And I’m genuinely hurt by this.
Someone in a tiktok comment section was talking about anarchists hiding cultural-conservatives but because tiktok comments are limited I didn’t really understand what they were talking about so I asked if there was a book or article I could read to learn more about this particular event. They then stated “do anarchist sock puppets read books now?” And I feel like shit. I don’t know what I said to provoke this hostility.
I know I’m overly sensitive but I actually am tearing up because of this. I hate the thought of being perceived as an enemy. I don’t know what to say to let them know I’m not a sock puppet…
Their comments mentioned something about the Chinese communists and the IWW.
I’m in the same boat, it’s why I seldom reply to any tweets or make comments on tiktok. All I ever do now is like and repost. Out of the maybe five total comments I’ve made on tiktok I’ve been faced with bad faith all the time. Social media definitely puts people on edge and I’m also a victim of this; it’s one of the top 3 reasons why I engage so little online, unless it’s here.
