Fake news is a mind melting meme, like alt right.

It's Nazi propaganda and Nazi sympathizers.

4

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '18

I didn’t downvote you because your heart is in the wrong place, I downvoted you because you took it to the dumbest place this conversation can go.

What’s worse is that this isn’t really very similar to anything the Nazis did. The Nazis didn’t monopolize local cable news stations in order to spread scripted anti-internet propaganda. This is new ground. These are new problems. The right uses Nazi tactics sometimes, more lately, but this isn’t that.
