Protest can also be a form of art and memetic transmission. Don't be so quick to dismiss others.

There's already a mass exodus to RedNote, and I gotta say, I love that there are no ads.

My TikTok feed is rather radical, which is a non+option on all the other corporate platforms.

The contradictory belief that voters who backed Trump are too stupid to understand what they voted for, but nevertheless deserve pain

This so much. The "voters are too stupid" narrative defangs any attempt to talk about how our systems misinform (or don't inform) voters.
