    Update: the first one is a bit of an out-loud reader, and I got him to read my comment out loud in his crowded barracks

    “DESERT YOUR UNIT”

    All last weekend my fyp was brigaded by chud text posts where they try to act tough about the “radical libs protesting” and I still don’t know what I did to deserve it. I barely ever talk to libs or chuds on there and my feed is mostly communist creators and stuff about autism…

    My greatest fear is probably being realized about the “behind closed doors” stuff that happened to keep TikTok in the states. My favorite thing about the app was that the feed alg tended to stay with your interests instead of trying to bait you like FB does.

          Nothing surprising. Way more reactionary, especially individualistic. Fitness (the aesthetic, “be an alpha” kind), explaining how stocks work, how to plan your retirement, how <esoteric feature of US government> works, complaining about some interaction with a drive thru employee, grindset mindset nonsense (how to deal with alienation by doubling down your efforts). Just a microcosm of the experience of the US at the moment.

    Deleted comment, disappeared suddenly, just stared blankly, banned, said something in germany-cool and deleted comment

    Oh and one of them banned me before I could take the screenshot of “damn, recruiters are DESPERATE desperate”

    About half of these troops mentioned that they were doing the tiktoks on duty and one said “oh yeah man they want us to come on and answer any of your questions”

        Funny how this is exactly how the US army twitch channel went too. The chat was full of people calling out US war crimes and making fun of the soldiers being forced to stream.

    genuinely don’t think this is the ‘DoD’ but instead the fact that the average soldier is a fucking stupid horny boy & stupid horny boys love preening online lmao
