If you think it’s reasonable to play devil’s advocate for someone you don’t know (with a proven shitty track record) based on some fluff propaganda, then you are a great example of how disinformation campaigns work.
You are the prime kind of mark they make misinformation for, because you’ll do zero to educate yourself beyond watching some YouTube video before you start doing exactly what you’ve done here.
Step 1: Intake propaganda Step 2: Take propaganda at face value Step 3: repeat propaganda ad nauseam Step 4: claim ignorance when called out Repeat
Will you please back the fuck off???
I get it. You hate RFK and according to you, anyone who defends the guy is a complete moron.
If you think I was a victim of propaganda, then just say so and point me in the right direction. You don't have to be so god damn rude about it.
I don’t hate him. I just have the common sense to not buy his snake oil. And yes, I’ll judge anyone who defends his obvious snake oil.
I don’t think you’re a victim. I think you’re absolutely complicit in perpetuating his lies at this point. You had every opportunity to educate yourself, yet you opted not to and instead argued for him and his lies in the public forum. There will always be assholes, and those that spread the asshole’s shit around.
You have choices. You made a poor one going to bat for him. And yeah, I’m not going to sugarcoat anything when it comes to fascism. Sorry if that hurts your feelings 🤷♂️
At this point you're just harassing me. I've had enough
The two methods that could have saved you from mistakenly conflating me calling out misinformation for harassment (seems pretty par-for-the course for an RFK defender) is by not replying or just blocking me.
And all this could have been avoided if you looked him up for a moment before coming to the defense of his lies.
