    Really, this is what they are concern about when there are 130,000 deaths already because of the pandemic. Being prepared now is important because of many things now are happening unexpectedly. One thing I have learned is to prepare not only ourselves but the things that we will be needing in case of emergencies, like bags, food, money, tools such as flashlights. Now I am purchasing this Coast flashlight https://totalguide.org/best-tactical...t-flashlights/ which I have read so many good reviews.

    In a free society individuals decide what products they buy, not the government. This is not complicated.

    The good news is that having a president with no regard for property rights will speed up the demise of the dollar and make my gold go up in value! Yay! Go Trump!

    I'd rather have China spying on me than the US. China can't do anything to me.

    Banning criminal products that violate the rights of their customers is a legitimate purpose of government, especially when a foreign enemy is selling that product.

    Well I am not really for anyone spying on me. I have a lot of friends who are Chinese and they say this app is bad. They all say the reason they are here instead of China is because China is bad. I have been listening to my Chinese friends speak about China for a long time many of them miss their friends and family in China but they do not want to go back and they do not want to take their children there who have been born in the USA. They are all very good people they work hard and take care of their families and are very good to people who work for them and others too. They told me about Clinton selling our jobs to China while it was happening. I feel like the Monica thing was all about keeping the focus off of what was going on with China and the USA. They needed some juicy gossip like thing to distract us.

    It's supposed to be the individual who decides if his rights are being violated, not the government.

    Individuals? In Swordy's world individuals aren't competent to make such determinations in cases like this. That requires judges and politicians, you know, to make sure true liberty and justice are served like they do in every other case.

    The Chinese-controlled TikTok social media app is fostering degeneracy in the West by design, and they are enabling pedophilia and gender bending among children by promoting the #FemBoys hashtag on the social media platform.
    VICE profiled this Femboy fad as a “wholesome trend” in which gay and straight teenagers are encouraged to wear dresses and prance around for the delight of pedophiles worldwide.
    “Femboys – not to be confused with their slightly more sinister cyber-cousin, e-boys – are people who identify as male or non-binary but present themselves in more traditionally feminine ways, such as through their appearance, personality or general disposition,” wrote VICE contributor Dani Ran.


    “Look through the #femboy hashtag and you’ll find hundreds of young men wearing nail varnish, twirling in skirts, crop-tops and dresses,” Ran added.
    VICE highlighted a seventeen-year-old femboy named Seth, who has been promoted on the platform under the hashtag #femboyfriday. The China-based company is providing a platform for these confused and unsuspecting children to essentially pimp themselves out to pedophiles.
    “I wasn’t aware that there were tons of other boys like me, so the term [femboy] gave me a community,” Seth said to VICE.
    “When I first started posting my femboy TikToks, the community was so accepting and kind and even loving. Everyone loved what I posted and loved what I wore, which boosted my confidence immensely and made me feel accepted,” a 16-year-old femboy who goes by the name Jaydden said.
    But not everyone is on board with this sickening trend. Many concerned individuals are disgusted and pushing back against this China-enabled degeneracy that is taking hold across the West.
    “Over time, my videos reached the wrong side of TikTok and I received thousands of hateful and homophobic comments,” femboy Jaydden said. “It made me feel horrible for just being me and expressing myself.”
    Nevertheless, these femboys will continue to encourage other children to become fodder for predators and further the West down a dark road.
    “The femboy trend on TikTok shows that more men nowadays are comfortable with their sexuality and masculinity, and that clothing does not define any of that,” Jaydden said. “People can wear what they want without threatening their masculinity.”
    Seth agreed: “Men often conflate femininity with weakness, when that is not at all the case.” Dressing femininely makes him feel liberated from societal restraints, he explains, and “people need to see men disregard traditional norms to deconstruct the toxic beliefs they’ve been taught – visibility is the first step necessary for change”.
    TikTok is not the only social media platform that serves as a perverted buffet for abusers, as child porn is regularly traded over Twitter and other social media platforms.

    It's not the rights of the criminal, it's the rights of the victim. In that case it would be up to the store owner to decide if he wants to press charges.

    Using your logic the state can decide that all sorts of things are "violating" your rights, even if you yourself don't think so.

    Using your logic the govt can decide smoking pot is violating your rights. Or eating read meat. Or home schooling your children. Or not getting a vaccine ...

    Again, you are ignoring the foreign enemy aspect and you ignoring the fact that the cop would have every right to stop the thief and arrest him.
    If the victim decided to not press charges then the crook would be let go later but even that would not apply to a foreign state actor, he would be expelled at best and possibly executed as a spy.
    And no, my logic doesn't create a precedent for victimless crimes or forced vaccination etc.

    Tik Tok is a foreign intel op threatening national security:

    Radio Free Asia (RFA) published an article explaining the reason that the U.S. closed China’s Consulate in Houston.

    The article stated that the U.S. has known that the staff members at the consulate were conducting suspicious activities, but, for a while, it did not take any action. The Second Department of China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA), which is the PLA’s intelligence unit, sent staff members from a large network company, with fake IDs, to China’s Consulate in Houston. Those technicians used a large video platform’s backend data to identify people who might participate in the Black Lives Matter (BLM) and ANTIFA’s protests and then created and sent them customized videos on how to organize riots and how to do promotions.

    The purpose was to “weaponize” big data technology. It delivered relevant materials precisely to those people who were most likely to participate in the protests, while other people could not even find those videos.

    RFA did not spell out the company names. A Twitter account said the technicians were from Huawei and the video platform they used to identify candidates and push videos to was TikTok.
