Do you live under a rock? The right is going to attack no matter what whether the arguments are correct or not. They don’t care about substance, they only care about aesthetics.
Disinformation is not just about the ‘right’ attacking, it’s also about disenfranchising the ‘left’. I’m amazed how many times on Reddit I see something that hits the spot of “that’s truly awful” together with “maybe it’s actually true that way”, so I check the source and it’s not at all like that. Now I’m used to it and assume all Reddit/Lemmy political outrage is at least partially misinformation.
(Anyway I don’t aim to learn my politics from Lemmy or Reddit.)
More deeply, do you want a world where lying makes your side win? Or a world where people are honest and willing to learn from the truth? Defending ourselves with dishonesty is cruel to people around us, damages our society, and ultimately undermines ourselves.
Sorry for the rant here, it’s been stewing in me a long time, and will continue to every time I see lies in support of something I care about, or from people I care about.
You keep losing the plot here. The OP is a meme ridiculing the concept that frozen embryos are children. You don’t need to draw an objectively, 100% philosophically congruent analogy for the meme to work. Plus as a man, it’s not my place to tone police anyone on abortion rights. The Alabama judges that made this decision are a disgrace to the legal profession and to the country.
