Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title.

How the fuck hasn't this bitch not been shot and/or lynched yet. Like unironically if some murderer wanted to get a free kill shed be it since nobody would give a damn.

I need to stop listening to missing enigma and lore lodge while I play games it's causing me to think about murder more than usual.

This headline makes no fucking sense. Did you want to clarify at some point here, or just expect everyone to know the inner workings of TikTok?

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's one crazy bitch that posts awful stuff. Her name is Chaya Raichik.

[–] tacoplease@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Her account is called "Libs of TikTok" .

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

I think every headline dealing with her should mention her name, not her handle.

“Elementary-aged children are now asking questions about sex, gender identity and pronouns and gender presentation,” said Aaron Driver, whose child attends the school, in comments shared by the Libs of TikTok account. “That creates an educational issue, and therefore a parental rights issue”

Aaron driver is a shitty parent

[–] Capable_Coping@piefed.social 43 points 3 days ago (2 children)

"parental rights" is usually just code for instilling bigotry or other abuse

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 days ago

There is no such thing as parental rights.

There are only parental responsibilities.

Those who think they have rights over other human beings(including children) are akin to slave owners.

[–] hume_lemmy@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

They view children as property. So teaching their "property" things like "rights" and "tolerance" is just like... installing Linux on their PCs. It makes it completely unusable to them, especially because they don't like learning.

[–] Lianodel@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 day ago

I always like to bring up that the Republican Party of Texas, I think in 2012, made it an explicit part of their platform to oppose teaching critical thinking because it undermines parental authority.

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

100% agree.

[–] VeryVito@lemmy.world 45 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 33 points 3 days ago

Both in fact

[–] jtrek@startrek.website 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Conservatives are such a heady mix of stupid and dishonest.

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

And don't forget the secret ingredient: malice.

[–] Custard@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I guarantee you those kids would be asking anyway. Do Americans not have sex ed in elementary school?

[–] nickiwest@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Sex Ed varies by state and sometimes by school district. In elementary school, it's frequently limited to "good touch, bad touch"-type lessons.

It's not uncommon for parents to need to "opt in" for their kids to be included in the lessons at all ages. Basically, they have to approve of letting their kids learn about sexual health.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Doesn't really happen until middle school here. I had a Health class in 5th grade that was basically like "your body is going to change, please take showers every day, and use this stuff called deodorant."

Actual sex-ed wasn't until 7th grade, and even then, it was basically "Boys, here is all the horrible stuff that will happen to your dick if you get an STD. Girls, the urge to have sex will turn you into worthless husks, also, here's some horrible shit that can happen to your pussy."

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago

"Also draw and diagram these things."

Lol the only time I was ever given an A for drawing a dick on a paper. 😂

Indeed, the MAGA fucknuts are making their push.

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 106 points 3 days ago (4 children)

What a confusing headline. I don't think most reasonable people would know or assume that 'Libs of Tiktok' is a conservative hate group.

[–] generic_computers@lemmy.zip 56 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Less of a group and more just a cunt named Chaya Raichik.

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 34 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah I don't understand why the media doesn't name her.

Oh wait maybe I do...

[–] ChunkMcHorkle@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

Yep. It's rich given that the article says she "strongly objected" when WaPo publicly identified her as the founder behind the Libs of TikTok account in 2022. Just like all bullies, she can't bear even a fraction of what she dishes out on the regular.

It’s one of those iykyk things. I detest TikTok and refuse to use it (and short form brainrot video bullshit in general), but I’ve been aware of it as a hard-right channel/user/whatever for a while now.

[–] SaltySalamander@fedia.io 17 points 3 days ago (15 children)

When's the last time you ever heard a liberal refer to themselves as a "lib"?

Precisely the point. It's a literal false flag.

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 65 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] Pavidus@lemmy.world 27 points 3 days ago

Can confirm. I know someone who lost their career over this bitch.

[–] Blibly@lemmy.world 56 points 3 days ago (5 children)

I guess stochastic terrorism just isn't a crime? She's been doing this targeted harassment for years. Our country is failing partly because the law just isn't enforced on anyone like this. The fuck is going on?

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 44 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I guess stochastic terrorism just isn’t a crime?

It's only terrorism when it comes from the terrorist region of Afghanistan.

When a Zionist does it, it's Sparkling Free Speech.

She's so stupid. Watch that interview by Taylor Lorenz if you don't believe she's dumb as bricks

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

She's a far right propagandist against queer and liberal people despite being an American Jewish woman. I don't know how much dumber I can be convinced she is unless she regularly forgets how to breathe

Note to confused readers: pictured is former real estate agent Chaya Raichik that looks exactly like a former real estate agent and operates conservative shithole "libs of Tik tok", sending bomb threats and hate and serving no purpose but evil itself.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 37 points 3 days ago

JFC. Chaya Raichik is so gross.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 1 points 1 day ago

Keeping it classy, as usual

[–] treehugger6@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

What is wrong with this bitch?

[–] Ashenlux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 3 days ago

Oh my god, she is still around? I haven't heard about her in a while. Looks like they are trying to drum up more trans hate again. She is just a propaganda pusher.

[–] Tiral@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Can we please just go back to the 90s/2000s FML.

[–] Wataba@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

Drop dead Chaya. Stupid cunt.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I'm so glad TikTok isn't owned by those nefarious censorship loving foreigners anymore.
