A Sign of the Times: Leftists Are Now Declaring Their Support for Osama bin Laden En Masse
As if we needed any more proof TikTok is an enemy propaganda tool, a recent trending topic should remove any doubt.
The Chinese-owned platform has gone beyond Tide Pod-eating and Kia-stealing memes. Now TikTok’s algorithms are promoting pro-terrorist statements.
The videos feature a parade of mush-for-brains leftists justifying the 9/11 attacks based on an inflammatory and deceitful “Letter to America” written by Osama bin Laden.
Time reported on the resurgence of bin Laden’s distorted beliefs, fueled by the ongoing operations in Gaza. Leftists want Israel to declare a cease-fire after Hamas terrorists launched mass attacks on civilians on Oct. 7.
Time noted that The Guardian, which published bin Laden’s letter in 2002, took it down on Wednesday, but an archived copy remains available.
In it, bin Laden accuses the U.S. of attacking the imaginary state of “Palestine,” among other offenses.
X user End Wokeness shared a sample of the gullible TikTokers swayed by the al-Qaida leader’s manifesto explaining why he massacred innocent Americans.
The post was captioned, “TikTok has now rehabilitated Osama Bin Laden. 9/11 was justified and an act of resistance, they say. Decolonization is a death cult.”
WARNING: The following video contains language that some viewers will find offensive.

“Reading this letter, it becomes apparent to me that the actions of 9/11 and those acts committed against the USA and its people were all just the build-up of our government failing other nations,” one TikTok user said.
Another user posted a video with the caption, “reading [bin Laden’s] letter to America knowing he was right.” Others said the letter “explains so much” and will “blow your mind.”
The popular Libs of TikTok account added more examples.

This support of bin Laden is a direct result of viewing the world through a Marxist lens.
In this worldview, the victims of terror had it coming due to the actions of whatever “oppressor” group they can be associated with. The “oppressed” group is always noble, no matter what heinous, unprovoked actions they take.
In fact, to the “resistors,” there is no such thing as an unprovoked attack. The proper remedy is always ruthless extermination and revenge.
This flawed dichotomy of oppressors and oppressed is why the left is almost always in support of Muslims, despite the two groups having polar opposite views on most significant issues.
Journalist Megyn Kelly provided perspective on how such reprehensible attitudes came to be, and how wiser citizens will respond.
After calling out the parents of these monsters for failing to educate their children in history and morality, Kelly concluded, “Trust me when I tell you that the majority of Americans – this generation and the next – will fight to defeat the pernicious lunacy you’ve unleashed. And we will win.”
To the parents of all of these losers suddenly persuaded by the deranged musings of the man who murdered 3k American innocents: you failed. You were likely boozing, marching for some L-wing cause and/or simply ignoring your kids. You failed to teach wrong from right, a proper…

It is a short step from supporting violence to committing it, especially when a person’s conscience has been poisoned to believe villainy is heroic.
Perhaps just as sickening is that a Chinese social media platform is turning Americans into enemies.
A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:
I walked into the office one morning and noticed something strange. Half of The Western Journal’s readership was missing.
It had finally happened. Facebook had flipped THE switch.
Maybe it was because we wrote about ivermectin. Or election integrity. Or the Jan. 6 detainees. Or ballot mules.
Whatever the reason, I immediately knew what to do. We had to turn to you because, frankly, we know you are the only ones we can trust.
Can you help? Every donation to The Western Journal goes directly to funding our team of story researchers, writers and editors who doggedly pursue the truth and expose the corrupt elites.
Can I count on you for a small donation? We operate on a shoestring compared to other news media companies, so I can personally promise that not a penny of your donation will be wasted.
If you would rather become a WJ member outright, you can do that today as well.
We will use every single cent to fight against the lies and corruption in high places. And as long as we have your help, we will never give up.
Sincerely,
Josh Manning

How can social media platforms combat the spread of extremist content and take greater accountability for their role in disseminating propaganda
Es clear that leftists are willing to support and defend even the most heinous acts of terrorism, as long as it aligns with their distorted worldview. Their blind hatred for Israel has driven them to embrace a terrorist like Osama bin Laden, who was responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent people on September 11, 2001.
This disturbing trend on TikTok highlights the dangerous impact of social media platforms in spreading extremist ideologies and misinformation. It is deeply concerning that algorithms on a platform owned by a Chinese company are promoting content that justifies and supports terrorism. This raises questions about the platform’s integrity and its potential role in disseminating propaganda.
The situation is further exacerbated by the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The recent hostilities between Israel and Hamas have provided a backdrop for leftists to amplify their anti-Israel sentiments and justify acts of violence. The call for a cease-fire by leftists, without understanding the complexity of the situation, shows a lack of nuance and a refusal to acknowledge the threat posed by Hamas.
The fact that The Guardian, a respected news outlet, had initially published bin Laden’s letter in 2002 further underscores the problem. While it is understandable that the letter has been removed from their website, its mere existence and dissemination highlight the potential for extremist ideologies to reach a wider audience.
The TikTok video shared by End Wokeness is a stark reminder of the dangerous ideas being circulated on social media. By justifying the 9/11 attacks and labeling decolonization as a death cult, these users not only disrespect the victims of terrorism but also propagate harmful narratives that seek to undermine stability and promote violence.
It is imperative that we recognize the gravity of this situation and take appropriate measures to combat the spread of extremist content on social media platforms. This includes stricter regulations, increased monitoring, and greater accountability for platforms that fail to address this issue adequately. Additionally, platforms should seriously consider the ethical implications of their algorithms and take steps to prevent the promotion of dangerous ideologies.
Furthermore, it is essential for individuals to critically evaluate the content they consume and be aware of the potential biases and agendas behind it. It is far too easy for misinformation, propaganda, and extremist ideologies to influence public opinion, and it is our responsibility as consumers to question and verify the information we come across.
The support for Osama bin Laden among leftists on TikTok is a clear example of how ideological extremism can manifest on social media. It serves as a stark reminder of the need for vigilance, critical thinking, and responsible consumption of online content in an increasingly digital world.
Ultimately, it is our collective responsibility to ensure that social media platforms are not exploited to spread hatred, violence, or extremism. By addressing this issue head-on and promoting a culture of empathy, understanding, and respect, we can strive to create a safer and more informed online environment for everyone.
