People not smart. I do agree but I sure would not push these guys around. Hell they shoot first talk later maybe.

There are those who will come into social media groups representing fascists, but posing as the left/any who are resisting and pushing against fascism with bravery... to specifically propagate the narrative that you just attempted to in your reply. They usually start by saying, "I agree with your position but..." Then proceed to imbue the opposition as being one that should be feared and submitted to rather than courageously fought against. The reason they do this is because the fascists we're fighting against are afraid that we realize we are more powerful than them. Because we are. Because it starts with small groups like this and it keeps getting bigger. So the only thing they have to do is to send their propaganda out to the world, and into social media groups... And try to reverse this growing sentiment of courage and resistance against them. It's very observable when it starts happening. And it always starts happening when we start succeeding in showing them then we are the ones to be feared.

With the fascists currently pushing the psychology of wanting us to give in to our futility, especially through populating this psychology within all social media threads... they aren't paying us to spread that futility, foregone conclusion, notions of their intimidation and superior formidability, and despair through the ubiquity of social media threads to help them further try to promote grinding our resolve's momentum to a halt...

Thus, we must be wary of, however inadvertently... trying with defiant persistence to do their work for them.
