this tik tok ban bill is really making me realize how much the government cares about controlling its citizens rather than taking care of them. maybe my idea of what the government does prior to this was entirely incorrect--maybe a government should be in the business of controlling its citizens rather than helping them. but that really doesn't sit right with me

#and to be clear i wasn't totally naive of this beforehand #i mean they literally fund the military and police force more than any other area #'taking care' of a population is not about punishing or controlling them #being taken care of means you're actually getting better #to take care of someone is to do things that benefit them #is that so wild?? i just. i genuinely don't understand #well that's not entirely true #but god it makes me so fucking hopeless #like girl(gn) we elected you so you better be doing everything in your power to stay elected #a system so broken that they'd rather argue about banning a social media website than funding hospitals or keeping peoples' rights in place #or literally just.. keeping people alive #for fucks sake #hands are tied until it directly impacts you #i thought this was going to make me less angry but im more angry now woopdeedoo #rambles
