They're not even really buying Teslas. That money comes from consumers. Comes with Capitalism. Once that money stops, so does the Oligarchy. We need to start looking at our lives. Our finances & prioritize what we really need. The best way to resist to hit them where it hurts: the money.

country no longer has savings to fall back on, you find places with a long history and their own more lucrative savings accounts. The Oligarchs are so disconnected with reality they fail to realize that the rich aren't funding their lifestyles. They're not buying off of Amazon or FB Marketplace.

happen when consumers can no longer afford to buy what they're selling? There aren't enough tax breaks to feed the Oligarchs constant hunger for wealth. It's why the administration wants to annex other countries so badly. Once the American consumer can no longer afford to fund their lifestyle & the

as long as the consumer continues to buy into what they are selling. The US is a young country, with not enough personal wealth to sustain the American Oligarch for a long period of time. It needs consumerism to survive. But what happens when the consumer cannot buy into the pot anymore? What will

economic disparity & disenfranchisement exist, it stands on the foundations of capitalism. Capitalism is what makes the American Oligarch wealthy & what will ultimately lead to its downfall. While the American Oligarch will continue to benefit financially with #Trump in office, they will only do so

who are we to stand in judgement of them for it?

meaning for them. And they aren't just going to stand by to watch it crash and burn. For many that train is their only means by which they can reach the outside world. The trainwrecks most likely won't be stopped but if people are willing to try, for the sake of the only community they may have,

trainwreck. There are those who see it coming but choose to turn away. In their minds the trainwrecks are inevitable & they don't want to be around to watch. Then there are those who see it coming & are going to try their best to stop it or at least slow it down. They do this because the train holds

but I think it's important not to admonish people who want to return. Who aren't so willing to give up their only outlet to the world around them without a fight. People can choose to leave & not be judged. The same courtesy should be extended to those who return. Think of it in terms of a

I think we're forgetting it's not easy to just up & move platforms. Unless you already have a built-in following, most other platforms are useless. For a lot of people TT was the only place they could be acknowledged. The only place where their voices are heard. Is there a lot of uncertainty, yes,
January 20, 2025 at 4:06 AM
only chance to have a voice. To be heard. To have community. That's something willing to fight for.
January 20, 2025 at 3:43 AM
I think a lot of people are forgetting that not everyone can just pick up & move platforms. Unless you already have a big enough following to move over, there is no point in going to another platform. As you're just going to be ignored. For many TT was their only outlet to the outside world. Their

can just jump ship & move to another platform. #TikTok is all they got. Don't hate on them for trying to fight for it.
January 20, 2025 at 3:25 AM
so many people #TikTok was their only outlet to the outside world around them. They know shenanigans are afoot. But they're wanting & willing to return because they're not about to surrender the community they made there without fighting for it. Because unlike what a lot of people say, not everyone

return to #TikTok. If you have another platform by which you can participate in social engagement & don't want to return, then by all means do so. But don't ridicule the ones who choose to stay back. Don't belittle people who see something that has meaning for them & are willing to fight for it. For

in the cacophony of others who are fortunate enough to have a mass appeal. At least with #TikTok, you're never ignored. Even the smallest seemingly out of left-field comment that is made, will be found by someone. I think it's immature & honestly out-of-touch to admonish people who are willing to
January 20, 2025 at 3:25 AM
I think a lot of people underestimate the mass appeal of being acknowledged that #TikTok gives to people. Of having a voice that you don't necessarily have anywhere else. Sure you can move to another platform but unless you already have a large following you're ignored. Your voice gets drowned out

As someone who has family in the industry this is nothing but wish fulfillment on Trump's part. Nobody wants or cares what he thinks. Nobody with any real power or influence anyway. The studios are beholden to the investors. The vast amount of whom are more powerful than he is and cannot stand him.

There is something very suspicious about this. Sadly, will not be returning to TT.
