these are just bait tbh, don't be a photo op

What do you mean by being a photo?

[-] MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 10 months ago

Yes, when you take these down, they will use this as ammunition to legitimize their deranged claims of antisemitism, etc about people who are opposed to genocide.

Even if they don't see you doing it, they will make videos about how they posted a sign and then it was removed. They don't need to catch you to pretend that they are martyrs.

Is it more harmful to leave propaganda around though?

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 8 points 10 months ago

I'd rather not take the risk of giving them a viral photo op, not a lot of people are gonna read that paper anyway.

[-] thirtymilliondeadfish@hexbear.net 8 points 10 months ago

it's not like there's any constructive use for them anyway. HAVE YOU SEEN THIS PERSON? CALL 1800-TIPLINE NOW

Not sure. My first instinct is also to take them down, but I figure videos and pictures that can be used as much more damaging and lasting forms of propaganda are something I shouldn't give them the opportunity to gather from me.

It's fucking dumb, but it's the game that's played and its successfully used to demonize leftists.

is the propaganda a swastika or a child. One of these is socially appropriate to remove
