    Yeah, but the difference is that they are possibly redeemable, contrary to the elite pushing that crap.

    • Elite that know what they’re doing? → Gulag → Forced work for the rest of their miserable life, IDGAF.
    • Person who was manipulated in being an angry fascist through lies and fear? → rehabilitation → back to a happy life

      Exactly.

      I’m a leftist living in a rural southern area. I encounter these people every day. The vast majority of people have had their sources of information deliberately poisoned and their views are rational but they’re built on lies (which, again, are deliberately created to have this effect).

      Yeah, there are definitely bigots and people who would support this crap even without the massive disinformation campaign. But, most of them are ignorant and being misled.

      Those people can have their views changed if the firehose of bullshit is interrupted. This is impossible if you’re creating an environment where you’re attacking people who are redeemable.

      Your enemy isn’t other poor people, your enemy is the elites who are deliberately poisoning people’s perception of the world in order to obtain power.

      It feels good to write angry, self-righteous crap online and be showered with upvotes. But, choosing to target other people in your class is a tactical error.

        Someone needs to write the propaganda leaflets to spread in their barracks I guess.

        Can’t say it’s ever been proven that effective but you’ll get a couple of them out before the majority has to be shot to prevent their conquests and murders.

          Whatever the way through this is, it does not involve killing our own countrymen.

              Well, good luck with promoting violence on a public social media website while the fascists have power and control the FBI. To me, that tells me that you’re either not in the US (because you’re working at an internet research company) and trying to stoke tensions or that you’re blind to the actual danger that you are facing because you’re too busying trying to dunk on idiots.

              The ones in power are the ones you should be mad at, the ones who are creating a far right government that is surrounding itself with private corporate power and dismantling the US Government.

              Not the people on Facebook who think that eating ivermectin will protect them against a pandemic.

              One group is actively taking steps, every single day, to alter the foundation of our country. One group was useful idiots who’s use is over now that they cast their vote.
