Why not have some sense of humor? What kind of policing is this anyway? Does pointing out the irony of the fact that Boeing forgot how to build planes feels kinda butthurt compared to being supremacist about technology? Well it actually sho

Slogans sound fun, but realistically TikTok is just very good at giving you content you're interested in. If they don't care for this kind of content, they simply won't see it. It's the same the other way around.

> Whataboutism Comparisons and distinctions are the most natural way to perceive, learn and reason about stuff. The motivation that drives people to attack attempts of building a frame of reference is always suspicious.
