Americans Under 30 Don’t Trust Religion — or Anything Else - Lemmy.World

Seen a lot of them trust what ever dumb crap on ticktock though. I am sure that will be weaponized more than it already is

That’s a lot of Gen Z. I work with these teens and they have said that tiktok is how they learn stuff and after seeing what they showed me, some of the stuff, man… I had to reiterate for them to NOT do those things.

TikTok is for entertainment. People try to “teach” in order to get a following. It’s as bad as the home crafts for repair stuff. Life hacks? Idk. It’s garbage and most of it won’t fix the issue properly.

My imagination is that TT is a supereffective propaganda machine because you don't get the time to think. In that sense it sends falsehoods to subliminal. Am I right? Is there other aspects that makes it dangerous?

That's exactly what TikTok is. It's just the latest weaponized propaganda machine from the CCP designed to destabilize social harmony in the west and weaken the youngest generations' trust in western democratic values (specifically to ensure their values and priorities are molded to align more with hypercorporatized capitalism x mass governmental surveillance and control.) Basically, "don't question any narratives, shut down any dissenting opinions, and spend, spend, spend, peasants." You're seeing this taking place all across the west today, and it began around the time of the Occupy Wallstreet movement.

TikTok wasn't the first tool to be used against us, but it's certainly been the most effective, and I'm not sure the youngest among us can reverse the damage already done to their minds. I'm extremely worried about the future of all free democratic nations. We're sliding fast into a neofeudalistic world, and it isn't going to be a superficially-fun dystopia. It'll just suck massive cock.

My daughter is trying to improve her drawing skills. We told her don’t even look on TikTok for a tutorial, because it will probably be some asshole who will tell her the wrong thing anyway.

TikTok is garbage.

I wonder if there’s a generation of kids who think “hack” means a clever solution rather than a shoddy one.
Conspiracy theories are the concept you are talking about imho.
Hustle culture’s appeal is dependent on the landscape being a bleak dystopia, not an independent alternative.
