TikTok is just a clone of Douyin, the original Chinese app from the same company.

What exactly are you afraid of China doing?

They make all the fucking phones and can do whatever they want doing so. Let's be afraid of one single app on the thing though. China literally got you by the balls and people want to ban them tickling one fucking hair.

Perhaps we should stop trading with them or implement tariffs on their cheap piles of shit. :P

Honestly, the real issue with China is they own like half a million acres of American soil or something like that. Would much rather we not allow a foreign adversary to buy up our land than worry about a spyware app.

Do you know how much the Saudis own? Unlike China they have actually committed terrorism in this country and they are an “ally”. I don’t care about China no matter how much the US government wants me to.

Yes, and get the Saudi's out as well. Some believe that tragedy in September was actually a Mossad operation. Talk about a rabbit hole.

Saudi Arabia and Pakistan for sure. I’ve never found anything concrete linking Israel to 9/11, but it is notable how aggressively they were spying on US soil prior to the attacks.

One thing I find astounding is the disappearances of all the youtube videos of Larry Silverstein on camera saying they decided to pull tower 7 and demolish it. The narrative quickly became that it fell due to damage, even though it looked like a controlled demolition, which pretty much gives away the fact that bombs were planted early. Because in order to demolish a building, the explosives needed would take days or weeks to plant inside the building.

Building 7 is the only element of the attacks that has ever made me question the physical nature of it all. The rest I think can be plausibly explained and accepted at face value.

The thought of a 747 crashing into a tower and the tower eventually falling has always made sense to me, but the deeper I dive into the construction of it all, I can understand how others think it isn't possible given how strong that structure was. I still think the jet fuel over time did melt a lot of steel and it eventually imploded, but who the fuck knows. So much bullshit is spread to dilute the truth.

Osama probably didn't die either and apparently Hitler lived out his life in Argentina.

I don’t buy the Hitler one. At that stage he was a pretty deranged drug-addled lunatic. Plenty of Nazis escaped to South America and became useful tools for western intelligence, I don’t think Hitler was one. That would have been a tough one to hide too.

He massacred millions of people, started a world war, and lost. I'm pretty confident he offed himself as historically stated.
