Worried about the WW3 things

TikTok and Instagram have a lot of WW3 ‘memes’ going round, is there some truth behind this? Are we going to be expected to go to war

They're just joking if they're the same ones I've seen
Stop going on there if it worries you

These multiple WWIII posts are getting very suspicious now. I mean, who is getting their geo-political info from TikTok?!

Sure, if there is going to be the WW3, you’ll hear about it first on Tik Tok.

I suggest you take a step from social media if it makes you anxious.
There are so many threads talking about the same thing, people lost their critical thinking skills.

It’s just jokes just not funny ones. Seriously. I’ve seen the same ‘end is nigh’ talking several times over the last few decades but we didn’t have the chance to make memes about it.

But seriously why are you on TikTok if social media clearly makes you anxious?

I must be old. I thought TikTok was for kids? Who needs to watch the news when you can rely on TikTok and Instagram. 🙃

Aposterhasnoname · 27/06/2025 06:38

Tic tok? Really.

Kids are the very last people who should be on tiktok.

Social media isn't for you.

TranceNation · 27/06/2025 08:07

It will never happen.

ilovesooty · 27/06/2025 08:13

Not again.

I think we were far more at risk of world war 3 in the 80,s but we didn't have the internet than
Realistically there's absolutely nothing any of us can do.if it started.

All of these regional conflicts will not end up with World War III.

There’s a lot going round at the moment to generate clicks and sell papers.

If the Russians sent a nuclear bomb to a NATO country they know it would be suicide as they would get them back in return.

Likewise, NATO won’t nuke Russia because they know they would get Russian nukes back in return.

Both sides know this.

The world came far closer to WWIII in the 60s but it didn’t happen.

Stop worrying and start living.

I think that the number of people who rely on tiktok and Instagram to know what's going on in the world is far more of a concern than ww3.

Yes, I think it was originally aimed at teens but a lot of adults act like teens nowadays and use it anyway
