@janl @LaChasseuse yeah, that’s what I thought as well… a great message diminished by a cringe slogan
@metacosm @janl @LaChasseuse I see what you mean but while I'm quite sensitive to the “Make ... again" slogan, the “Let's make … again" didn’t actually trigger my immune response. The “Let's" helps, I'm ok with it.

@j12i I extremely do not need more examples of this sent into my timeline.
@janl sorry. I guess I only have a very partial view of your replies.

@janl palingenetic phrases do not look very appealing when palingenetic ultranationalist rule is happening next door. especially when it follows the form of the one the fascists rose to power spouting

@janl and of course, we can never ever reclaim anything from the fascists, so the best thing to do is avoid anything they have even breathed on like the plague and rigidly police anyone who even tries

@janl along similar lines, don't proudly wear the insults they make up for you.
"The left is CRAZY!"
"That's right we are CRAZY--crazy about justice!"
it's not the masterful reversal you think it is y'all

This post is brought to you by this otherwise fantastic spot by thr UK Greens: https://mastodon.scot/@LaChasseuse/115941198098862825
@janl Didn't even see their use of it when I watched, that's disappointing.

@finestructure @janl @LaChasseuse "Let's" helps for sure but it's still too close for comfort for me…

@janl I thought I was the only one who couldn't stomach the copycats even if they were meant to be in opposition to their original message. Glad to see I'm not the only one!
Similarly red caps, "tremendous", "big beautiful"-anything and "deal" make me retch nowadays.

@janl I will keep using it to mock them without regret. That’s not normalisation, it requires thinking and allows you to catch fascists while doing it.

I'd like to request a small exemption for "Make facists ashamed again," if I may.

@janl so what you’re saying is “Make Make X Y Again not a fascist dog whistle again”? I can’t see it fitting on most hats.

@janl The number of people who think they're being clever and "ironic" with self-referential examples in your replies is 🤮🤮🤮
