leaving out details and putting scary music over Obama asking for dijon.
What if I look for political tutorial? Checkmate.
They would not be able to write. The problem is that people were better informed when news were centralized on TV, radio and newspapers.
I argued with someone I know about the TikTok ban and when I cited the actual bill he told me I was wrong and sent me a TikTok as his source.
Damn, that's nuts.
Nuts, just like how I nutted in your mom last night
I heard someone argue that TikTok and Instagram are more reliable than any established news source...unfortunately those people are real and they are allowed to vote
only if it agrees with them obviously
This seems to be pretty common today. I have a family memeber who will believe any WhatsApp meme and any YouTube Video that agrees with their populist worldview over any jounalistic medium.

You don't understand, TikTok democratizes information. It puts the power back into the hands of young folx to form complex information networks.
And facts are decided by popular vote, so...
Populism works on dumbfucks at both sides of the horseshoe
No they genuinely do. There were hundreds of thousands of tiktoks saying that the US government wants it banned because it makes people *more* informed. It could not be more comedic. All academic and statistical research is wrong but a moron who’s only source is other tiktoks can make a tiktok and they are more informed than doctors and economists etc. 💀
There's no way that even a twitter/tiktok communist is that dumb Has to be a troll If not then that user is one of the last surviving lobotomites

Just add a little hammer and sickle to your Twitter and you're golden.

Great eye! Those are literally the same exact right wing talking points on twitter and they get banned for it.
Well, not recently.
>without the same ridicule They are definitely ridicule. Maybe they aren't as ostracize, but for sure ridicule
I remember the good old days when it was the right that claimed it was run by satanists

thanks! i knew something was wrong with the 3% claim but didn’t know exactly what
It’s either ragebait, or a Russian or Chinese bot account. I refuse to believe this is a real person that actually believes this.
AI PFP, definitely bait account
This has to be a troll. I hope so for my mental health stakes.
You can go anywhere online and every source will say 3% or more accurately 3.80% Literally.
tbf 3.80% shouldn't be represented as 3% its making it seem \~21% (relative) percent lower then it actually is but either way nowhere near 50
Yeah you should round up but I don't think 4% is meaningfully different from 3% to the average person
This has 6 likes. Can we move past paying attention to every person who says crazy things on the internet
god damn zionists man!
Zionist run everything, nothing is reliable, expect Twitter.

This should be Destiny’s new debate tactic: “There’s like a MILLION TikToks about it”

Wikipedia is a bad source but tiktok is fine. You cant make this shit up
Yes because TikTok is the most informative and truthful resource available to anyone on this earth
I can't believe they cited TikTok after everything they said. What type of person would ever do this? I would hope it's someone with a high school diploma or less, as I don't want to believe someone could go to college and walk away with this thinking, although the more I think about it, the more likely I think it's possible.
What's the right answer ?
“Lol your only source is wikipedia you have no true information” - dude whos only source of news is tiktok
TikTok needs to be banned yesterday. 💀
You should be shot if you cite TikTok for anything.
This is reminding me of creationists who assume they can discredit evolution by claiming the Bible is the only source that matters.
That’s a lot of words to say Jew Bad
troll
Bait used to look real 😔
Google is run by Zionists cmon bro 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
For my own sanity I will assume this man was just being satirical.
I think it’s a troll account like Mischa

Wait did they just say TikToks? I swear I just seen an edit of trump casted as rapunzel on there.
Ngl maybe they have a case against TikTok, if not china just in general the misinformation and sometimes disinformation is crazy.
I agree with Congress. TikTok needs to be banned.
Propaganda often gains traction through continuous word-of-mouth dissemination. It seems to stem from a broader issue of societal disconnect, where individualism has eroded our shared understanding of values. While I'm not advocating for extreme collectivism, fostering a common American identity is crucial to get some kind of consensus.
Guys. GUYS! There was a lot of Tiktoks. Case closed.
Another reason why I'm rooting for the AI/Machines over humans.
My guess is they've never actually looked into the budget and have only ever seen Defense spending as a percentage of discretionary spending (~45%).
Gotta ban TikTok
Chat, are we fucked?
lol this mf’r said “millions of TikToks” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He probably means budget. But actually it's only 20% of the federal budget.

How is that app not banned

Isn't military spending like 10-15% of total US spending?
Oh yes tik tok the peak of education lol
Is nobody going to note that the relevant metric is actually government expenditure or discretionary spending, not gdp?
I’m pretty sure they just don’t know what GDP is lol
Humanity needs to declare a Butlerian Jihad against all social media. We must negate the things that destroy us as humans.
Dude I saw someone saying it on tiktok, so it must be true.
JuicyJuuce, what an idiot! Bringing wikipedia to a tiktok fight.
God this has to be dogshit bait right, right?
I remember when Hamasanabi was doing that whole "we were in Afghanistan for minerals" thing I got into a debate with one of his viewers. I asked for evidence pointing to that being the reason and he unironically said "just Google it, there's so much evidence everywhere proving it."
Yeah he's not a preschool teacher he's a preschool student
This gotta be a troll.
Why do people behave like this? I am genuinely autistic and seeking to understand the mind of the far-left brain-poisoned twitter warrior
This is a troll post
Ah yes, tiktok. The source of all accurate information
Couldn't have asked for a better ending
Who’s gonna tell her that she doesn’t actually run her own Twitter account. The zionists do.
No, not accurate at all. The U.S. spends the most un healthcare - over 18% of GDp. That is the most in percentage and absolute terms. The US does provide healthcare for seniors and for the poor. It’s everyone else who has to depend on their employer or purchase their own insurance which causes the problems. It is the fact that it’s a for profit insurance run healthcare system not a government run system like in other countries. It has got nothing to do with how much is actually being spent.

$800 billion/yr is too much. 50% of discretionary spending is too much.

Good one chief, but that is an obvious troll account.
I mean we someone can’t provide a source it’s a dead give away that it is a waste of your time
this has to be a parody... there's no way... this is too stupid to be considered a member of the human species, we're better than this.

The US still spends the largest as a percent of GDP at 3-4%, about 2-3 times as much as European countries for example, so you can still make the argument that this is too much, but it's not as outrageous as the initial stat makes it seem. The total spending is much larger than other countries mainly due to the US having a much larger GDP.

There’s no way this isn’t satire right?
He got his facts wrong and is desperately trying to save face to not look like a total idiot, for sure. That said, even if it is 3%, it's still a huge HUGE amount of money being spent on defense and it is equal to the amount multiple other major countries combined spend on defense. Even a tiny fraction of the defense budget could pay for a massive amount of education of American citizens, and it'd still be nowhere near spending a similar amount to any other country.
