We’re not reaching people by circle-jerking in largely leftist spaces like this, we reach people by going into their spaces and mixing with the morons and zombies and shoving their face in reality. When did progressives get so fucking soft FFS
I say that a lot, it doesn’t go over well in spaces like Lemmy where the average user has been locked in their room for a week straight with their discord polycule obsessing about the latest poorly written anime.
I have and do change people in real life, it’s far easier than it seems but we have a generation of incredibly isolated and avoidant young people who see even the slightest resistance or friction as a massive, insurmountable obstacle which signifies you shouldn’t even try and everything is hopeless.
I agree with this. I’ll even say fine follow the ugly conventions in those spaces and use watermarks to push people to leftist channels on those platforms.
That said, we are deep in the trenches here in this Lemmy community, not in the friendly outreach programs, so when dropping your meme here specifically, crop that bullshit out.

Back in my day we had standards and people were expected to crop out all that bullshit before posting a meme.
and not just any social media: threads
Arguably, the BEST place to post these memes.

The master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house. Reach them in the workplace, at home, in actual reality.

You should watch the film “Threads” from 1981 I think.
