The video sharing app faces being banned in the US unless it severs ties with its China's ByteDance.

    A government that isn’t governing you … yet and that has no ambitions (/s) to take over as much power as possible in the country you live in, you mean?

      I hope the CPC takes power here in burgerland. Maybe then the place would stop being a shit hole.

        I don’t think you’d like ruining your social score by hanging out too much on lemmy and as a result losing access to movies/streaming/games, driving cars and your dog.

          America defended. You get +1 FICO credit score. You can now afford air conditioning for 2 hours.

              No you don’t. Not a single misbegotten anglo son in the west has ever meant the former when they say “neither washington nor beijing”.

                  Europeans are not far removed with how many of you just-as-misbegotten colonoids vassal’d out to Amerika; I don’t know why you think that’s a defense. You talk like you’re still a westerner; ergo, you and yours don’t mean it either, because you’re on the yankee’s leash, and follow the yankee’s lead. Uncle Sam says jump, you say “ja mein fuhrer!” Or what, you’re gonna tell me you’re not German either, with how much you talk about it?

                    So now I am german? I think I will stop engaging with lemmygrad users. You seem to be a very special bunch. That “FICO credit score” comment was genuinely funny though.

        Look, I don’t know which country you live in but if you’re worried it might make you a slave, you should riot (if at all possible, that is). Be part of the opposition.

          The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”

            Damn I thought private prisons were a loophole and not in the constitution to punish people with slave labor.

              Since the days the first settlers landed here, the backbone of the US economy has been forced labor. It’s only natural that we would enshrine it in our constitution.

            So what…?
            Not everybody is living in the “default country” and also, with the US we see how well it all works for them and how slavery is not a thing there at all.

              “So what?” Unbelievable. You get told Amerika is still a nation of chattel slavery and all you can say about it is ‘so what’? That’s my community, my people they’re bundling off into modern-day slavery, day by day by fucking day where they’re not chalking us out on the fuckin asphalt, and all you can say is ‘so what’.

              I hope your mf country collapses. Return to the fuckin dirt with you.

              Wow, you said you didn’t know which country had legalized slavery, and I answered and you turned into an obstinate asshole for some reason. What a weird way to behave!

              E: ah, wait, German. That makes sense.
