i feel like this is something that would make a really good example in a "How to Spot Fake Videos" course, plenty of people in the comments have pointed it out but i think a pretty obvious one is he's dressed for winter and everyone after the video cuts is dressed for much warmer weather
Really love how this guy posted this on TikTok thinking the woman who broke his Meta glasses would come off as the villain, as opposed to him, the guy recording her without her consent for social media content via a surveillance device made by one of the worst companies on earth
Woman Hailed as Hero for Smashing Man's Meta Smart Glasses on Subway
A New York subway rider has accused a woman of breaking his Meta smart glasses. She was later hailed as a hero.

it might seem surprising that the people who said “look, let trans people live their lives, but i have Reasonable Concerns about sports and toilets” aren’t up in arms about this, but what you have to remember is that those people who said that are liars who were lying

NEW: Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani said Thursday he will not continue sweeps of homeless encampments — which city data shows have not yielded any permanent or supportive-housing referrals in more than a year.

This feels like the central toxicity of these dude-gurus: They're feeding men an ideology that immediately casts it as "virtue signaling" whenever anyone states a moral value of any kind. An explicitly nihilistic worldview and a recipe for lifelong misery.

I have a higher proportion of trans people in my life than the average person in the U.K. - trans men and trans women as well as some enbys, most of them are young adults.
In no way shape or form would any of them (now or a few years ago as kids) pose any kind of threat to a bunch of girl guides. 🏳️⚧️🫶

Agreed. You have to make sure you are directing your justifiable anger toward the perpetrators.

Like, this is why they're targetting those organisations. They're shooting fish in a barrel because they know those organisations can't fight back. The organsiations that want to be trans inclusive are allies, not the enemy. Don't let the actual villains convince you otherwise

This correct, and almost none of it is organically arising from the public. The relentless fear and hate of the last decade was deliberately imposed by opportunist politicians, toxic media outlets, crackpot activists and malignant squillionaires, working hand in hand towards similar goals.
There is absolutely nothing left to the UK but bigotry and spite. A hateful place, you can almost taste it in the air, makes it hard to breathe.

It's become normal now for high-level political figures to argue that an entire generation was brainwashed through fake videos into mass anti-Israel political mobilization by TikTok. Complete conspiracy thinking, rooted in zero evidence, based on nothing
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

boys being boys (being violent to girls & queer people & each other) is just normal and fine of course. that's the whole damn ruling class of [insert country here]. god forbid a "boy" exists who likes hanging out with girls and she herself is a girl who considers other girls her equals
i love this point bc it really is so absurd that so much of transmisogyny is predicated on protecting girls from the violence of boys so one would think that actively encouraging boys to view girls as their peers and confidants would be good. and yet
very funny to me that both liberal and radical feminist legal policy are complete and utter failures of projects because in response to a situation where "boys" want to play with girls and associate with girls the response by the state is to ban this to ensure it's either become a patriarch or die
