      Doesn’t matter, I know that if someone uses the word “slams” in a headline, it’s not worth reading

    He’s not ignorant, he’s a demagogue performing for his ignorant base.

    Literally the article is from the South China Morning Post…

    But how stupid do you have to be to think that just because the man was born in another country, that he can’t be running a company that is backdooring for the Chinese?

    We’ve know for some time that TikTok is a Chinese data-mine. https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/08/tech/tiktok-data-china/index.html

      The US doesn’t recognize Singapore as sovereign? Membership in the CPC is conditional on being a Chinese citizen.

      When your opponent has the right argument, the only way to combat them is to pick apart the most inconsequential tidbits and extrapolate/misrepresent them.
