I am thinking then we both understood some and misunderstood some.

My point was, if I want to critic the blog for it's internally odd Argumentation, then obviously it makes sense to use the blog as a source and it is in fact the only valid source for the critic of internally odd Argumentation.

My intention wasn't to use the blog as a source for anything beyond that.

I am sorry, misunderstanding on my end. It read to me as if you were expressing that I shouldn't be using the blog as source. I had a huge jet lag, idk maybe there is the reason. My bad sorry

So I shouldn't use text written by the author to understand the pov of the author and critic his pov because it is "only" a blog post, noted.

Aren't you misunderstanding my point a little bit? My point isn't that the e.g. us should ban TikTok or that national security is the most important thing ever. My first Point was that there is a national security incentive to ban TikTok in ways that e.g. Facebook doesn't have, but like you expressed obviously there are other consideration to be made. My first Point was just that TikTok is not like Facebook from an us national security pov. Then you spoke from a ban for service members, to which I simply pointed out that there is one to some degree, especially important as there is a ban on private devices in some environments. Deployment can be reason for the ban. In other words, your suggestion is already in place to some degree. My 2nd point about Russian propaganda is also strictly about the fact that "national security" doesn't end at the government employee line and suggesting that is ridiculous.

As you might have realized, I haven't expressed any desire to ban TikTok. That is because I am not in favor of a ban. I am just able to argue a perspective unlike mine own and think it is necessary when people treat Facebook and TikTok the same. Do you think china doesn't care about where their software is coming from? Do you think no one is avoiding e.g. check point firewall due to e.g. gil shwed and his story with unit 8200?

Well look at that. And no, that isn't enough from a military perspective. Look at the Russian propaganda war in e.g. Germany, that shit can have a negative effect on the defensive abilities of a nation.

Because it isn't new nor special.

Apps are a Service and services have been and are regulated for decades now and the system have been always arbitrary as fuck.

In the case of TikTok, the west, as a military alliance, should be concerned due to the nature of current valid Chinese laws and the implications of it.

And e.g. facebook has proven that they don't like to stick to rules about how to handle data. In case of TikTok, this could easily have bigger implications for e.g. the American military.

Take this as a learning opportunity.

This meme isn't about "thinking for oneself" or even "being critical of information (or the government)", it is saying government education is turning you stupid. Which is stupid, because it is ignorant, "thinking for oneself" isn't stupid, I am doing that with my "government education" and I would wish you would too.

Well my phone capitalized it but interesting read into my autocorrected message on my multi lingual Keyboard settings. Oh look it capitalized keyboard, my new deity.

Maybe don't live in delusions about other people. I am familiar with the Prussian model. I am familiar with the criticism of it too. Presented to me by people educated with the Prussian model. Almost as if human can think for themselves and one shouldn't underestimate their ability to think for themselves.

All of this is especially ironic considering the high number of religious indoctrination facilitating through home schooling.

But please go on. I won't play with you tho.

I love this because it is a stupid take that doesn't remotely understand or is willing to acknowledge any benefits of a standardized Education

With the awareness that some people might call me names for saying that... AC4: black flag wasn't even that good of a game in my opinion

How is that related to my comment and how does that answer my request for clarification? I am sorry but this seem completely unrelated.

Yes but what about this whataboutism? And honestly I am fairly certain it ain't as much as Bitcoin. People usually focus on 1 thing to get it done because moving to the next. I bet you try to do that at work too.
