If Tiktok was so dangerous for consumers like capitalists claim, wouldn’t the free market adjust to this fact and TikTok naturally phase out?

That’s the theory behind the free market that ridiculous capitalists push. So what gives? Getting cold feet? Starting to realize your ideology is absurd?

    US exploitation = “that’s the free market baby!”

    China exploitation = “a threat to American democracy!”

      China can literally mobilized a bunch of people to change the mindset of ordinary Americans. Make them vote for a president that aligns closer to China. Make people think it’s ok to invade Taiwan and ok to claim the south China seas.

      They are close if not already there with the technology. Luckily we have time on our side and the teenagers who are already mobilized are not at the voting age.

      That is a false equivalency. You know it too. If it wasn’t you would have something to back that statement up.

      The bad actions of one party does not justify the bad actions of another.
