That’s very clearly not what they meant and you know it.

A small but vocal chunk of people moved to another Chinese social media app with the announcement of the TikTok shutdown. This app is mostly used by Chinese users unlike TikTok. The idiots are the ones trading one foreign monitoring app for another - one which doesn’t even primarily use the language they speak

Well, considering that I speak 4 languages myself, maybe that’s not the take I was going for.

The context of this bump is people being so enamored with tik Tok that they’re interested in a second language just to use a potential replacement.

You can be a dumbass but still be interested in a second language. That doesn’t imply everyone interested in a second language is a dumbass.
