Get used to it. Both TikTok and X(twitter) have been used and will be used to manipulate the public opinion in favour of Trump. I'm aware that I can't prove it; however, this explains how Trump won, and how he will win again - manipulating the zombies.

You have government-backed thugs with guns running around murdering people who take photos of them. You have something that looks worryingly like the Ceaușescu's Securitate "disappearing" citizens - including a little 5-year-old boy - off the streets. Justify that. Justify kidnapping a terrified little boy who should be at school with his friends, and locking him up in prison. Go on, justify those actions. Let's see…

Generally speaking, threats and calls to violence are legal. Only a subset are illegal.

You should use Google and try to understand what the person you’re replying to is saying. Because they’re correct and there’s a nuance to it under the law.

Doesn’t more and more countries fall into the enemies category as Trump is ruining international relationships?

In transparency will do this. No one can know what TikTok censors or penalizes in its algorithms. All other social media platforms are equally intransparent, what is new is that TikTok is not American.

In this particular case the censoring of anti-ICE post is most likely because TikTok is getting American (read: Trump allied) handlers.

And all the people that died because of him, is that intended?

Since when is speaking out against fascism virtue signalling? Like, how bad does it have to get before it's just speaking out against the attrocities happening around us and not virtue signalling? Or are celebrities just flat out not allowed to do it?

> Because if it were actual fascism, like the Hitler/Mussolini kind, you'd be arrest/dead the moment you spoke anything against it.

This is... a pretty confused view of history, really. Hitler became Chancellor in 1933, and consolidated power over the next year. At this point there was a lot of criticism of the regime, both internal and external. Things got rapidly worse after, of course, but there certainly was a period where the Nazis were in power but that there was public criticism.

Even as late as 1938, there was significant public discontent RE Kristallnacht in particular.
