(TikTok screencap)

Person in a locker room looking into the camera with the caption “ mamdani made taylor swift pay taxes in nyc and now the budget is balanced and there's universal childcare and this is why "but taylor donates to food pantries" will never be good enough. billionaires not paying their taxes is WHY working class people are reliant on food pantries, dumb dumb.”

    Now watch me TikTok it further by pasting half of my blurred, blotchy head in the image so that I can point repeatedly in the general direction of the video I want you to see. Maybe even point at my ear once or twice to say, "Lishhun too, bruh.."

    I hate that platform so much. I swear most people are operating on half-spent watch batteries nowadays and have just come to accept this crap as passable content.

    I remember at school we weren't allowed to use Wikipedia, and further "it hurt your ability to actually research issues".

    Or the internet in general not having to find answers in books.

    The next thing is always the boogyman huh

    I remember being told "anyone can edit wikipedia" as the reason it wasn't allowed. It wasnt a verifiable source. But at least for the most part, they try to remain factual.

    Tiktok is pushing a specific agenda with their algorithm and trying to drive engagement and addiction. They don't care if what gets put on their platform is true at all.
