    doesn’t give the fascists ammunition that will be used against us

    This is exactly what I was arguing against:

    they will shoot you no matter what with

    Remind yourself of every baseless lie the fascists have spread lately.

    Why do you think that the Mexican flag is what is tipping anything over right now?

    Remember immigrant caravans? With pictures blasted all over the Fox news?

    There was a photo yesterday on Lemmy of a fallen over trash can with 50 photographers taking picture.

    Reality doesn’t stop fascists, and those very minor details aren’t what’s making us lose the battle.

    It’s not standing up for our principles.

    Freedom, equity, tolerance, and punching fascists right into their face.

    You stop doing any of that, and you will lose. No matter how ‘good’ your ‘optics’ are.


  • Counter-agrument:

    middle-of-the-road approach only helps the opressing party, not the opressed

    If we want to improve things, we should decisively explain that migrants are not the problem, never were, most hate towards them is unfounded and misplaced.

    Then we might start looking at the core problem, not dancing around Jeb who watches latina porn but cocks his shotgun when he sees skin darker than porcelain around his house or in his TV.

    Migrants do more for the country than most ‘patriots’, and deserve to be proud of their heritage.

    Fascists will keep lying about everything regardless of reality, never care about what bad faith actors may say.
