One 18-year-old TikToker from the Irish Republic says he will keep dancing until there is a united Ireland

can be more certain of success than a paint shop in Belfast. Locals on both sides of Northern Ireland’s sectarian divide love the stuff. Two decades after the “Troubles”, a bloody conflict that ran from 1968-98, the colours of kerbstones and murals are still as useful to passers-by as any map: plenty of green in nationalist areas; lots of red, white and blue in unionist ones. The culture war, at least, goes on.

The videos mix TikTok staples like strobing lights and quickfire dance routines with tropes more familiar to previous generations of republican propagandists. Rebel songs provide the soundtrack. “There’s a strange mixture of the very local and the international language of TikTok,” says Duncan Morrow of Ulster University.

Trump says he has approved a deal for TikTokPresident Donald Trump said Saturday he has approved a deal between TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, and Oracle, temporarily averting a ban on TikTok in US app stores. Its funny how Tiktok only came u der his radar....RIGHTTTT before an election. Is he gonna use that to try and sway votes? That he saved the day and saved Tiktok? It's sarcastic because it's a partnership and the parent company is still Bytedance located in China, i.e., nothing basically has changed. Also, everyone knows it's social media you post your daily life on it so everyone could watch. That's a new definition of spy lol? Wtf Total bs deal Bytedance still owns it.
