'tiktoks out loud' and any other form of boise pollution is just the tragedy of the commons. it just happens. you can't stop it, unless you heavily police individual behavior-- which could be, yeah, fascist. but it's also important to consider that unfettered, unregulated access to public space is literally a thought experiment. Access to public space has always been regulated by laws, rules, + social stigma/conventions. your public parks has rules. your city has noise ordinances. your public library has noise rules. it's not inherently fascist to have rules or guidelines in a space.

yeah ofc i can handle it, i would probably "handle" lethal violence in public if i had to as well, but fuck that like why is someone dying your go-to point of comparison? why should i have to like, endure being in a public space rather than use it with comfort when it's mine too and i pay taxes to maintain it lmfao? i'm poor, my flat is tiny, i can't just stay home all day if i don't want to be constantly aggravated...tiktoks are just 100% obnoxious for literally no reason and a pair of headphones is like 5 eur. i'm fine with people talking loudly because public space should be for socializing, playing music on a bluetooth is whatever since i can vibe to some reggaeton or trap, but making people around you listen to a cacophonous equivalent of zapping through TV channels because you lack the theory of mind to realize you're being annoying makes you an unsocialized fucking idiot. it's literally the equivalent of littering

whenever a non-white person says it’s okay to play tiktoks w no headphones in public, i see that they get racially disparaged and called slurs sometimes, so maybe that’s where the white supremacist accusation comes from?

the idea that "people shouldn't blast tiktoks on full volume on a crowded train" is somehow white supremacist is fully retarded sorry. sure let's just start shitting in the streets too since nobody is owed comfort in a public space
