bro, this logic of thinking that only stupid people fall for propaganda is only useful to make you feel intelligent and reinforces the right-wing. There's plenty of evidence this is not how it works. Get your shit together, and find another activity to feed your ego.
Probably the same people have been targeted over and over by the same videos. TikTok users likely watch dozens of videos per day and the views add up quickly.
Everything made by humans can be destroyed by humans. No social system is forever. The rest is just skill issue.
because there are no viable alternatives for large outreach.
There's plenty of neo-nazis in the Free Software movement. It's "Free Software", not "Free People"
I'm part of many local orgs and I'm not talking about "organizing over social media", but rather to discuss the topics surrounding the practice and theory of organization building with other people interested in the topic and practicing it.
Well, Obsidian, Notion, Anytype, Affine can give you a hint of possible directions in this transition. While they still retain document-oriented features, like the concept of Page, they also try to really go for a much richer experience that does away with the limitations inherited from paper-based solutions. Double-linking, composability, fractal properties of pages and nesting (especially in Notion and Anytype), block-based UI, seamless integration of text, databases, and embeds, heavy use of transclusion and other stuff like that.
I would say this alternative system is far from cohesive and mature, but it's clear some software is emancipating itself from whatever Onlyoffice represents.

The mistake of this logic is to believe that this betrayal of electoral logic won't radicalize people. It is a necessary step. There are now 11 Million French people, many of which probably don't believe much in electoralism but vote anyway, who are furious at what's happening.
People don't change their mind listening to arguments, they change their mind living experiences. The experience of joy after winning, followed by the disregard of democratic logic by Macron, will mobilize an insane amount of popular energy, contrary to snarky "electoralism doesn't work" comments that are relatable only to a microscopic niche of edgy, maximalist leftists.
At a demo some weeks ago in Berlin I definitely saw them chasing a kid that was 12 or younger, but luckily he was swift and disappeared into the crowd that was starting to surround and corner the police after they charged the crowd from the side into an otherwise completely relaxed demo. Obviously, the kid was arab.
Police in Germany is composed of pigs as much as any other police force.
Larping as a tankie is definitely a thing of immature, terminally online kids, but I wouldn't throw Lenin in the bunch. While Stalin is mostly condemned as a reactionary psychopath by pretty much everybody except a few leftist basement-dwellers, Lenin is still read and taught throughout the world. Nothing edgy in reading Lenin.
Edgy kids on the internet worship other psychopaths like Pol Pot or Hoxha.
