    No shit sherlock. You need to simplify your messaging in practice if you want it to work.

    Ex: “Israel is actively spreading the war to Hezbollah and will drag the USA into Lebanon”.

    Don’t say what you care about per se. Say what you know will get the other side to pay attention. Don’t double down on useless memes that have limited reach. Find a simpler message with wider reach and run with it. Say less to minimize the possibility of conflicting with your audience’s ideology.

      The purpose of this meme isn’t to make people aware of what continued support for Israel will cause, the purpose is to punch left.

        I’m not punching left, I’m punching right. Tankies might be left from your point of view if you’re a centrist, but they’re right from my point of view as an anarchist.

        This meme is making the same point as my last post to this community. https://lemmy.ca/post/25784829

            Well in that case everyone should be able to agree that I’m punching to the right. Except for the tankies who think they’re leftists, only agree with the part of the quote on the camera, and think I’m punching left as a result. Mystery solved!

            No they’re saying that they are what tankies would think a radical left wing extremist is. Like, they’re so far to the left even tankies are comparatively to the right.

            Which is of course, absurd; tankies are by definition auth left.

            Well, it’s easy to believe you’re not right of anyone when you refuse to believe in all the billions of people to your left.
