look at the down votes you're getting for sharing the same viewpoint that luigi holds and consider how wildly popular this sort of opinion is with both the left and the right.

social media is not immune from the same controlled-narratives/propaganda that the mainstream media is using to discredit luigi and the people who share is views and you're seeing it in action on the "general purpose" instances on lemmy like this one.

This is not the "same viewpoint Luigi holds." The Canadian and British examples are grossly exaggerated to the point of being a bad faith argument, which leads me to suspect the US one might be as well.

Lying about the problem doesn't aid the cause; it harms it.

Not all Nazis worked at the death camps either, so it's fine.

Comparing sharing a meme to being a Nazi is an egregious insult to the people who suffered under them

It's definitely a very hyperbolic example.

But it holds nonetheless.

Doesn't matter you didn't make the meme, you served the same purpose as the one that did.
