Disclaimer: I know the flag looks like shit. I didn't really try and make a well done, symmetric n**i flag. The entire point is to illustrate the general intent, not to make a symmetric "asshole flag".
Edit: the sample size isn't that big yet, but around 20% (19.51% as of this edit) of downvotes is definitely uncannily aligned with the average percentage of far right voters... (I'd show data from the US too, but you guys haven't yet learned how to count to three in politics... So data is severely lacking.)
That doesn’t even matter, they will literally use anything as ammunition. There isn’t a “more” or “less” convincing set of arguments they use to make their point, they just say a lot of things all the time and go with what seems to stick.
I'm kinda in agreement with you. The right has a seemingly limitless supply of ammo, but I don't see that as a case for not caring if someone gives them more.
All it takes are bad slogans to entrench their beliefs. "All cops are bastards", "math is racist", "defund the police", and "all white people are racist" make them think the left are insane.
More than anything, this is a war of optics, the left are more educated, more tolerant, more generous, and if we are going to deconvert anyone from the right, we need to show them we aren't morons.
Reflexively jumping to Godwin's law is the fastest way to lose.
You're clearly not actually a leftist, but it's also clear why you'd like to consider yourself one.
Here's a free tip: you are none of things you describe if you're willing to "give Nazis a chance".
Where did I say I was giving Nazis a chance?
Also to claim im not "actually leftist" is a No True Scotsman fallacy.
