Interesting, in the USA we call that game “warewolf”.

Don’t forget all the ads for weapons and drugs!

Yeah well TikTok was "saved" by Trump and a right winger has a 14% share. I've definitely seen more questionable comments and videos since it got "saved".
-
In Germany, we also call this game 'werewolf'. Never heard of 'wolf' alone, except for the animal.

Reddit killed Stumbleupon for me, that's how I discovered it to be honest. Before then I'd used Digg but that got killed with new Digg

Das ist so
I just shortened it, because I wasn't sure english speakers would know the word -

Yes, this is interesting! 'Wer' (meaning 'man') came from Old High German with the Anglo Saxons 1,500 years ago, and was part of Old English. It then became 'were' in Middle English and remains as part of werewolf ('man wolf') in modern English.

That's wild actually, love learning the history behind words. Did you know that very fun fact from the top of your head?
-
What if people really want to see that stuff, though?
We're doing more harm than good when we try to control what people think instead of including them in the discussion.

TikTok is also run by the CCP who absolutely do want western nations to be ruled by people like Trump. The more turmoil the better, in their eyes.

Anybody voting for anti-tax racist fascists is voting against their own interests, including anti-tax racist fascists themselves.

Kids want to run across the road without looking and stick a knife in a power socket.

They didn't have to make any deals, they just ignored the law and the FCC got gutted by the fascists that China supported during the election.

Sadly, demonstrably, a lot of people are unaware of anything involving government.

But Tankies and China are the socialist left. /SARCASM

No, not off the top of my head. But English is roughly half French/Latin and half German, with some Norse and other influences thrown in. Wer or were sound Germanic, so then a little Wikipedia help filled in the details.

It's fine if you think that, but you're opening yourself up to controlling aspects of people's lives you have no business controlling. You're essentially taking on the role of their parent.
People would say similar things to "justify" the war on drugs. "Drug users are hurting themselves, so we're doing a good thing by keeping them illegal!"

Research and Historic Examples both shows positive outcomes from voting against anti-tax racist fascists. The same is not true for the War on Drugs. What you're attempting to describe is dogma and closed-mindedness which are present in every single political ideology. What you fail to understand is that identifying those individuals and trying to inform them is not dogmatic, it's helping them make informed choices.
Also, the proof that far right is overrepresented on social media compared to their share of the population shows that the services are biased, not that this is "what people think."
