    Yes, yes I do. Also the CCP can’t ruin my life, unlike Uncle Sam. Deciding which one is more evil is irrelevant.

      Well, the majority of Americans disagree with you per this article. A world war with China absolutely would ruin a lot of lives. I cannot even comprehend how you could come to the conclusion otherwise.

        The majority of americans are fuckin stupid and believe whatever their TV programming tells them to believe.

        Who said anything about war?? I’m staying “in this regard”, which is about privacy and data being taken and used by a government. Outside of that context yes I think the CCP is absolutely worse than the US in just about every category. There’s no question there.

          Read the title of this thread again. This thread is about if TikTok is a threat to national security. This thread is about war.

            That’s not what I was responding to but in any case, no, I don’t think tiktok is a threat to national security or going to cause a war. This is FUD.
