TikTok is letting its socialist leanings show.
The Chinese-based social-media platform discreetly reversed a ban it had placed on the activities of a pro-abortion group known for using TikTok to coordinate protests outside the homes of conservative Supreme Court justices, The National Pulse notes.
Ruth Sent Us has devoted itself to championing progressivism when it comes to a number of political issues, including abortion, race relations, immigration, and the LGBT agenda.
The group has been particularly vocal in light of the recent repeal of Roe v. Wade. The 1973 Supreme Court decision had made abortion legal throughout the country, but was overturned by the court in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization last week — sending the decision of abortion policy back to the states.
The National Pulse quotes the Ruth Sent Us website: “Our 6-3 extremist Supreme Court routinely issues rulings that hurt women, racial minorities, LGBTQ+ and immigrant rights. We must rise up to force accountability using a diversity of tactics. (The website has since been removed.)
On May 14, complaints about Ruth Sent Us using TikTok to organize demonstrations led the social-media company to ban the group. Yet TikTok later undid the ban without providing any explanation as to why.
According to The National Pulse, the group’s official Twitter account read: “GREAT NEWS: our TikTok @ruthsent which was ‘permanently banned’ due to mass reporting is back up due to mass appeals! There’s more of us than them. Take that, haters!” (Twitter has since deleted the group’s account.)
In the days since the ban was undone, the group has published numerous videos of their activists intimidating Supreme Court justices by holding marches directly outside their homes.
Ruth Sent Us has also used TikTok to raise money for the purpose of funding the travel costs of protesters, including “rides to the suburbs” to demonstrate at justices’ houses.
Other videos on the Ruth Sent Us TikTok account show rendezvous points for the activists prior to going to the homes of justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Amy Coney Barrett, and Brett Kavanaugh.
While Ruth Sent Us had its account restored, TikTok has banned the well-known pro-life group Live Action, among other conservative entities.
TikTok has deep ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The platform’s parent company, ByteDance, is known for recruiting former Communist Party officials and giving them preference in hiring. That includes those with ties to the Chinese military.
Moreover, as The National Pulse notes, the founder of ByteDance vowed to use the company to “promote socialist core values.” In fact, the CCP now has an official stake in the firm.
President Donald Trump tried to take on TikTok, signing an executive order in August of 2020 that banned any U.S. transactions with ByteDance. The ban on the app was blocked by a federal judge, however, and then revoked by Joe Biden in June 2021.
Since the end of Roe, the Left has been resorting to violence and vandalism to express their outrage at the fact that they no longer have a federally protected “right” to murder unborn children.
As PJ media reports:
If there is violence at churches, it certainly won’t be anything new. Live Action’s Lila Rose pointed out Thursday that “Since the Dobbs v Jackson draft was leaked, pro-abortion activists have: -Vandalized 16 churches -Vandalized at least 16 pro-life pregnancy centers -Firebombed 4 pro-life pregnancy centers and offices -Attempted to assassinate a Supreme Court Justice[.] Where’s the outrage?”
It’s no surprise that CCP-controlled TikTok is siding with the pro-abortion crowd. They’re cut from the same cloth: the cloth of marxism.
Karl Marx, of course, was avidly anti-Christian, and thus the philosophy he created attacks the most fundamental social institutions in Christianity — children, parenthood, and the family.
No matter what variety of Marxists you deal with, they’re always dead-set on destroying the family. Hence in China, you had the CCP’s longtime one-child policy, while in America you have Black Lives Matter, who actually described themselves as “trained Marxists,” fighting to “disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family.”
TikTok’s quiet support for Ruth Sent Us, then, is merely an instance of two different brands of Marxists working together toward a common cause: Chinese communists and American social-justice warriors trying to sacrifice children, destroy the family, subvert society, and institute population control to better keep the people in line.
