americans couldn't conceptualise the idea of tiktok existing outside of their capitalist "free market" system and required it to be almost comically involved within it to allow it to continue to exist, lest it simply disappear, somehow. capitalist realism

like when i say comically i really do mean comically i can't imagine a brand more hyperbolic than walmart being involved with this

@kate (/r/worldnews voice) thank god i dont live in china where they erase things for not being communist enough. who'd even fall for their rhetoric? anyway, im glad the US is going to ban tiktok for not being capitalist enough. hopefully we can all just forget it exists
