Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
This is also the correct approach for those liberals that are like "why should I care about Palestine?" I like to hit them with "because your tax dollars are going to blow up children instead of fixing our roads and paying for you to be healthy and have a nice environment". It's certainly the least empathetic path to get someone to support your side, but when it comes to stopping a genocide, we don't have a lot of leverage which is crazy
The only problem with this approach is that it still enables the pacifying force of fascism.
"Fine, we will give you free healthcare and fix the roads, genocides still happening though".
It's basically the same "we will do genocide, but bring out a rainbow flag occasionally and allow trans people to partake" that the Dems do now, just more concessions towards the populace.
Oh, absolutely. It's like the first step into cracking the thick dome libs build up around their ideology and many more steps have to be taken if you can get through to them even a little bit
