I don't give a shit about flags but as a veteran it still pains me. I think flag burners like Koran burners just like causing pain.
As a veteran have you considered that you have a mental blindspot caused by your military training?
There's literally nothing wrong with being happy to be an American despite it's flaws

> do tiktok users just switch to reels like nothing happened Yeah. The content there is already crossposted from TikTok anyway, now it will just be created there by default. Zero functional difference. Plus the YouTube Shorts algorithm has gotten a lot less overtly awful in the last year.
I just tested this and scrolled for a couple minutes straight — not one short was anything remotely substantive or interesting to me. An endless fountain of brain rot and offensively low quality content. Lots of it ai generated audio (wouldn’t be surprised if the content was too). Is there something I’m doing wrong? Because mine is still very very bad. It seems to ignore my actual channel subscriptions and usual view…
> “In the context of social media platforms used by nearly half of Americans, it’s not hard to imagine how a platform that facilitates so much commerce, political discourse, and social debate could be covertly manipulated to serve the goals of an authoritarian regime, one with a long track record of censorship, transnational repression, and promotion of disinformation.” Mark Warner (D-VA), Senate Intelligence Committ…
The only thing they are afraid of is being exposed. Simply exposing the vast weaknesses of the ruling elite in the country is has a stronger effect than what most people consider to be overtly propaganda.

As a flag burner have you considered you've fallen for propaganda that seeks to divide the nation rather than fix it's problems? There's literally nothing wrong with being happy to be an American despite it's flaws

> Because paying $5/gal gasoline and $8 for a carton of eggs is disastrous for me personally. I get $5/gal gasoline being a bummer (not that I would notice since I have an EV), but where do you live where eggs cost $8 a carton? I can get 18 for Seriously, I wonder if Trump supporters are just making bad buying decision and then blaming Bidenomics for it? When I lived in Switzerland, I had a lot of price shocks to go…
Hilarious. Yeah people like me who have been buying the same food for the last ten years just happened to buy new items at the same time inflation started.
I think this just validates China’s social, cultural, and digital hegemony. Banning (if you can call it that? Divesting?) a single product like this is a strange move. It’s using a shovel to clear the early crumbs of an avalanche. I don’t think this is the right move. Yes, it threatens the monopolies that companies like Facebook have established. And let’s assume that Haidt is right and social media and the surroundi…
Care to elaborate your point? I tried to understand what point you tried to make,but it heavily contrasts with reality.
I hope ByteDance sell tiktok to North Korea. This bill is so misguided and inflammatory. It's clearly OK for Google and Meta to freely harvest our data and sell it for a profit, but I guess they can't charge tariffs on data so they'll make up excuses and bully foreign companies over it. I hope the Chinese join the EU and start pushing on our tech monopolies since our government is too busy with bills like this to uph…
