schratzedon't spread nazi propaganda

don't spread nazi propaganda
"but what if they made a typo"
"but what if it's so unhinged that it's funny"
"but what if I have a really funny reply"
no
stop
don't spread nazi propaganda
"but people have to be aware of fascist propaganda!"
Yes, share info on it, talk about it, keep people informed. Fascist propaganda isn't all racial slurs and swastikas. People have to be made aware that even words like "cuck", "degenerate" or "asocial" are fascist propaganda. They have to know about the fascist background of many popular memes.
However,
DON'T SPREAD FASCIST PROPAGANDA
DON'T SHOW IT TO PEOPLE
ONLY EVER SHOW IT TO PEOPLE WITH PROPER AND THOROUGH CONTEXTUALIZATION
DON'T SHOW IT AT ALL IF YOU CAN AVOID IT
YOU CAN JUST EXPLAIN IT. YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPREAD IT
THAT'S HOW PROPAGANDA WORKS
THAT'S HOW MEMES WORK
THAT'S HOW IDEAS AND IMAGES GO VIRAL
DON'T
SPREAD
FASCIST
PROPAGANDA
Everything I have said in this thread applies to child porn and adjacent material, too
I wouldn't post this hadn't I just seen someone post child porn _adjacent_ material in order to criticize it
Honestly I have no idea what's going on in those people's heads
By the way, I'm only boosting this today because people LOVE spreading the images of Elon Musk doing the nazi salute everywhere.
An image of a rich and powerful man doing a nazi salute is fascist propaganda.
If you encounter a fascist sticker, a swastika graffito or a slogan in the wild, do not take photos and spread them around
Take proper precautions, peel off the sticker, paint over the graffito, or report the damage to the property owner
Make the propaganda disappear
Do not spread fascist propaganda

schuelermine@schratze So the linked post is an example of someone spreading propaganda without proper precautions?
Do not create imagery that looks like fascist propaganda and spread it around ironically

@schratze it's the same issue as quote tweeting a fascist to "dunk" on them. all you're doing is giving that shit more reach.
Jacob@schratze Or if you are going to share a before and after, at least obscure the fash shit pic with three arrows across the whole pic. Don't inadvertently become a photographer for the fash.
Überdurchschnittlauch@schratze
In addition if you find fascist propaganda online, i.e. on a platform x or y, do not spread them around by screenshots.
Do not spread fascist propaganda. Do not poison other peoples attention. Do not spread hate.
Androcat@schratze Same goes for obvious far-right provocations in the news : Do not quote the payload.
Do not attempt to "utilize" it.
Make it disappear.
Aaron@schratze Take a picture of the scene *after* it's been repaired, and share that instead!
@schratze Also, Trump's face is fascist propaganda. Treat it as such.
Cats Who Code
you know the drill 
draco@schratze I heard that sometimes fascists will hide razor blades under stickers. That's why "exercise caution" means: don't peel them off using your fingers.
A valid alternative to peeling off fash stickers: put other stickers on top.

The only proper way to share an image of a Nazi is them hanging from a noose.

@schratze I'm so surprised i didn't see the image yet and i mostly got no clue what's going on in the world thanks to my filters and my instance and my timeline being kinda chill
Kookie 🍪🇵🇸@schratze Yeah something recoils inside me when I see people putting that image everywhere. My dude you're still spreading a Nazi salute. Why are you doing the Nazi salute at me??
Cher Tailor@schratze Sanitize your memes before spreading! 💪😤🧼🧽🫧
cyborgneticz@schratze fucking feel this SO much
I have a paper coming out at some point that has fascist memes in it
I would NEVER just post those memes even though they're ridiculous
like
come on (you need the 5k word explanation and context, without that its just sharing propaganda)
🏳️🌈Quin@Cyborgneticz @schratze we need a strategy to combat propaganda, that is better than "ignore it" or "write 5k essays" (which essentially still is "ignore it", since few people read those essays).
As a society, we need mechanisms to identify, criticise, and label lies in politics, especially popular lies. Not only in academy, but reaching everyone.
We have created systems of idea collection and amplification, without quality control we can kiss our societies goodbye.
Meena@Cyborgneticz is that paper out yet?
@meena The final proofs are in so I'm waiting for it to come out! I had to remove the images to prevent being sued
@Cyborgneticz would you hate being sued over NAZI MEMES??
@meena I think that would have to be the most possible ridiculous experience of my life
can you imagine the judge being like 'Im sorry what'

@Cyborgneticz n.b.: The video you uploaded on vimeo "A Brief History of Neoliberalism" (https://vimeo.com/443233752) doesn't load for people who don't have a login because it's "not rated"
you have to set it for "All Audiences"

kæt@schratze I had to report a post of an acquaintance once. Seemed like a sensible person but posted a massive screenshot of utterly distasteful text on FB (they'd found somewhere and rightly found offensive) with weedy text at the top from this person (rightly) condemning it. But that's not what someone scrolling through would have seen, especially someone in the affected group on a past-experience fight/flight hair-trigger. They're usually an intelligent person: weird.
ArneBab@schratze And don’t quote Nazis if you cannot fully deconstruct all the falsehoods and dogwhistles in there with the quote.
Yes, this can take pages and pages just to take apart two sentences.
So don’t quote Nazis if you’re not prepared for that — and able to actually recognize all that has to be deconstructed.

This includes Shitter and Meta screenshots.

Tammi 𝆮 𓃠@schratze thank you for the reminder
infinite love ⴳ@schratze "asocial"???
@schratze oh huh did not realize that it had a second meaning, i was thinking psychologically
Sparkwave@schratze Okay, I wanna know why those words are fascist now
I've heard people use them and they probably don't mean what I think they mean

@schratze I agree with the thread as a whole but "cuck" originally refers to a fetish called cuckoldry which is just another name for voyeurism and asocial is referring to asocial personality disorder(?) these two things are not by themselves fascist propaganda it's how the words are used against people
Beaver
Li ~ Crystal System@schratze wait 'asocial' i can understand anti-social but isnt 'asocial' just 'i dont like / engage with social activities' generally, while anti-social tries to pain that as somehow a bad thing
can i get context on that?
