bananas_pizza@Motorod wait, did Kirk really said the first paragraph?
Gabriel Pettier@alihan_banan @Motorod i think only the sentences in quotes are citations.
But i think we all need to verify everything (inc. quotes) about him, i’ve seen people on the left jumping to conclusion faster than i’m comfortable with, if we want to convince people on the right that we are right, we need to make sure we have more than some unverified and out of context quotes. I see people who had a *very* different vision of him than me, and they clearly spent a lot of time listening to him.

if we want to convince people on the right that we are right, we need to make sure we have more bullshit hooked up to the firehose of fiction than they can fact check.
FTFY
As we all should know by now, you don’t fight disinformation with information. They can produce 5x more disinformation than you can fact check. Hit them with an overwhelming flood of counter disinformation hard enough to make them lose track of reality. Flood them with so many lies that they begin to believe some of them. Go on the offensive and target beliefs they weren’t prepared to form opinions on. We’re talking about Charlie Kirk, racism, the woke brain left? Hit their favorite restaurant and a church they used to go to. Talk about how they discovered a pedophile ring in the Sunday school. Then switch to the nanoplastic injections of the beef patties. Keep the target moving faster than they can respond.
@ClickyMcTicker @alihan_banan @Motorod yeah no, i’m not on that team, sorry, if they catch us doing the same, they’ll stop listening to us, i know i can’t convince the people who aren’t going to even check things, but some will, if i give them something that seem worth checking. But if i give them bad things a couple times, i’ll lose them. People who are not full of hate when i talk to them, but when they see opinions from the left, it’s the most foreign to them so they think the left is crazy.
@tshirtman @ClickyMcTicker @Motorod yeah, keeping the integrity and consistency is important, but being polite and politically correct, while far right lunatics spit out "they are eating the dogs" bs and directly tell people that some people can be killed because they are "libs" or "wrong conservatives" etc, it just seems like knocking on the wrong door. I think left needs someone like Zohran Mamdani to be hyped up more - charismatic, honest, young and consistent politician.
