I’m generally not for the government getting into the banning business, such as all this talk about banning TikTok from American consumption.  It might make everyone feel good, but at this point, it’s not nearly enough.  I think what they do in Florida with age restrictions is the right way for all social media.  The introduction of the internet to kids in puberty has been horrendous, culturally, so they are headed down the right road in Florida by identifying that fundamental use problem.  Strengthen the family; you solve a lot of these problems.  The government is a poor substitute for parental guidance.  But that doesn’t change what TikTok is and China’s intentions with it.  Yes, they are all about propaganda, and TikTok was invented as a social media platform to empower stupidity to destroy our culture by making it more mainstream.  When President Trump wanted to ban TikTok during his first presidency, he had the right idea in identifying a threat to our American youth.  China wants to make them dumb and to pursue the destruction of the next generation.  I was just in Japan studying how Kobe Beef is produced by tampering with cattle growth in ways that make the meat taste better.  TikTok was invented and utilized to be different from other forms of social media, more appealing to youth, and more addictive than YouTube or Facebook.  As a result, it is the critical platform millions of Americans use to share videos and opinions about a whole array of matters.  But residing behind that effort is a menace to destroy the mind of the consumer with addiction and short thinking, sexual obsession, and low intellect manipulations.  That could be said of most social media, but when it comes to TikTok, owned by the Chinese, the level of deceit is in a category of its own. 

The more general threat behind TikTok is the ability of foreign governments, hostile to the United States to own American assets.  Not just social media companies, but movie companies, land acquisition, and all other forms of investment.  America advertises itself as an open society; we allow foreign investment into our culture under the banner of “free trade,” only to see those hostile cultures use that weakness as leverage for our destruction.  Who needs a military when you can destroy the culture that produces the military?  By now, even the most dense person should understand that’s what we are dealing with.  When you look at all fronts, the poisoning of our youth with drugs, the teaching of communism in public schools, the destruction of the American family with feminism, and other methods, it should be obvious to everyone what’s going on.  Globalism wasn’t about bringing different countries into a capitalist society.  Globalism was about destroying the only real capitalist culture left on earth and eroding it from within, much the way TikTok was used as a kind of Trojan Horse.  But the troops don’t sneak in under the cover of night to slit everyone’s throats while they sleep.  They do it in the day, while everyone is awake.  But they get the people to slit their own throats and giggle about it like it’s a rebellion against convention.  The openness of American culture has been used against the kindness it was intended to project to the world’s less fortunate.  Rather than be thankful, those countries have plotted our destruction and then boasted about how weak we are for allowing them to do it.  So the TikTok problem won’t just disappear because politicians create a new ban on a social media platform.  The effort will just pack up and move to the next technological thing. 

My solution is to keep the government out of it and raise the expectations of social behavior through free market enterprise.  I agree with Trump, who has changed his mind on TikTok over time and with some perspective.  As long as we are allowing criminal syndicates, like China, and hostile billionaires like Bill Gates, to buy up massive amounts of American property and to use it in a hostile way against us, whether it be farmland or social media platforms, we open ourselves to the hostilities of those antagonizers, and there a lot of them.  Of course, those types of people want open borders; they want to suck off the merit of a capitalist country with lots of people to exploit in the process.  The government was supposed to protect us, but many of them are just as bad as the criminals, not being able to resist the many temptations in Washington D.C., from the easy money, the gratuitous sex, and the compromised lifestyles.  The way to beat all these characters is not with more government rules enforced by corrupt government officials but by increasing society’s morality in general.  We don’t have to put up with such low standards as the Chinese have offered us to make us fat, dumb, and easily manipulated toward their military objectives.  We are expected to express our feelings about things and to maintain standards that are difficult for lowlifes to live up to.  And in that way, who needs a ban on TikTok when a social stigma behind the platform permeates through market conditions?  The best way to deal with these hostilities from foreign governments is not to allow foreign investment to be so easy and to use a good moral code to regulate the amount of stupidity a culture is willing to put up with. 

There has been a lot of consternation locally where a new representative for the 47^th District in Ohio beat out an entrenched Republican who is well known to be a RINO because she happens to be a pastor for a large church.  RINOs are dangerous because they believe in compromise and are willing to work with evil to make things happen, which is how we end up with things like TikTok in our culture.  The consternation comes from the endorsement of Diane Mullins from churches to become a political representative because the argument is that it’s supposed to be illegal, separation of church and state kind of issue. The left commits a lot of unlawful acts, such as cheating in elections and conducting open borders.  I don’t think a church endorsing a pastor for a political position is a problem at all.  And those who want to think so obviously have the destruction of America in mind because the entire debate about the separation of church and state was to make sure morality wasn’t provided to sustain a healthy culture with biblical guideposts.  The goal of removing such considerations was to make it easier to destroy the youth of America, which was a military strategy disguised as social policy.  But it is in affirming those moral values, a society protects itself best from intrusions like TikTok and other intentions from hostile foreign governments.  And we’d do much more good by not apologizing for upholding moral virtue than in a newly created government ban.  I would rather have a government ban than have a rudderless society, such as bans on drugs, abortion, and general bad conduct.  However, the best way to enforce moral policy is to have a society that isn’t afraid to make judgments against bad behavior.  And that is what most of these characters fear: people and politicians are not afraid to judge; which was the most effective means of social control ever invented by human beings?
