Ooof, can you imagine? Gen alpha would all become reactionary right-wingers. Being older and living through that would be like that Ricky & Morty episode where Rick regenerates himself in an alternate universe and Morty is a fascist ordering him around.

That would certainly be the plan to radicalize them to fight with each other, while him & his cronies strip the world clean & then they escape only to learn #MarsLife was a suicide mission.

Could you imagine if TikTok started to promote far-right fascist parties?

Oh wait…

Context: The fascist German AfD is by far the most popular party on TikTok, getting more views than all others combined. It’s worse than on Facebook or YouTube.

Yeah, it’s not great already! But one thing I’ve learned as I transition from a skeptical optimist to whatever I am now is that it can always get worse, and Musk at this point seems to be aspiring to be Goebbels.
