    What a confusing headline. I don’t think most reasonable people would know or assume that ‘Libs of Tiktok’ is a conservative hate group.

      It’s one of those iykyk things. I detest TikTok and refuse to use it (and short form brainrot video bullshit in general), but I’ve been aware of it as a hard-right channel/user/whatever for a while now.

        Yeah I don’t understand why the media doesn’t name her.

        Oh wait maybe I do…

        I don’t know any leftists that refer to themselves as liberal at all, so anyone who does accept the label I wouldn’t know what they call themselves.

    “Elementary-aged children are now asking questions about sex, gender identity and pronouns and gender presentation,” said Aaron Driver, whose child attends the school, in comments shared by the Libs of TikTok account. “That creates an educational issue, and therefore a parental rights issue”

    Aaron driver is a shitty parent

    I guess stochastic terrorism just isn’t a crime? She’s been doing this targeted harassment for years. Our country is failing partly because the law just isn’t enforced on anyone like this. The fuck is going on?

      It’s only terrorism when it comes from the terrorist region of Afghanistan.

      When a Zionist does it, it’s Sparkling Free Speech.

      That shit was hilarious. Popular platform owned by China who didn’t censor anything but presumably anti-China topics, but the US couldn’t censor or suppress any of what they wanted, because they didn’t control it, and they were big mad about it. It was fun while it lasted.
