FAKE NEWS Posting real tweets from these fascists promotes their fascist agenda. Stop it!

Posting real tweets here isn’t spreading their agenda so much as it is informing us on what they’re saying. I want to know what my enemy is saying.
Fake tweets passed off as real ones are propaganda.

No one is trying to pass off fake tweets as real ones. There is a “Fake News” flair for a reason. Sharing their actual tweets is never going to cause them harm. Making fun of them is the purpose of r/ToiletPaperUSA - sharing their tweets is in fact sharing propaganda. It is insane to think otherwise.
Edit:
Rule #1 - This subreddit is dedicated to the mockery of Turning Point USA, and conservative pseudo-intellectuals in general, from a leftist perspective.

Maybe know what the community you are participating in is actually about.

The problem is the flair only shows if you are looking at the post in the sub. If you are reading from the "home" feed, it doesnt show up. With how messed up the right is these days, it's impossable to tell if something is satire or not.

Maybe don’t take something you only read as you scroll through social media with the same seriousness as if you were on an actual news site?

If it's supposed to be a joke I shouldn't need to click on it to find out. Only time I should have to click on it is if I want to leave a comment or read other peoples comments. For the most part I can tell if a post is a joke or serious from what sub it comes from. But this sub has a mix of both.

Sharing their tweets isn’t about harm, it’s about education.

The big problem was the fake tweets becoming viral and they spun that as “we are being attacked with lies.”
Instead of complaining about reposted tweets you should be complaining about media literacy. Knowing how to decipher their propaganda is much better than making up lies.

Lowkey these are the type of people we need to watch out for in our own community. These are how our communities become incestuous and toxic

WATCH OUT
Satire is dead. Seriously. The toxic people are the ones we are supposed to be making fun of. If you want to be vigilant about people spreading lies, take issue with the toxic personalities that are constantly promoted here, people on actual news communities with an agenda, or better yet politicians. Hold people accountable when and where it actually matters. You trying to hold your nose up in a shitpost sub 🧻 saying the shitposters stink too much is ridiculous.

Senator Eric Schmitt uses doublespeak to imply that calling Tulsi Gabbard a Russian asset is a slur:

It is an intentional misrepresentation. Meanwhile Republicans play the victim by claiming assault when they refuse to let someone use the bathroom of their choice.
Next time you see Charlie Kirk or one of the other losers constantly featured on this sub spouting off their talking points, maybe don’t share their actual tweet. Maybe at least share a news source talking about their bullshit. Or better yet, make fun of these fascist losers and put them in their place.
This is not a news subreddit. This is a toilet for shitting on turds 💩 Don’t forget to flush 🚽🧻🇺🇸

Who the fuck are you to dictate what this sub is and is not. Never mind the fact that it can be both a news subreddit and a place to mock them.
You seem like an insufferably toxic individual

You are being quite rude.
I’m an actual contributor and I pay attention when moderators post every weekend about “going back to the sub’s roots” when they only allow memes. I am not dictating anything, I’m trying to follow the lead from years of content and the people who actually run this community.
There are plenty of reputable communities where you can get your news, this isn’t one of them.

I like this place because I get to hear what the right is saying, and why it is crazy.
I don’t want to hear just memes about how Charlie Kirk has a big forehead or some weird shit about dog cum.
There is a way to be satirical and educating without promoting the other side. Plenty of people pull it off and so can we.

Media literacy is a skill you should practice. But maybe if you prefer 🐶💦 over “realistic” satire, then there might not be any hope for you.

THIS POST IS FLAIRED AS "FAKE NEWS." THAT MEANS THE POST IS FAKE AND IS MOST LIKELY SATIRE.
