I hate that we keep rolling the dice on platforming these out-and-about fascists.
I understand that there are some that will be so disgusted with seeing this spoken out-loud that they'll solidify their resistance to fascism, but there's always this small chance that there will be more people attracted to fascist political movements than repelled from them.
I don't feel like I have a good handle on the overall sentiment in reactionary-coded spaces to say for sure, but jesus christ does it make me nervous whenever I see these clips go viral.
This is how I feel about all the subreddits and communities here that aim to post right wing content to either make fun of, get the word out, or just display the depravity of the right wing. Just because you added a title that's mocking a fascist tweet, and the community is speaking out against it in the comments, doesn't change the fact that you're increasing the spread of filth. That post is getting more and more eyes on it than it would have if nobody had engaged with it at all. We're spreading their propaganda for them.
They do this shit to "trigger the libs" and seeing their racist diatribes being spread on social media is exactly what they want. Hell plenty of news and media broadcasters do this too. Twitter posts are referenced in articles and on TV all the time.
I get it, we need to be aware of these freaks and stand up against it, but I'm conflicted because we're inadvertently helping them reach a larger audience.
