    Remember when Ilhan Omar said that support for Israel was “all about the Benjamins” and you had two sides equally frothing with rage at her antisemitism but they couldn’t agree which antisemitism it was: was it the money trope? Jewish bankers? Or just the name Benjamin. Is it a Netanyahu thing? Every motherfucking interpretation of what she said except “it’s about the money.”

    The liberal press should be used exclusively to wipe hemorrhoidic shit off baboon asses.

    He also says that Israel’s base of support in the US is done with money. He briefly mentions that drones are the modern weapon of war. Then he says that social media is a weapon for Israel and TikTok is the most important platform, with the second being X/Twitter. He calls Elon his friend.

    If any other person said that Israel’s base of support is made by money, Israel would be saying that person is Hamas. The video was uploaded by a right wing influencer named Debra Lea.

    An interesting thing to notice is that Netanyahu says that Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens are the “woke right”. He uses “woke” as a pejorative to mean people who call themselves anti-Israel. I’ve seen a few Zionists accounts use this term for a few months now.

        It does seem like that. Maybe they expect it to go the way of Myspace post sale. So either let the US hamstring the platform and lose all the value or cash out and leave someone else holding the bag. I do hope post sale it becomes irrelevant. Tbh it’s already seeming more and more like Facebook and starting to cater to the same user base. Most lefties or libs seem to be going to bluesky, which is hilarious, because these are the twitter people basically that let twitter turn into X. It’s like the cycle continues. Lefty libs get on a platform and right wingers chase them. They leave for a new platform and the cycle resets

    It’s probably a really good time to remove the likes and favs in your TikTok account before deleting the thing.

    Between the clear messaging that it’s going to be weaponized and Trump’s directive to go after lefties, TikTok is a danger zone.

      You can also export all of that information as plaintext backup files. That way you can still get to the videos anonymously later, if you want to.
