since everyone’s getting back into the hunger games, i just wanna say this. if i was katniss talking to hijacked peeta, i wouldn’t have been able to take the stuff he said. “snow said everything that comes out of your mouth is a lie.” my response would be “didn’t snow bomb your family? but you’re gonna listen to him right…” i seriously would not have been able to be sensitive in that situation. peeta was fed lies and kept spewing them out with no filter. yes i understand, he was ill and not in his right mind. i’m just putting myself in katniss’ shoes. girl was forced to be some symbol for the rebellion, to play a role constantly, to be a leader and all she wanted to do was survive. then after dealing with that, the guy she loves comes back to her totally brainwashed and tries to kill her. i would’ve been done with everything. i don’t know how katniss didn’t just spazz out on people.

I need ya’ll to realize running back to TikTok like nothing fucking happened is exactly what this motherfucker wants. He wants you to run back and to be grateful. He wants you to forget that the Supreme Court has just passed something that indicates they can pursue intense censorship and remove our access to free speech and non-propagandized/monitored spaces whenever they want. He wants you to be so focused on all this that you completely forget that he’s about to pass at least a hundred horrific policies stripping us of our rights as soon as this week. He wants you to stop talking about Palestine who is still in danger and is in desperate need of aid despite the ceasefire. He wants you to turn your attention away from all the people in LA suffering thanks to the fires.
I don’t want to say it’s just an app, because it’s not. I was incredibly sad about losing TikTok yesterday. Many of us had a community that meant a great deal to us torn away suddenly and I am not saying we shouldn’t be upset about that. But I am saying that as much as the Supreme Court has more important things they should be focusing on over banning TikTok we have more important things to do then run back to an app that was obviously used for a publicity stunt by Trump and will inevitably be influenced by him and his fascism.
We’ve been discussing boycotting Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, and other Meta platforms due to their connections to Trump and his posse of billionaires. TikTok must be treated the same way so long as the CEO and company is in Trump’s pocket.
