We're just posting anti-union propaganda on the fediverse now?

Are y'all at least getting paid for it? fedposting

How many times does satire and irony posting have to backfire on us before we realize that shit only works if the person is smart enough to be in on the joke; otherwise we're just propagandizing against ourselves.

Should our influence continue to grow, the day will come when the capitalist class will try to COINTELPRO Hexbear, and they may try to use our tolerance for lazy irony as their entry point for poisoning the well with sock puppet accounts.

I'd rather not attract more redd-heads thanks. Its lib enough over at sh.itjust.works for me, it already feels like bot accts are mucking around with free thought.

It's not really poisoning the well when it's literally what were actually doing.

"They claim to be leftists but they also have an "ironic" anti union comm with no apparent punchline" isn't cointelpro, that's just a fair reading of the situation.

Yeah. I’m not disagreeing, just making a “yes and” point.
