The authoritarian script:
1) Court rules against leader
2) Attack judges as biased/dangerous
3) Delegitimize judicial system
4) Create permission for threats
5) IF NO MASS RESISTANCE → Purge the courts
6) IF MASS RESISTANCE → Forced to retreat

People are messaging me saying Zuck bought TikTok, and they’ll never go back. Meanwhile, I’ll be on YouTube clicking every Facebook and Insta ad I see just to cost Meta money. Play the long game, folks.
The ring kissing in Tik Tok’s final update makes me want to never go back.
This is the bad place.
I’m absolutely living for pettiness coming out of the Tik Tok ban. Talk about overplaying your hand and an entire generation going, “bet.”
Absolutely not coming.
