      Not saying is new (examples of this in 60s, 70s etc both domestically and as active measures). Just saying folks need to be aware of them.

      Sure. But one cannot claim, not for campaign like NFL kneeling, that it is exclusively abt divisiveness. That delegitimizes political speech

      What is the difference between "amplifying the division" and "amplifying an important protest"?

      If you're amplifying both sides, and making it about the bad faith of the other, not the substance, you're not amplifying an important protest. You're just twisting the knife.

      And you're also getting dangerously close to suggesting that Trump's original comments on NFL weren't bad faith.

      How would you recommend people campaigning against unjustified killing by kneeling respond when attacked by Trump in bad faith?

          However they like. But one good idea is to call him out on the fact he's responding in bad faith.

          DO you have any evidence of that working in the last 2 years? Or similar efforts working in recent US history?

          I'm quite confident we're talking cross purposes, because this is a very long way away from what my thread was about.

          For the comments in your thread to be valid, we would have to live in a very very different political world than we do.

          Hashtag politics have worked in past, work now. Until that changes or better tactics identified you will continue to see this, organic or no

          You totally missed his point and are arguing a separate issue. He's just saying RU amplifies existing divisions to drive a greater wedge.

          No 1) Underlying piece said hashtag went viral organically, so that claim is actually false 2) You're missing my point abt what he's missing

          His argument has nothing to do with the origins of the hashtag, just the purpose of the bots. That's it.

          DFR thing that started this suggests the Anti-NFL hashtag paid by right wing noise machine. Is non-conclusive abt Take a Knee.

          One ENORMOUS mistake that has arisen out of focus on RU is people ignore how much right wing does this, and has for years.

          By ignoring that question, we're ignoring the difficulty of the answers, and even the sensitivities around demanding social media sharing.
