@peytonpearson If it helps he’s just some shit you get for putting in a code or something, not forced on you. So end of the day, just another shitty creator activation rather than something that’ll matter at all. Still stupid, natch.

What’s amazing about politicians, particularly British politicians, is they’re not JUST shit politicians, they seem to be terrible at everything. Less charisma than most 1k sub YouTubers. Less balls than your average marketing exec. Less understanding than any random 15 y/o.

We should be thankful for Elon Musk. Nobody has ever reached this level of owned online before. Nobody has ever been so divorced. The limits of being pathetic have never been explored to this degree, nor have we had such proof that money makes you neither smart nor happy.

As always, you can decide you just don't care that much if you want, but don't pretend it's some deep societal difference we simply can't understand - privileged young men trying to control everything around them is the same in every country. Good thread.

Almost everyone on TikTok regardless of political leaning uses the same style guide, so you’ll see a “Tradwife” account but they’ll be doing the same mannerisms that a communist egirl does. It’s like Metal Gear but Big Boss’ genes came from Boxxy.
