It is in a sense a propaganda weapon. We can collectively choose to not use it and ostracize it but the nazis and fascists won't have the same qualms.

It's like choosing to use bows out of principle when the enemy has guns. Fun in a comic book, doesn't work so well in real life.

It's more like choosing to not use grenades that blow up when shaken even though the enemy is using them, simply because you know that, sure, sometimes it blows up when you want it to and has the correct effect, but more often it blows up in your own face.

It really is. Which is why this propaganda is pushed on the left while the right embraces it.

It's one of the reasons I'm done with the left. They're dead in the water and have no idea what they're at anymore.

The entire movement has somehow regressed severely in my lifetime
