Counter narrative: just say "nuh uh" over and over.
Content: just do a heckin racism.
If you suggest Ukraine has Nazis, I'm going to provide you joyful content. Intellectual checkmate.
Anyway, here’s this cute picture of a police dog. What were we talking about again?
seriously, what is this supposed to prove? Can I counter "putin is a dictator" with pictures of him on a horse? Certainly not, that would be absurd.
It's not supposed to counter anything. Thought terminating cliches work by giving people an easy way to shut down an argument without encountering any of it's content.
It's not supposed to prove anything, just shut the other person up by being a pain to deal with. It probably works.
"Putin has dictatorial control" --> memes calling Putin gay
idk if anybody remembers but when trump was first running they had spreadsheets in /r/thedonald exactly like this. seems like its something that the lanyard folks have standardized and honestly might be useful to start making some leftist versions so we can just dialogue tree the npc responses w the least amount of individual effort required
Rightmost side of the leftist version is full of paragraphs and citations
It should be full of personal attacks and emotional appeals. I thought the science was settled; Well argued debates with lots of sources entrench people in their wrong positions instead of helping them out. Whereas polemic actually works and does what it's supposed to do.
yea that's why it would be nice to have the citations laid out for me so i dont have to start a spreadsheet myself of citations to common talking points lmao.
i usually just use the hexbear search function ngl but a dedicated spreadsheet would be nice.
the left is not in danger of losing internet arguments. that's like the only thing we're good at.
Tbh, I see a lot of Lemmygrad people not adapting to their audience over on lemmy.ml. They will say things that are "correct", but they are either too trollish (without going full "bully the libs" mode which works for the "good cop" follow up), or they post things that would work better on their "home turf".
u could probably scroll thru beehaw or something similar to get the gist of the typical arguments and talking points
So the solution to the “US has a hawkish history” problem is to tell fairy tales? About smol bean America?
the bible is about the collapse of satanic imperialist slave empires...totally unrelated I'm sure
Ok, but I've got these counter-narratives next to them, so aktuly these are strengths now.
What the fuck is this eighth-grade bullshit? Aren't you supposed to go "counter-signals" into "counter-narrative"? Don't you at least want to pretend you have evidence that contradicts Russian 'signals'?
Counter narrative would imply you have a single fact to back that claim
Who cares that Zelensky was an actor? Trump was too, nothing for his corruption?

Can me speaks lanyard who someone for? Stroke having think I I'm a.
Sarah, you are currently in the matrix.
This isn't real. None of it is.
Wake up.
Wake the fuck up.
showing up to the first day of Propaganda School and taking notes in crayon that say things like "Our guy = Gud" and "There guy = BAD"
This gave me a legitimate giggle in an otherwise stressful morning:
Foreign leaders and Steven Seagal.
Palestine = Russia as liberator.
Putin is powerful and dangerous is not true because he's also a dictator who can't be stopped from doing genocide except by jokes.
Ukrainian Nazis -> Joyful Content
Do not acknowledge Zelensky's career!
