Not sure what to make of this. TikTokers' first anti-imperialist "theory" being from a far-right anticommunist religious zealot with valid criticisms but no real analysis and a bit of "Jews control everything" seems perfect for the mainstream media to weaponize. On the other hand, people are realizing America are the bad guys and terrorists don't hate us for our freedom, and will hopefully learn more, far better stuff?

Tiktok took the videos down but I screenshot these two comments lmfao: joker-laden

Edit:

CNN article (the thing I linked in the post was a video)

FOX News, NBC, New York Times, Forbes, Washington Post, the Guardian, Wall Street Journal, CBS, Reuters, TIME Magazine, The Hill, etc. all reported on it in the past few hours. You got headlines like "Bin Laden's Letter to US Stuns Young Americans: 'He Was Right'"

I know we're all supposed to be cool and with it but fuck it I'd never heard of this letter either. Like I knew he'd talked about his motivations before and I knew they weren't about freedom or whatever but I'd never once heard that this letter exists

Same tbh, it's more just like the contents of the letter didn't surprise me

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
