    So that fact is wrong, it was a Jewish man who escaped nazi persecution. I dont think this is historical appropriation on purpose. Clap back politics don’t provide anything, and in this case accidentally lied. It’s usually free nowadays to check your facts before posting.

      Clap back politics don’t provide anything

      Clap back politics isn’t for the opposition but for others on your side to gain a new perspective by pointing out the things people knew but couldn’t put into words. It’s a tool for our collective awareness. I wouldn’t say it’s useless.

          It’s a tool that can be abused, just like with rhetoric. Instead, you could @ the OPs to modify their posts.

      did you point at something when you typed “that”? because the rest of us can’t see what you’re pointing to.
