      In what way is this a TikTok apologetics post? It’s calling out the governments inability to close tax loopholes for billionaires. No one gives a fuck about TikTok. Or are we just moving on about the billionaires tax evasion?

      Two things can be true

      It can be nakedly hypocritical, this Kabuki theater of oh woe is me it’s so difficult to do anything of substance to reign in these companies, it’s just politically very tricky what with the free market and all-- oh it’s Chinese and they don’t give me money? Fuck 'em get 'em out of here, 50-0, fuckin ban it.

      And at the same time Tiktok can also be legitimately a much more dangerous company than Facebook or Lehman Brothers or whatever, even as regular-criminal dangerous as those two and the rest of the bunch are.
