Comment on TikTok faces app deletions, censorship claims and glitches in days after its ownership change

You know, watching cartoons when I was young, I always thought it’s unrealistic the bad guys keep trying the same insane plan to “take over the world” or whatever when the hero had foiled like 1,000 of those already… I always thought “no way villains are this stupid”

Fuck me, what did I know? Turns out they actually are.

Actually I always thought it was insane that they DIDN’T try the same insane plan more than once.

Like, half the time Cobra’s crazy plan ALMOST worked. But either luck or some fixable hole in the plan stopped it. But if they just tried it again but just learn from the failure, address the problems they hit, and try again. Maybe even a third time.

But no, they’d always just try some other totally insane plan instead. Every time.

In this case they’re trying stuff that has, in some cases, worked.

I don’t think they’re shooting for Germany 1938. They’re shooting closer to Putin’s Russia. One of many “successful” totalitarian takeovers.
