Why would I ever seem enthused to a discussion with a fascist?

Ah yes, you say we should do multiple times more harm to people who commit self harm, is that your moral philosophy?

As an analogy:

If an American kills an American it's a crime

If a Chinese op kills an American it's warfare

Perhaps stick to killing yourselves instead

YouTube is run by a company within the USA.

That does not compare to a company run by a hostile dictatorship's military.

Nor has it had nearly the same impact: there was a 10 point shift among youth voters in favor of conservatives after TikTok, a complete reversal of a century old trend.

It directly promoted GOP leading up to 2024 and even Trump by name:

Then they did the exact same thing by promoting the AFD in Germany:

This has NOT distanced the USA from Israel; they have never been closer. The GOP are pushing bills that will combine Israel military with the USA's.

Psychological operations and warfare, mainly disinformation campaigns akin to TikTok used to sway political sentiment in favor of authoritarians such as Trump.

Equally bad: extreme data gathering, also akin to tiktok.

Absolutely already a national security concern, but also technically already banned by the bill which banned TikTok.

Question is how hard they need to stroke Trump for it to be unenforceable.

Theres a neat song for this:

Black is my happy colour
I wear it every day
It's black, not a shade of sorrow
I'm gonna, gonna wear
Pink to my funeral, wear pink to my funeral

never useful, always negative value

If that is true then it only just developed in the last 2 years. There was a huge shift to the right in youth voters, largely because TikTok promoted Trump.

Maybe the kids are gonna be alright, after all.

The Chinese Dictatorship has never been stronger.

Russia has also regressed to their former state.
