A group of nearly two dozen people waving swastika flags and chanting antisemitic rhetoric marched on the Wisconsin state Capitol grounds Saturday afternoon, performing a salute originally used by Nazis at political rallies, often called the “Hitler salute.”

    But it is fortunately drastically less effective.

    I’m not so sure about that… I had to block !worldnews on here because the comments section is just one big hasbara dogpile - and the mods seem totally fine with it.

      There will be echo chambers still. And there will always be brigading attempts. But if people don’t like it they can start an identically named community on a different domain. Something not remotely possible on Reddit Facebook etc. where Nazis can openly threaten others without consequence. But if a leftist doesn’t word their disagreement with Nazis just right they get a permanent ban.

      I think what you’re seeing is highly temporary. And likely will be contained to the current run of Likud sponsored Palestinian genocide. There are a lot of ignorant people being riled up on emotion alone right now. And thankfully most are getting downvoted. There are no good guy in the current scenario. Just dishonest, murderous actors like Hamas. And genocidal right wing government in Israel. My sympathies will always be with the people. Both Palestinian and Israeli. But the Israeli really need to step up to address what their government is doing.
