In the end, I feel that this is the work of someone who wished to raise the temperature, make the divisions in America a compounding thing.

This means it's a foreign entity.


In the 70's, the Soviets and their East Bloc allies would support the various left wing terror groups like the IRA, the PLO, Abu Nidal, the Red Army faction, the Red Brigades, Libya, others. They'd do it for a number of reasons.

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest that others would want to follow that model. It's well known that China actively uses TikTok to push the most toxic crap into western societies (and they censor the hell out of that kind of thing at home).

While TikTok has become the most popular app in the rest of the world, a domestic version called Douyin is available to Chinese consumers. The apps are nearly identical — but with one critical difference: users under 14 are required to use Douyin in healthy moderation on “teenage mode.”

Young, impressionable users are limited to 40 minutes a day between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. to ensure they get adequate sleep. Endless zombie-like scrolling is interrupted by mandatory 5-second delays. They’re also only shown specially-selected “inspiring” content.

“The algorithm is vastly different, promoting science, educational and historical content in China while making our citizens watch stupid dance videos with the main goal of making us imbeciles,” Nicolas Chaillan, former Air Force and Space Force Chief Software Officer told the Post.

While American youth are performing hyper-sexualized dances and engaging in absurd viral trends, like the deadly NyQuil Chicken Challenge, their Chinese counterparts are treated to a curated stream of videos promoting patriotism, social cohesion and personal aspirations.
