I wish more people understand that repeating a conservative #meme to debunk it *only serves to spread the meme*.

Don’t repeat memetic #propaganda, even to criticize it. Certain phrases and memes are popular among bigots because they are effective at turning bigotry into seemingly fun wordplay. By repeating it (even with a big red slash across it) YOU ARE SPREADING THE HATEFUL MEME.

Treat viral bigoted memes like the radioactive waste that they are. Don’t repost them at all if you can. If you must, address them obliquely or abstractly, or hide them behind protective material to shield the casual reader from exposure.

Remember, MOST people browse their timelines without reading anything closely. If you repost a bigoted meme, they’ll view the meme but not your post, and you would have inadvertently spread the meme that much further along.

@drahardja right? remember when people were going around with maga-style hats with messages of resistance on them? and how you couldn't really read them without getting up close so it just looked like a person in a maga hat? it's like that.
