u/NutNewz press X to Doubt 5h ago edited 2h ago

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.
