@dr.shawna: ⚠️ This video contains a screenshot and stitch of a creator using racial dog whistles. Viewer discretion is advised. ⚠️ Do we need more gatekeepers? The rise of the fake intellectual and pretend deep thinker is driven by systemic and structural issues within how social media platforms work to retain viewership and drive engagement. What responsibility do we have as the audience to call that out? For more on that, let’s go to the research! #LearnOnTikTok #TikTokLearningCampaign #socialscience #psychology
I don’t have as much patience as I should sometimes, so if my sassier tone is not your cup of tea, it might be good to skip this one. There are some great article recs in it though!

I may be wrong, but I see a pattern that indicates she is trying to get enough people upset to get featured on Fox or tpusa. Skimming her videos since, she has been doubling down not only on this but against other communities and then claiming she “technically voted for Harris bc she is a victim of mail in voter fraud.” It honestly reminds me of the college student who claimed she failed her part bc the teacher was trans and didn’t like her anti trans paper.

the stitched post feels like copy paste rage bait because I swear I've heard it before. I do think gatekeeping can be necessary because there are times I've seen things leak outside of the in-group and it becomes incredibly problematic, incredibly fast.

Part of the draw of Substack is the ability to attach more content. Articles to video, written word to articles and video to photos. Part of my dislike of this app is weaponzing of report. Because the app is incentivized by promoting misinformation.
