Comedian who runs a podcast. This is an important event imo because he rubs shoulders with right wing dumbasses and has them in his audience as well. The more they hear opposing viewpoints the better.

Podcast Bro, best not to pay attention or attention to anyone who listens to them.

Give us a source then mr. objective fact man

It’s not ‘talk’ about it, it’s firsthand video of how evil the IDF is. It’s first hand accounts from Palestinians. It’s up to the minute updates, without filter or moderation.

I mean… you can talk about it here and tens of people might see it.

Facebook actively shadow bans you when you discuss Gaza. Tiktok is afaik the only platform where you can agitate about Gaza with significant reach.

Edit: I just watched an FD Signifier video, where he avoided saying the word “Palestine”, because he expects youtube to bury his content if he mentions it.

TikTok is the largest platform with the greatest reach where the genocide in Gaza can be discussed without being algorithmically suppressed.

Don’t bother. Logic has no quarter here. If the ban predates the conflict we’ll just do some gymnastics to prove it was in fact still about Gaza

Well, it was actually Trump that tried to ban it and Democrats were against it. I wonder why Democrats took up the mantle in the past year hmmmmm

Yes, Israel and Gaza, a world event only relevant in the last year or so

It was not a bipartisan topic until Israel entered the picture.

Eh, going back at least as far as his real world days, he’s always been about being edgy and asinine. I’ve never heard of him directly fucking people over, but I can’t call him nice just because he uses a degree of manners in public.

It isn’t about his political views, idgaf about that as far as this subject goes. Until you get into actual extremists, the kind of right or left wing folks that make up the bulk of things tend to not be assholes in their day to day behavior. They don’t often pound their pulpit non stop, or publicly and directly bash any given group. Theo is like that, in that regard. It’s about him generally behaving as though he has some need to stir shit to feel like he’s funny.

If this is is the guy that recently had Bernie on, then I think he’s mainly poorly informed and unable to realise when a politician is spinning a line for ulterior motives.

Speaking as someone with no social media (big grain of salt), whenever I’ve heard reporting on people seeing the genocide on their phones it was always referencing tiktok. They never said “people watched children be exploded on twitter or Insta”. That could be due to user preference or whatever, but as an outsider, I have the ambient notion that more of this kind of content was coming from tiktok.

More concretely, in a lot of the stuff that came out of the twitter files, it’s clear that the US government does have, what I would classify as, inappropriate contact with american social media companies that can controle narratives. Without saying something with absolute certainty, the statement he’s making sounds pretty reasonable.

Also nothing is just one thing, there’s probably a ton going on.

TikTok was already forced to host their data in the US because of “security concerns” but the level of censorship is not the same. The US wants to fully control what people are able to see to brainwash them.

American companies such as Twitter and Meta have IDF soldiers running their censorship division and systematically surpress Palestinian channels. This shadow censorship gives Americans the illusion they are experiencing free speech.
