Nayanjyoti's roundup of proletarian TikTok in India for the political webzine Raiot includes videos of rural workers, workers on the long walk home, workers goofing off, construction workers goofing off, reaction videos, lipsynched labor, and synchronized solidarity between dancers in Korea and dancers in south India. The Indian government banned Tiktok along with 58 other Chinese apps on 29th June 2020 in the name of ‘national security’.
Neat! (The ceiling stucco guys are particularly cool.)
I'm struggling to convince my old-man-yelling-at-clouds brain to consider 15 second films seriously. But, that's my problem, not theirs.
