'Libs of TikTok' has outsized role in right-wing discourse

Compelling (and disturbing) reporting here. It's mystifying to me that a rando Twitter user has been able to influence public talking points (and even legislation) to this degree simply by being consistently hateful and never letting up on the outrage p0rn.

And for all those crying that this is "doxxing," it's all publicly available information.

“Libs of TikTok is basically acting as a wire service for the broader right-wing media ecosystem,” said Ari Drennen, LGBTQ program director for Media Matters, the progressive media watchdog group.”


Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

UNREAL. The Mass General Brigham Hospital system will no longer report babies who are born with d*rugs in their system to child welfare because it "disproportionately affects Black people." Reporting child neglect is now racist.

Yeah it’s pretty funny.  They don’t think drugs in a baby’s system matters anymore for certain races.  I don’t think they should give up on people because of melanin.

You're not a serious person.

I don't really get what the relative racial incidence has to do with it. If drug screen doesn't mean abuse/neglect, why not just cite that as the reason for the change? 


They’re lowering standards for people across the board to protect one race is what it looks like given the information here.  
 

I wouldn’t think a hospital could do this on its own.  It seems like a law issue.  Is having drugs in your babies system illegal?  Wouldn’t the cops be the ones to say what the hospital should report?

Btw, I'll note that Molly Farrar is a writer for Boston.com, so her article is probably like just fine. But this racist piece of trash can't even be bothered to read the article Chaya Raichik posted an image of.

The article never touched on this, but why doesn’t a positive drug screen from a newborn’s system mean abuse/neglect?

Because sometimes the mother is on a script drug that helps them to get off the street drug.  It can show as a positive for opioids etc

I'm not sure you actually read the article?

Apart from the obvious issue of taking medications that are prescribed for you by a doctor:

Should the state take away a woman's child because she made a mistake and smoked a little weed to calm down her anxiety? Many of your mothers probably drank alcohol and smoked cigarettes while pregnant with you. Should you have been taken from them? Were you being abused?

What if someone gave her an edible and didn't tell her what was in it? Should that be investigated by CPS? Or maybe just the hospital, which is already shit hospitals/clinics do, and then they can make the appropriate decision.

Good point i guess. What if? 

What if someone smoke during pregnancy? Or drinks a glass of wine. All of these things have some possible detrimental effect on the fetus. Is that grounds for the state taking legal custody of someone’s child?

this is satire right? It's cringey (is this an actual word?) in the opposite way how concert t-shirts from the 70s-90s are now cool but the person wearing them can't name one song from the band. And may actually not even recognize one song.

WTF is going on with these assholes vs. Planet Fitness? 

That dumbshit Kid Rock said something about Planet Fitness the other day, and I just heard that they (PF) are getting multiple bomb threats from the whackos every day.

It is wild to me how much of right-wing politics is just beefs with different brands. 

Every accusation is a confession.  Hardcore right wingers are thin skinned woke radicals in search of a safe space.  Waaaaah, a book talks about blowjobs, ban it, waaaaaah. Immigrants are taking over this country, waaaaah! Crime, waaaaaah! Border, waaaaah! Bathrooms are a sacred safe space, waaaaaah! Gay Bud Light can, cancel them, waaaaaah!

Truly the biggest pussies in this country.

Wife was three days overdue, and her ob/gyn recommended we go out to eat and told her to have a glass of wine. Our first was born the next day. Never went back to that restaurant.

Pretty sure they are ok with beef, but fuck that pork is the other white meat marketing that’s just down right feminine.

Right-wing politics is basically just cancel culture writ large.
Karens never think that they're the Karens. Every problem in the world is someone else's doing. Every unhappiness they feel is due to some wrong. The only way they know to deal with that unhappiness is to spread it to other people.

Modern "Conservatism" isn't about politics or policy, it's about dumping negative feelings. It should be called Karenism.

I’m late to the party, but this is the key phrase here with every outrage of the day.

“I feel guilty about looking at porn so easily online, so we should make it hard on people to look at it”

”I have an unhealthy obsession about people using bathrooms so we should check everybody’s genitals before they go in”

”I feel like the only way we can win elections is by cheating so we should accuse Democrats of rigging elections”

“I can’t control myself around young children so I’m going to accuse gay people of being groomers”

”All of my finances are tangled up with foreign countries so I’m going to accuse Joe Biden of taking money from them”

”I want to use the Department of Justice against my enemies and to get me off the hook in my criminal cases so I’m going to accuse the Democrats of weaponizing the DOJ”

”I know most of my supporters are uneducated so I’m going to work on destroying upper education any way I can”

and so on
