No why do you think Tiffany Griner was freed Nike Town and Chinese Food Chop Suey commerce in US it's no coincidence China hasn't attacked Taiwan we trade with China and Singapore and Philippines and Japan cell phones and Laptop and Toyota

Bruce Lee wasn't Japanese eventhough all of them are Mongolian even Arabs and Latinos cone from. Asia they just don't have slanted eyes bur some Latinos do have slanted eyes and so do Samoans Asian came from Light skin Egypt Blks and Hebrew Queens

They said Jesus made us God made blks and Jesus since he was a Hebrew made white race

I wear a 12 gym shoe but have to get a 14 because Chinese shoes are smaller than American same with jerseys you have to get them bigger

We never went to Nuke war China over Vietnam because we had Bruce Lee whom protest against Nam
It’s a bad sign when OC makes more sense than most of Atlas on an issue.
This. Honestly, I think TikTok is one of the absolute dumbest websites on the Internet and I never have and never will use it, but with that caveat aside I think it is completely disgusting and extremely disturbing that their is such a “Bipartisan” consensus in favor of banning it. I understand why racist Republicans who are shilling the “New Cold War” narrative over the Yellow Peril/Red Scare “China threat”, and who are vengeful against anything associated with Young Progressives but it is frankly pathetic that half the Democrats (sadly including Biden himself) seem to be willing to join in on this sh**t, due to being scared of being accused of being “ChiCom puppets”.

Sadly, the Republicans are going to absurdly accuse Democrats of being controlled by “Communist” China no matter how much they parrot Republican Yellow Peril/Red Scare “China threat” bullsh**t, despite the fact it was the Republican Richard Nixon who normalized relations with China in 1972, and it was Republican George W Bush who let China into the WTO, thus causing the outsourcing of millions of high-paying Unionized Factory jobs to Chinese Sweatshops which Republicans gleefully cheered on as a wonder of the “Free Market” and “Free Trade” until Trump (who himself has bank accounts in China and made his sh**tty hats, ties, and shoes in Chinese sweatshops) did a 180 in 2016 and started promoting the Yellow Peril/Red Scare “China threat” bullsh**t in order to win gullible Midwesterners (who never got their jobs back as even if the US decouples it’s supply chains from China, they just shift production to Indian sweatshops or have it fully Automated) and create a scary Non-White/Western/Christian “Communist” bogeyman to justify turning the US into a dictatorship, along with the Ironic fact that China is no longer Communist anymore and instead has the same Neoliberal Capitalist economic policy, draconian treatment of minorities, and Authoritarian political system that Republicans want to create in the US using the fear of them.

Finally, if the Democrats (including Biden) go along with this, they will tragically be implementing the same internet censorship policies that China themselves have, be giving Republicans the toolbox they need to censor the internet if they win next year and attempt to turn the US into a Putinist-style dictatorship, will be eliminating a key tool used by Young Progressives to get out the vote, and will cause millions of young voters to sit out of the election and torpedo Biden’s reelection over the US government’s efforts to shut down most social media with this and the “Bipartisan” Section 230 repeal (I will still vote for Biden no matter what because he is the obvious Lesser Evil to any Republican, but many young people I know have said this TikTok ban and the Section 230 repeal will make them sit out in mass), Cry Sad 🤢🤮!

If Biden is foolish enough to sign the RESTRICT ACT into law that will not just ban TikTok to appease Racist Republican Sinophobes, but will usher in full-blown Fascist Censorship that will ironically make the US internet no different then China’s “Great Firewall” by throwing internet users in prison for 20 years for using a VPN to access a website from any country that Xenophobic Rascist boomer Neocon Congresscritters don’t like, that will provide the toolbox for Republicans to transform the US into a Fascist Police State if they win in 2024, then you will see millions of Young Progressives boycott the 2024 election in order to sabotage Biden’s re-election, and even though I will still vote for him as a “Lesser Evil” to any Republican, I can’t blame others for choosing to sit out in protest of Biden pathetically shredding the First Amendment by signing the “Bipartisan” Restrict Act, 🤢🤮!
