Yes, the image in today's tweet from DHS is fascist propaganda, very similar to fascist propaganda from Nazi Germany in the 1930s.

And when you share it unmodified ... you're amplifying fascist propaganda. Why are you doing that?

It's easy not to share fascist propaganda -- just don't share the image. Or, if you think it's important for people to see it, then take the time to deface it first -- a big red X over it, or "FASCIST PROPAGANDA" in big red letters to get the point across.

Good point. Another antifascist fave for this kind of defacement is the symbol of a black circle with 3 black arrows pointing downward

@ophiocephalic Also a good option! Hmm, I wonder if we have the  emoticon here?

EDIT: apparently not, or maybe I'm just doing it wrong.

EDIT AGAIN: and now we do, so I'm seeing it -- and hopefully you are too!

It's one of Kolektiva's custom emojis, but y'all can grab it

We should be able to add it! Probably @manisha or @jonny would know how (to add a custom emoji to our server)?

Added two versions, idk why anyone can't add emoji. Testing if they are case sensitive

I guess they are case insensitive, so I only added one version

Cool! Thank you!!
I can see two types :
 
:ironFront:

Edit: strange, only one shows as image in the post, the other doesn't actually translate to an image for me, although I see these two in my custom emoji list

RADICALIZE THE EMOJI!!!!!!

EDIT: yeah, I'm also only seing the lower-case one as an image. probably some case sensitivity inconsistency. software, amirite?

@jdp23 @ophiocephalic I see it in your post, even if you don't.
Show threadJon1d ago

Thanks! They've updated the emoji here so it now exists, and I'm seeing it too!

@jdp23 I actually haven't seen the image you're referring to but that whole timeline reads like 1929 Germany.
Show threadJon1d ago

@fyrfli if you haven't seen it, either the people you're following are more unanmously making good choices than the peeople I'm following ... or maybe you just spent less time on here today than I did. Or both!

but yeah, it's a very fascist timeline. not much we can do about it -- fascists gonna fash. but we don't h ve to help them!!!!!
