"It’s back to school season and on TikTok, that means students are inexplicably stealing everything that isn’t bolted down."

TikTok is a weapon. China is using TikTok to drive destructive "trends" meant to further unravel already frayed systems. In this instance, they're hitting the schools which are obviously already under extreme stress due to COVID, BLM, etc.

It's pretty fucking genius if you think about it. Death by 1000 cuts. Pretty fucking low that they're using children as the attack vector, but it's CCP and they don't give a fuck.
