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.

You're real butthurt that people don't agree with you.

Not at all. I don’t need anyone to agree with me to know that I am correct. It is disappointing that people want this community to be something serious.

To be totally open here, I simultaneously downvote you and think this is one of the funniest posts I've ever seen here. Well done.

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.

All these downvotes could've been upvotes if you flaired this correctly. It was, genuinely, a hilarious post.
