This may be a groundbreaking idea, but people actually exist outside of lemmy and do stuff
But they don't. The average leftist left all social media. It's clear as day given that so much content is absent any left ideas. The reason people in all our lives all agree that Charlie Kirk was such a great guy is because people on the left doing exist in any significant way outside of a couple digital spaces. One of those is Lemmy. Go get a sample and start asking random people if they have social media accounts elsewhere anymore. Go ask people in your life if they're aware of any of the ideas on the left. Go on any social media and see if you're getting videos defending left wing principals or is it just toxic hate posts. The left abandon digital spaces and retreated to places like Lemmy.
And for good reason. The feds are watching online spaces. Any real plans to remove those in charge would get people shoved onto unmarked vans by chuds in masks. If leftists are planning something it is taking place in the backs of coffee shops and shit. Read like, anything about opsec lmao.
Look at history. Small in-person meetings in a coffee shop are easy to infiltrate and discredit. The FBI did this for decades: they didn’t just spy on groups, they nudged them toward extremism to alienate them from the public and make arrests easier.
Compare that to online organizing. A hundred people posting ten pieces of content a day isn’t a coffee shop — it’s 1,000 messages a day, 30,000 a month. That’s a tide of ideas washing over the public again and again, shaping opinion slowly but surely.
Everyone from advertising to politics knows repetition is the key. Exposure, over and over, is what changes minds. The right understands this and has built enormous influence through it. The left, time and time again, fails to grasp or commit to this strategy.
You don’t need to do anything illegal. You need consistent, persistent content. That’s how movements actually win.
