    someone in another thread was trying to tell me i’m not helping when i troll nazis. this is why everyone should troll nazis, and loudly

    Pattern 1 The Majority Goes Silent

    When the majority of people looks at the feed and assumes they’re outnumbered, people will often self-censor.3 The dynamic replicates on social media17 — fear of social isolation suppresses opinion expression on platforms where it’s perceived to be unwelcome. They go quiet, or they leave a platform entirely. They cede the space to users with more extreme politics.

    fuck that shit. see a nazi in the wild? mock them, shame them, ridicule them. laugh them out of the fucking room, until they have only their ever-dwindling circlejerk nazi echo chamber to retreat to, which is also full of people they can’t stand

      That’s the way. It’s not only to make Nazis re-think their life choices (they avoid thinking anyways), but also to reassure all sane people who might read that, that fascizm is NOT a new norm.

      Either this Person was an idiot, a nazi or forgot to give you Tips for improvement (for example punching Nazis is always the better option than trolling them, if possible)

    The community check thing is neat, but runs into the same problem as any other polling or survey aggregation. Those on the unpopular side of an issue take offence and declare the poll invalid while presenting some other one that suits their purpose.

    Which station was it recently that did a poll to say 100% of respondents (selected from far right self described extreme maga fans) believe Trump is awesome?

    Lies, damn lies, and statistics
