I’m at work and can’t use my volume. So have no idea what’s going on here.

First tiktok by @/tuutoe: (text-to-speech voice) “School will never teach you this. Humanity’s deepest sec-”
Second tiktok by @/tofology: “This is Nazi shit. This is Nazi shit, and you guys gave it over a million likes. Before I get to the Nazi shit — and I will — just a couple of fact checks.”
<clip from first tiktok: “Why did Buzz delete this tweet?”> “Buzz Aldrin never said that. That’s a Photoshop job from 2016.”

It’s a racist fairy tale used to perpetuate white supremacy and justify violence.
