    Do I find the flood of users from TikTok to Rednote extremely funny? Yes, absolutely.

    Do I think its indicative of an ideological sea change in a country that’s gradually closing the door on any kind of subversive or radical sentiment? Not particularly, no.

    People who just want to watch TikTok dances and re-cut Family Guy shorts aren’t going to win a death struggle against the owners of the biggest treat machines. Rats fleeing a sinking ship are not agents of revolutionary change.
