It's one of the only platforms that doesn't actively suppress left wing views with its algorithm.

I'd be fine with EU style regulations on social media, or depending on how it's written, a more broader ban of social media in general. But banning tiktok only will do nothing to address the concerns you raised. Instead it just funnels people into social media ecosystems that greatly favor right wing sentiment and allow easy access for the 3 letter agencies.

It's about maintaining the ability to manufacturer consent. Tiktok presents a hurdle to that.

It’s about forcing all students into public school when they aren’t all on the same level when it comes to intelligence or capability to learn

Huh? Don't most public schools offer various levels of the same subject for this reason? Like remedial, honors, AP, etc. In what way is this problem solved by private schools? Unless you're implying that home schooling solves this problem, which yeah sure if one of the parents works full time teaching their children and also has a high level of education themself as well as the relevant skills. Not something that can actually be scaled out across the country. And history has shown that homeschooling typically leads to inferior education.

The schools that spend the least per student have the best scores

Yeah that doesn't sound right at all. You got a source?

You can do that with GPL. It prevents massive corporations from essentially leaving off your hard work but can still be free value to everyone else.

They're not allowing aid in, hence the famine in Northern Gaza.

It's a genocide.

No one is saying it will. Lots of folks in leftist spaces advocate for getting in the streets, unionizing your workplace, and organizing in socialist organizations. If you're a socialist, it's time to find a socialist organization to join. Can't find any local chapters? Start your own. Don't like any local organizations? Join one and work to improve it.

the most moral army in the world

I am so fucking sick and tired of my tax dollars going to these fascist terrorists.

Fucking hell, didn't know about that. Someone should drag that fucking piece of shit into Lake Michigan.

At least there's the Haymarket Memorial out in Forest Park.

Being Nazis wasn't a deal breaker for America. Nazis were filling out the Madison square garden at the time.

I mean, I sort of did, but only because OP mentioned the series by name giving me something to google. Before seeing the comment I had no clue this was referencing an anime.

Do I have to start watching anime so that I don't become a cultural hermit?

I hate Texas' politics, but as a big boy from the Midwest, I have to give your state respect for it's food. Good food in large portions, what more could I ask for?
