Even if the small number of posts like that become the large amount that are seen the impact they have on people’s perceptions is very observable. The more it is repeated the more people will genuinely believe it.

It was about Nazism, which is an ideology that was primarily held by a nation as a result of Hitler exploiting the poor and desolate’s anger about their condition to make them consider white aryans above all else, especially Jews. But you can’t just take the bad without taking the good. White people were also fighting against Nazism.

If you’re gonna engage, engage. Don’t just devalue a very real positive impact on cultures worldwide and pivot to nazism. That’s ridiculous lmao

Then don’t imply you want to have an intellectualized debate by engaging in a manner that is not clearly a joke. It’s an app about connecting communities, on a sub called “US politics” where 90% of people are here to have debates (whether they’re good at it or not). Don’t cry when people can’t tell you’re having a laugh lmfaooo

I get that but if you take one look in this sub you’d see stupid ideas like that are being entertained. I’m only on here cuz work is slow rn, like most other people that come on here and rationally say “that’s stupid. You’re stupid.”

I understand now you’re not being 100% serious and I apologize on that front, I’m just saying that it gets to a point where you can’t tell because there isn’t exactly a tone signal to tell you if it’s a joke or not
