    In all honesty, let them have it. Let them out themselves, let them put it on record. Let them burn themselves for the future.

      That’s how it always begins. I disagree. Fascists will never peacefully claim a place or burn out. They need to be barred and removed.

      I say we collectively defed from them.

        Okay, I agree. I reflected on my original statement today and changed my opinion after talking about it with my peers in the real-world.

    Meh. I’d rather they have their meeting places out in the light like this than hidden away in the dark web or something.

    Just block, defed, move on. No need to feed their narrative of being the last bulwark against the bad guys by dogpiling them. People are allowed to be wrong and you won’t change their minds by storming in all righteous at them anyway. That will just entrench them more.

    If you truly want to turn them, there’s plenty of studies and research done on how to actually influence people and change minds. Some of it is even in leaked classified intelligence agency field guides, which is a fun way to end up on a list!

      Also, I think it’s a good thing that I sometimes wonder that maybe I’m in the echo chamber. Maybe my mental health is fucked up because I surround myself with angry liberals. I feel like it’s almost good to read differing opinions.

      I never end up agreeing with them so I guess that’s good but questioning yourself is probably good.

        maybe I’m in the echo chamber

        I always try to have that in mind when I talk to my SO. I usually say “I’ve read X and lemmy but lemmy is VERY left bla bla”. Not to invalidate what I read here, but to be mindful of my sources.

        There’s no echo chamber when you’re surrounding yourself with people that don’t want to kill and harass others for simply being themselves. You’re not in one.

        Fascists on the other hand, are certainly in an echo chamber.

          You are literally saying “I’m not in an echo chamber, the people that disagree with me are.” I think it’s good to question yourself once in a while.

            Ah, a false appeal to a majority.

            Yes, sometimes that majority can be wrong. If I don’t call for people to die horribly simply because they’re not allowed to abort, which would save their life, does it make me the problem? Or what with people who shout people should be murdered because they’re Jewish/Muslim/atheist whatever?

            No, the problem lies with the oligarchs fueling that hatred.

            Anyway, thanks for adding one to the block list!

    damn, i gotta check out that place later. i wonder how MAGA will interact with the fediverse. like, how can you be anarchistic and bootlicking at the same time?

    edit: this is hilarious.

    bootlicking: check ✅️

    “especially towards Americans”

    well, at least this one i can understand. Now i have to think about What the Turtle said to Achill, somehow.

    I thought they already had a few instances: Reddit, X, (Un)Truth Social, FB, and soon TikTok.

    The US just can’t seem to get over the Confederacy.

    I think we failed in the re-education process and should have adopted something similar to post WWII Germany and crushing out nazism.

    Call themselves “patriots”-

    Then actively support a rapist that shits on the constitution on a daily basis.

    safe from the madness and censorship of the fediverse.

    Sounds like they explicitly don’t want to federate. Unless it’s a parody site, I guess.

    There are more comments in this thread alone than this MAGA site will probably ever host. (Trolls and spammers motivated by this thread don’t count 😆 )

    And honestly? The biggest takeaway from these comments is how many users don’t understand the difference between a protocol and a platform.
