I get what you're saying and I don't think you're wrong - but at the same time playing nice and staying on topic hasn't really worked either. Obviously I'm not advocating for us to sling slurs around, but that the same time I think the people that the left would lose by mudslinging need to be brought to understand that we're trying to antagonize them *on purpose* to get them to slip up and diminish themselves in the eyes of the public. If anything it says more about them than it does us, it displays that they're thin skinned and puts their bigoted attitude on display by their response.
We're at the point in this thing that DJT can throw out 'presidential immunity' like pocket sand in order to send armed murderers at anyone he pleases whenever he wants, the least we can do is hit them with invective that *works*. The gloves have to come off at some point.
Thanks for replying! 💜 Oh, I must've misunderstood you! That's my bad. I absolutely agree, we do need to be more agressive and loud in our criticism to get our opponents angry and build ourselves up to unconvinced people. I've got no love for people who want/expect me or anyone else to play nice with the opeessors.
I should've specified that my specific problem with mudslinging is *when* (not always) it ends up bigoted, like the example with Joshua gave. Calling Elon "Elonia" may be effective, yes, but it is inherently bigoted and I've got no tolerance for that, ever. No leftist should. We can take off the gloves in plenty of ways ("eat the rich" or "ACAB" being perfect examples!) without resorting to internal or external bigotry. We're the creatives and we're angry, so let's show them some true vitriol, not whatever trash fascists put in front of us as low-hanging fruit to hurl!
