so just out of the blue a thought occurred to me. There should be a clandestine operation in line with conspiracy theories, but done for chaotic good.
You know, like someone sets up fake news orgs. like they have putting out heaps of garbage disinfo, but have it run counter to the far right.
Some example headlines:
ICE agents caught up in a massive homosexual rape 'hazing' ring. Really plays up the homophobic vibe these dickheads ride on.
Local sheriff department hiding illegal immigrants because they're in charge of the annual BBQ (and somewheres in the article the locals who go to the bbq have eaten the cats...they've eaten the dogs!
Name and shame the proud boys and other Nazi orgs with their Only Fans accounts.
the ol' just asking questions: Is Vance a secret Jew?
shit like that.
Abandoning facts seems like a bad idea.
looks at need media oh...well...as long as we're all being 100% truthful I guess it's a bad idea
The only thing which distinguishes us from fascists is principles. "Facts" are not something I am willing to abandon, on principle, at least not on the strategic level.
As a discrete tactic, sure, lie to ICE, lie to cops - but when we're talking about lying to everyone, that's over the line for me.
Propaganda goes both ways. What I think could be done is to capitalize on their phobias and prejudices.
So I guess, also, was that I wasn't talking with you, so I'm going to pick up my ball and go home pouting.
You keep your moral high ground, I'm going to find me a Bear Jew to go play baseball.
good thing other opinions on this matter exist
