It's either that or their laughing at China because they don't believe that other countries will continue trading w China and it's SO FREAKING BIZARRE that this is coming from tiktok; I could see it coming from reddit or twitter, but never tiktok.
Oh I saw this creator! It is so strange I have seen a couple of his prior videos on the trade, they were very "America bro what the fuck" this was very out of left field.. I immediately unsubbed/blocked after all because reality is brighter than this video, but honestly I thought it was pro-usa funding or something
It definitely has a message that runs contrary to to all of his previous videos and I presume it's got something to do w his recent American media consumption.
He's not the only one who seemingly switched narratives in the last few days and I unsubbed him too. I'm a bit glad for it since it helps narrow down whom I should try to keep following after tiktok gets banned... Again.
That is such a weirdly sanitized video. The tone is all over the place. Didn't tiktok change their algorithm to boost more right wing content?
your guess is as good as mine
Can't wait to see what secondary effects all of this will have.
Just like 2022 everything will be much more expensive. But this time companies are not shouting 'Ukraine war' but rather 'Tariffs' and profits will increase.
Mexico is gonna get some sweet discounts.
