The man explaining essentially that America is going to start suffering retaliatory terrorist attacks and that their allies aren't going to help them, only for the majority of comments to be complaints over the manner in which this information is delivered is certainly something to behold.
Fun fact: Everybody ignored the obvious trajectory of where the US was heading until after the 2016 election. In a normal country the equivalent of NSA would have hauled Trump in for having the document boxes in his bathroom. Not to mention when it was known that he was a Russian asset he would have been hauled in... so in like 2009 at the latest.
But no, in the US you get posts like this after-the-fact.
In South Africa we elected a guy to President to prevent him from being convicted for rape. Him and his buddies also managed to steal literally a third of the countrys GDP. (245 billion USD)
His party finally kicked him out, he formed a new one and still has support.
Bibi most likely told Trump he was smart, handsome and can get real estate deals in Iran and Gaza. Then he snail-mailed Trump some McDonalds coupons and voila: WW3. There is no policy, no security concern, and no intel folks who could send whistle blower reports to Congress. There is NOTHING Trump cares about BESIDES his own self enrichment. Greenland, Venezuela, Gaza, Cuba, Iran all for his own real estate deals. WHY is Kushner at the table with Iran? Or any table? Who is auditing him at all?
I appreciated this because I refuse to wade through the loud AF eyerollable AI-laden morass that is Tik Tok. I legitimately wonder why, if you are so annoyed by it, you don't just... downvote and hit next? Like there is way more annoying or questionable content on imgur, I'm sure.
Hear me out. If Putin had managed to put an asset behind the Resolute Desk, what could that agent do that was more destructive than what Trump and his regime are doing? What would they do differently?I suggest that this is deliberate demolition. What nation benefits the most from this implosion into uncontrolled WWIII? At this point, if Putin can just ride this out, his propaganda and manipulation campaigns successfully cause his enemies to destroy themselves. I remind you that the US does not-
have a defense against hypersonic ICBM's, and whatever secret files we had, Trump and Musk have taken - and who knows what has been done with that information.
These are done this way so she can re-use the exact same video of herself multiple times. The pointing up is in case she decides to use a video next time that will be displayed above her. It's the most efficient way to steal other people's content.
Can we PLEASE stop sharing video of people REACTING WITHOUT ADDING LITERALLY ANYTHING AT ALL? Why not record your wall while you play this video on a laptop in the next room? WHAT THE HELL IS THE POINT? Are you trying to bury your sources in six layers of obfuscation? No, this is the best you got because you scroll shit like this instead of being subscribed to and paying attention to valuable PRIMARY SOURCES. Stop sharing face reaction pointing BULLSHIT, people!
Could I bug you for this report? I got a... Well let's call this guy a "friend" who is configured and assist understand that this government doesn't know what they are doing, and this may help permit the seed of doubt to help get him out of that headspace.
If this lady (I don' t know her) has some kind of audience that follows her on the regular, she can make them get the information with that. Very well known internet personalities can enhance messages like that by stapling their face on the message. If the "presenter" is not well known, it's the other wey round. They leach importance off a message by putting her face on it. If you don't know her (like me), she's just the optical version of a laughing track.
ah yes, the only two possible explanations as dictated by you, king of social media.
no possible way she’s just an activist who feels better spreading information, right?
no possible way she’s in an area where her friends would never listen to a former CIA podcast but would watch the 15 seconds she snagged, right?
and YOU made the conversation about her instead of the content. you had every right to just swipe away or keep scrolling, but didn’t. who’s the real mooch?
ya why? CUZ EASY LOW EFFORT TO STEAL ANOTHER WORK AND EARN THEM SWEET, SWEET, FAKE INTERNET POINTS. THat is why. That is the whole god damn point of Tictok. POST THE ORIGINAL DAMN CONTENT U THIEVES. Fucking posers sitting there pointing at empty space and making facial expressions feeling like they are 'content creators.'
Captions get OCRd and then this would get hidden too.
How entitled and lazy are we? If this interests you, go learn more. It’s your responsibility to educate yourself, not a content creators failure because it wasn’t spoon fed the way you wanted it.
JFC we are pathetic. This is EXACTLY why Fox News worked. Sack up and take some accountability people.
I refuse to watch these "people raising eyebrows at quotes". Much like I refuse to watch the "talking to yourself in a different character" shorts that are prevalent.
Nah, it's perfectly fine to hate algorithm fodder. Drawing the line on multi character skits is a bit of a choice, but otherwise it's just like hating AI voice or tiktoc music overlays
AND it’s perfectly fine for us to think someone hating algorithm fodder is being an elitist prick. You don’t get to dictate right and wrong on behalf of anyone but yourself. Draw your line wherever you want but get fucked with the idea that it has to be my line too.
"Talking to yourself in different character"? Do you mean the skits where people act out [usually hypothetical] conversations alone? What's wrong with those as a concept? Some of them are funny, and the acting out often adds a humorous element in and of itself. i wouldn't compare those at all to these where people just show facial expressions to the camera. I've seen some of these that are interesting or funny, but most are not.
These are mainly for additional reach and to get around suppression algorithms. It look like a different video because it is a different video but it maintains the important part, the information.

Or they flood the market with so many disreputable sources and mainstream news is already owned. The truth is buried because it looks like another lie.
