Can you add a little more information for those of us who don't- and won't- use TikTok? Maybe a link to another source?
Thanks.

Agreed on your assesment of the situation.
It's tricky, because of all the subtle nuances of the interconnectedness of social media, trends, ideologies, manipulation, misinformation and so forth and the potential for abuse by manipulators and opportunists is a very real danger, because Humans don't always think things through before they act on their passions and interests, and TPTB are fully aware of this weakness and have used it to their advantage since the beginnings of Civilization.
DISCRETION is key.
Heavens knows I enjoy a funny stupid slice of life avauilable online, and as a rule of thumb to keep my mind as safe and sane as possible (heavens knows that's one hell of a challenge in and of itself) I always keep my guard up when it comes to certain topics or discussions, because Human Psychology is a Hell of a Drug, and the more attention we give certain matters, the more of a hold it can have on our psyches, whether consciously or unconsciously.
Right now, a good majority of the internet is devoted to mindless consumerism. Be it material goods, services, pornography, political ideologies, mindless makeover and trends, the full gamunt of just about everything under the sun is at our fingertips, and I have no doubt our search histories ar being monitored, as well as our contributions, spending habits, aesthetics, personal profiles and politial opinions.
I know it sounds cheesy, but I keep thinking about thestory of the Archangel Uriel, who keeps every action, thought and minutia of our lives written in the Book of Life for review whten the Day of Judgement comes to fruition. Is not our online history similar in many respects?
It's very complicated, and these are very passionate and confusing times for a lot fo us who have been around since before this technology came to it's current incarnation, but please, please, please, for the love of Sanity and Peace be cautious about being influenced by a device that is full of so much opportnities for temptation and the radicalization and infalmation of the passions that you lose perspective of all that is Beautiful and Good in the world.
Sorry about the prothetizing, I woke up with a fire under my ass todaty and I've been typing nonstop since I woke up.

Shutting up now because I know full well I'm an archaic relic from a time they'd like to erase completely in the name of Pure Science and Deranged Secular Reasoning because some people just trhive on neverending conflicts.

Strange, that this topic come up tonight. Last night, on YT I was watching an old film of how Mao had all of the old Chinese cultural works and traditions eliminated and handed out, in their place, his little red book. The exact tactics foresaw in the book 1984
I've repeatedly pointed out in my posts how our entire system is being subverted by an agenda to make us give up our old ways and be ready to absorb new ways as dictate directly, casually, and subconsciously by governments and social media. And grimace if you will, but the ETs are dictating that we WILL change our old ways toward what they would have for us. That is the pathway toward the New World Order whether you can accept that possibility or not. After all, the ETs have a purpose. The quicker you can understand the connections between changes being wrought upon us by governments and media, the better you will understand our predicament.
