EARLY ACCESS: The Real Reason The US Wants To Ban TikTok
Added 2024-04-04 01:02:12 +0000 UTCHowdy, friends! Odds are you're at least somewhat familiar with TikTok. By some metrics, it's the most popular app in the world - fully one third of all mobile users engage with TikTok content. So why would the US government, which already has a historically low approval rating, want to ban it? Let's take a look at what (or who) is behind the push to ban TikTok. Hope you enjoy!

keep up the good work. I love how you are able to elegantly describe the notion on your work.

2024-04-12 21:00:52 +0000 UTCYou were a big part of my radicalization and I thank you forever for that. I joined the RCA (Revolutionary Communist of America) and it has changed my life ✊

2024-04-12 17:52:47 +0000 UTCThis video expressed exactly what I have been trying to tell my friends. It's a form of imperialism. I appreciate your videos and the approach you take to educating people. It's not condescending and it doesn't feel like you have to read the entirety of Marx's Capital to understand. (Although some parts are a good read especially the middle half of vol 1). Thanks again. I joined your patreon. Sorry it took me so long. ADHD...

2024-04-08 17:42:20 +0000 UTCGreat episode! I joined later than I should but hope it will help. What you are saying is dangerous to those who count on apathy and ignorance. You episodes are no-nonsense and ring a painful note of truth. Keep it up. You will not be rewarded by the machine and only the voice of the many will support you!

2024-04-07 21:49:51 +0000 UTCJust subscribed to my first Patreon as I really like your work and although it’s only at $1 (3.85 AUD) I’m already thinking of upping it to $5 ($9.50) once I see how my budget is. Part time worker, life long unionist and Communist Party of Australia member . There needs to be a strong left voice on YouTube that isn’t liberal.

2024-04-06 02:02:41 +0000 UTCI consider myself a conservative, but I am intrigued by your videos and am starting to agree with a lot of them. There seems to be a lot more to these issues that I haven't seen before.

2024-04-06 01:37:59 +0000 UTCChinese children, Russian children and -sadly - some American children are also indoctrinated and taught to oppose (hate) America. The last group is taught to hate certain Americans because they are "anti real America". There are probably a lot more. What makes this weird is that it is the teachers 'teaching' this stuff. Legitimate teachers from their respective governments. Anyone know of a sociologist / cultural anthropologist who specializes in education?

2024-04-04 23:15:34 +0000 UTCThink to yourself "wouldn't it be better if those individuals realized they had a better chance of success if they never entered a contest on television?" Seriously, we know the winners of the first two seasons 20+ years ago but since then?
Ivan A
2024-04-04 15:56:08 +0000 UTCNice Job. (upgraded my tier..) If you ever wonder what a good example of capitalists "controlling the means of production" consider that phrase the next time you watch a cooking or singing competition on television.

Ross Clark
2024-04-04 10:47:19 +0000 UTCIt's incredible how responsive Congress is to donors/bribers. AIPAC control over US politics is alarming; of course, what I just said is probably considered “anti-Semitic,” which it isn't, and this has lost its meaning. The reality of this country is nothing like the propaganda we have been fed as we grew up. It's nothing but lies. It's incredible how real problems like climate change, universal healthcare, affordable housing, and affordable life are non-issues in the view of our political establishment. Also the other big problem which is also expressed in the Palestinian genocide is our military-industrial complex, which profits off of war and the corporate welfare state.
Ed Boutros
2024-04-04 10:16:35 +0000 UTCCan this channel go up on Twitch and collect Amazon Prime member subscriptions? Other known as Bezos bucks. Platform diversity could help this channel, which adds complications but could bring more people to the cause.
Ed Boutros
2024-04-04 09:52:47 +0000 UTCDo not blame yourself for actions of others. You are already doing more than most by supporting content that reaches thousands of people. You cant light someone elses torch if your own light is drowning in shadows.

2024-04-04 06:11:09 +0000 UTCEverytime I'm confronted with such blatant, real world effects of imperialist ideology, I have Hakim and Yugopnik's words echoing through my head about how knowing and wanting are never enough, it's doing that we need, and I feel like I'm drowning in shame
