Facts don't work against fascists

 At least learn how to use propaganda effectively.  

We liberals tend to associate it with lies and corrupt manipulation. However it's just about how to get your ideas across practically with influence. In these times of accelerating fascism it might be prudent instead of just creating pipe dreams that have little effect on that rising evil?
 
I'm reminded of what Zak Stein said in this interview:
 
"My argument would be that under conditions where you can actually effectively implement propaganda, sometimes it’s good to do so in order to get certain things to happen at scale that are difficult for people to do psychologically. [...] When there’s imminent threat, sometimes you do need to mobilize the people through means of communication where you don’t have the time to be fully educational, even though you’d like to be."

PS: You can't play nice with fascism.
