I constantly have to remind myself that TikTok is a Chinese owned company and while a video like this would be banned in China the algorithm amplifies anti-social behaviour like this in the west.

When I see kids around me watching videos like this, I make sure to remind them and their parents this is deliberate propaganda.

When Facebook/Insta does it the motivation is money. When TikTok does it the motivation is political.
