I’ve been watching some of the NCAA tournament games, and there have been a slew of TikTok ads which are embarrassing and insulting. It always features some folksy parent-age Joe/Jane Everyman extolling TikTok’s “commitment to safety”, parental controls, and wholesome community. As if this isn’t the digital crack that has turned an entire generation’s minds into brain-dead mush.

Suddenly, as soon as the crony partnership between the corrupt government and its billionaire pals commandeered ownership, we get this onslaught of aww-shucks bullshit.

“I’m just a simple welding shop owner, and golly gee I love my kids using TikTok.” Fuck right off into the sun, you shitfaced destroyers of society. Sad thing is, I’m sure it works.
