Tiktok is very pro-Palestine indeed. Compare that to the fascist shithole that reddit is right now (or always has been), and I’d say the kids are alright.
I believe reddit is infested with astroturfers paid for by governments.
It’s just too manufactured and predictable, at this point.
It’s bewildering to go back there and see so much pro Zionist sentiment.
I recall in 2018 when those IDF soldiers were killing civilians and medics during the border protests. The reaction was totally different. Actual empathy for victims of war crimes and disgust for the perpetrators.
Now it seems when there’s an equally or even more horrific war crime that happens to Palestinians, the response is always “welp they shouldn’t have done october 7th”, 178k upvotes, 3152 awards
I remember a Canadian redditer got shot in the leg by IDF snipers and his colleague who rescued him got killed same day.
At the time his personal account of the events was upvoted and people discussed stuff with him. He was a medic, with a post history about these cool 3D printed field tourniquets. He’d been shot when on duty.
If someone like that posted in Reddit’s current iteration I think the response would be far more hostile.
Some seem to have followed the exodus here.

As is tiktok, Facebook, Twitter and pretty much ebmvery other popular platform.
After all, President Biden recently said he cannot understand why non-Palestinians are so vested in the Palestinian plight, according to another Democracy Now report.
Can you imagine? People having sympathy for Palestinians being slaughtered?! It’s unbelievable and unforgivable, we like our people to be quiet and uninformed, thank you very much. Next thing you know they get concerned over kids being slaughtered in school shootings. The audacity!

And as a side note; he doesn’t understand why people are sympathetic to the Palestinian plight, but he is ultra sympathetic to Israel. And he doesn’t even see the irony in that…
Well he’s right, nobody cared about Iraqis, Afgans, Syrians, Libyans, Vietnamese, Cambodians,… we’ve slaughtered tens of millions with no problems, so what’s different now?
Some of the largest protests the world and specifically America had ever seen took place during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars drawing incredible numbers of people all across the country to protest. Our government got violent putting down a lot of those protests and The News largely just didn’t report it.
It’s just harder to hide shit now, but a lot of people seem to discount how much power the TV had over what people thought was going on outside.
We live in a different era now. Where we aren’t as influenced by the media anymore. They can spin stories all their want, but actually seeing the footage come out of Gaza makes it impossible to ignore or deny. The media is losing its grip and that’s what we’re experiencing.
We can no longer be pacified with “it’s not that bad” or “they are the bad guys anyway, all of them” when you see the footage of four guys being blown up, just like that. When you see the videos of parents burying their babies. When you hear the first person stories the media isn’t bringing you.
That’s what’s different.
What’s different now is the ability of ordinary people to communicate with us without being gatekept by Western media.
Can’t vote for biden after this.
In fact, I don’t see me ever voting for another establishment candidate after what they did to Bernie.
It’s clear both sides are losing options.
It’s clear both sides are losing options.
Like it or not, one of them will be in power after the election.
And one is clearly much worse for both amreicans and the international community.
You (and peoope like you) abstaining from the vote means that Trump’s cultist voters’ ballots will have a greater influence on the outcome of the election.
Not really. You’re just a tribalist succumbing to and perpetuating tribalist rhetoric.
I see it all the time and don’t expect more from you people at this point.
In fact, every time I see it just reinforces my decisions.
If you want my support, run better candidates. If we end up with Trump, that’s the fault of the establishment democrats just like the first time.
No exceptions. Do better.
It’s been coming for a lot longer than the few months since Palestine was back on people’s minds. No, this is all about China vs. US.
Everyone just wants to ban content they don’t like.
How about you all mind your own business, fuck off, and let me watch what I want?
Fascism coming at me from both sides.
No, but it sure is funny watching you useful idiots blame everything except for the Chinese ownership & influence ops on why Tik-tok is about to go bye-bye.
Does Tiktok have a significant amount of pro-Palestinian propaganda? I honestly don’t know, I avoid that thing like a plague.
It has a lot of footage of the ruins and interviews with kids in Gaza. Which in turn has influenced the other kids on Tiktok.
Half of Gaza is under 18, it’s really not surprising there are a lot of them with Tiktok accounts.
How do you feel about Facebook?
@WarmSoda um, the above wasn’t my “feelings,” it was a description of the content of TikTok based on observations.
My description of the content of Facebook is that it skews older, as well as boomers and gen X it has millennials who are fast ageing out of being a youth demographic.
Facebook is more text-heavy and link-based so its users are more likely to repost news and blog articles. Some of the boomers are not very media-savvy. Boomers also seem more likely to support Israel, I would link this to the fact they still consume network news.
Ignore this guy. He’s a plug or just a normal useful idiot.
There’s a trade war going on between the US and China, and it’s important the US has people like him to muddy the waters.
The obsession with TikTok continues.
Are you guys also obsessed with preserving Facebook?It’s not about a stupid cringe dance sharing app. It’s about censorship of social media by vested interest groups.
It’s a good thing China doesn’t censor anything by the West. Or else you’d be calling the kettle black.
that’s not how that phrase works
God forbid I choose my own forms of entertainment rather than letting fascist clobber platforms who have content they didn’t like.
Glad you understand what China does.
Hear me. I don’t give a fuck what anybody fucking does. Capitalists, communist, flat earther it’s all exactly the same. Unless it’s people calling for the violent deaths of a person you can fuck off. China, USA, your mom’s country sized ass.I dont’t care.
It’s fucking fascism brought on from every angle.
It’ll be ok
Found the useful idiot.
