    One of the propaganda strategies used by troll farms is to pretend like harmful ideologies are subjective.

    Since 2016 the people saying “too many people said the word Nazi so it’s not worth evaluating if someone is a nazi” were literal troll farm employees from Russia and China.

      The significance of whether or not that is true pales in comparison to whether or not the argument is effective, because the argument is EXTREMELY effective and your “truth” affects nothing but your own ego. They will do and say anything they can to get you to call them a Nazi. Obviously you know nothing about Alex Jones.

          No, yeah, that is exactly what I was saying

          Basically me:

          Being mean to Nazis? That’s a no from me dog. We can stop them by coddling them. That’s right. Coddle Nazis. Coddle them. I love advocating for coddling Nazis. But just to not seem too eager, I’m going to couch my message in some adversarial language that has literally nothing to do with coddling Nazis. Yeah, that will work. No one will suspect that they are being covertly coerced into coddling Nazis, in order to stop them.

          I think I’m going to flush my face in the urinal now. Bobbing for urinal cakes. That sounds less tedious than this.

          Jesus fuck, were we invaded by StrawMantinople this morning???
