I wouldn't be surprised if it was a huge psy-op.

Because guess what the fuck happened to the protests after Kamala lost? Sure, there's some die hards left, and some terrorist actions. But now that Gaza is literally a smoking crater, there's hardly a peep in the states. Just a whole bunch of surprised pikachu faces.

It was a psy-op. The CCP controls what content is trending on Tik Tok, so in the months leading up to the 2024 election, they flooded Tik Tok with videos of Israeli violence against Palestinians and videos of people implicating the Democratic Party in said violence. They wanted Trump to win because they knew that would destabilize the US and allow China to become the world’s #1 superpower.

IMO, it was a pretty transparent psy-op and it’s shameful that we fell for it. Long before the 2024 election, it was clear that Tik Tok was being used as a psychological weapon, as evidenced by the fact that the Chinese version of the app promotes educational content while the American version promotes idiocy. Many of the videos on Tik Tok were also from past Israeli attacks on Gaza but were presented as footage from the current one. It’s bizarre that they would lie about events in Gaza when the truth is horrifying enough, but they did, and we failed to grasp the implications.
