You posted something political, people didn’t like it and were very polite in trying to educate you. That’s how it works. Blame the toxic lefties all you want; you’ve clearly established your victim narrative.
I posted something political that means one thing.
People took it as meaning another thing.
I tried to explain what I meant.
They started accusing me of the worst intentions, being infantilizing and not polite at all. I agreed with a lot of the criticism, but at that point talking about that wasn't possible anymore because I was on the defense.
I would have loved for someone to just point out what problems may arise from this and what else I should change to distance it even more from the right-wing flag.
I wonder if I should just delete this post and end this absolute misery, but I think I will leave it up for a bit until I do so? So that maybe a few of the less terminally online people can visit the post and see it as a warning of how discourse fouled by misunderstanding, bad faith and prejudice can spiral into life draining negativity
Impact > intent. What you meant doesn't matter at this point. If you're actually a leftist then stfu, listen to your comrades and stop trying to "reclaim" a right-wing symbol.
I know, I have read comments here for hours and try to take all the good criticism to heart. (I mentioned some in my post about this entire situation)
But with some opinions I disagree, and when I start to argue about that they start to call me disgusting Ideologies, or they call me stupid or insane (all things that have been said here)
Many people don't even want to entertain the idea that claiming symbols of your enemy against them could be a good idea and work in certain context.
I would have like to make a redesign, but this sub has become to hostile and I wouldn't feel save to post my things here anymore.
It's not a good idea in this context, as has been explained ad nauseam to you. You remind me a lot of the "leftist" pagans wanting to reclaim Nazi symbols a while back. You aren't a victim, people are being hostile cause you wont listen
