You'll Smash Your Kid's Smartphone After Reading This

Some of us — weren't even half-joking when we said that if 9/11/2001 had been 9/11/2023, thousands or millions of Americans would take to the streets in support of al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden.

...

Shortly after the 9/11 attacks that left nearly 3,000 dead and permanently altered the New York City skyline, bin Laden wrote his Letter to America, justifying his murderous act of terrorism, in part because of our "support to the oppressive Israelis in their occupation of our Palestine."

...

Thousands of young Americans took to TikTok to express how bin Laden's words have opened their eyes.

...

One of TikTok's jobs is to provide sensitive data to its Communist Chinese parent company, ByteDance. That's why India banned the app completely and why the U.S. federal government and the New York state government have banned employees from having TikTok on their phones. "China’s Communist Party had 'supreme access' to all data held by TikTok’s parent company Bytedance, including on servers in the United States,

...

Arguably worse is TikTok's algorithm.

...

The American algorithm takes the fringes of society and parades them around as the new normal. All those self-loathing, America-hating, purple-haired, over-pierced weirdos whose videos I post each week on Insanity Wrap promote themselves on TikTok because TikTok promotes them.

TikTok promotes the bin Laden letter people, who will make their own bin Laden letter videos which TikTok will then also promote. Jewish Insider editor-in-chief Josh Kraushaar reminded his readers of the "scary reality" that "TikTok is the top 'news' source for 18-29-year-olds."

Thanks in part to TikTok, a segment of American youth is moving very quickly from a lame moral equivalence between Israel and Hamas to thinking bin Laden was right to murder 3,000 people on 9/11.

Ban TikTok and ban it now.

Then ban FB and WhatsApp.

If you’re going to ban Chinese Intel platforms, then ban the American ones also.

Why do you think Google became the empire it is? https://qz.com/1145669/googles-true-origin-partly-lies-in-cia-and-nsa-research-grants-for-mass-surveillance

You can’t point the finger at the Chinese when they are simply doing what we are and in fact —following— our lead.


The real problems:

At some point in history, instead of government actively protecting people’s privacy rights, they became the worst culprit.

Instead of government ensuring a free and competitive market, they actively chose the winners and losers and caused big tech to be created (a few oligopolies that own and control everything and work with government).

She doesn’t go to the mall. She’s 19, so if she’s determined to find trouble she will, but I am not providing it. Her friends aren’t really much of a danger anyway.

I used to use the World Trade Center as a landmark when flying over the East Coast.

And I once stayed at a hotel in the World Trade Center when attending a scientific conference.

Bin Laden and his evil crew stole that from me, and killed thousands of people as well.

Now we have hordes of feckless youths who agree with Bin Laden and Hamas, and support all the evil that they have done!

They need reeducation, and the only one who wants to do that is Donald Trump!!

A bunch of hippies in a garage makes a much cooler story.

I usually consider the Tic Tokers as a bunch of morons who rely on “influencers” to guide them from cradle to grave. Real losers.

Thing is, assuming you’re evaluation is exactly right, it is precisely because they are as you describe that makes them exceedingly dangerous. These are the fledging barbarians who grow up to be Hamas-like terrorists. And it may not be long before they’re on our doorstep.

And the worst part is we took God out of the schools.

Worse than that, God is being removed from homes.

I’ve always said that if Bin Laden had released an interview where he let his hair down and wore a black leather jacket, every girl under 30 and half the boys would have converted to Islam on the spot. I’m only grateful he didn’t know how to work the Che Guevara image. Young people are stupid.

If you kids think Bin Laden made some good points, wait'll I tell you about a vegetarian former art student with an ironic mustache whose impassioned manifesto about the Zionist oppression of his people sparked a worldwide movement— David Burge (@iowahawkblog) November 16, 2023

The anti-Jewish crowd is already chanting “Hitler was right.”
