Another great example about how disconnected the average westerner is from the material condition that most of the world faces. If you even take a second to look at the conditions that were necessary to preempt revolutions like that seen in China, Russia, Haiti, or as we see now the resistance of the Palestinians it becomes quite clear the question is not whether there will be medicine for sick children or whether child support comes through. The reality is that there will be NO hospitals and NO organization to even process the concept of child support. The liberal tendency to put the cart before the horse and insert their idealized concept of revolution into what they think revolutionary times might look like is what I personally see as one of the greatest divides in thought between them and some of the older relatives in my family I have had the chance to talk to. For my older relatives that lived through the war and revolution it was do or die. Just goes to show how far away any real chance of revolution is here in the west.

Found out my alma matar which I live a couple of blocks from is now a center of police brutality against student protesters. I wasn't able to go today due to helping a family member with some surgery for most of the day but thinking about going down tomorrow to give some support. Fingers crossed the pigs don't do anything stupid.
I spent 6 hours today stuck in a real estate investment "networking" event on behalf of a relative. Let's just say that that one video of the Ukrainian guy walking into a city committee meeting with grenades flashed through my mind constantly. A firm reminder to me why violence will undoubtedly be necessary against these ghouls.
There are a couple of points to consider the biggest one being that Americans as a user base are but a fraction of the global base,less than 10% iirc, and one of the hardest to monetize. Outside of financial considerations it's worth more to keep tiktok just for the global soft power it exerts on the other parts of the world and to send a message as well.
Safety issues aside there's actually a bit of a social aspect to this. Due to the prevalence of both carpooling and slow traffic many young people and families use the entertainment system for the passengers. Karaoke is really popular iirc so in order to stay competitive all new cars have to come with these features.
Considering that many consider bombing children and hospitals to be the right thing to do I'm not sure I really care lmao.
Lol this post on the deprogram subreddit was truly filled with lib brainrot before it got removed.
Lol r/LSC isn't even that leftist in terms of overall community. Lots of lib brained takes especially on any AES related posts.
