yeah but the problem here is twofold, if we do it ourselves, they will accuse us of being what they say we are. If we do not, they will make up their own, and pretend like it’s happening.
It’s the anti fascist problem. If you’re anti fascist, you’re just fascist against fascism. There is no way to combat fascism without more fascism.
you sort of inherently have to define yourself under fascism, in a system with fascists, otherwise you are under control of the fascists. Because they can do your game better than you can, because they started first. So you really don’t have many options other than holding either, the power, or the intellectual upperhand, which isn’t even a guarantee either. Since again, reality doesn’t matter to fascists.

There isn’t a good solution here, unfortunately.
Stop being defined by fascists.

When you let them define you, that is already control. This isn’t about “reality”, it’s about social control.
If I tell you that “only bad people demand higher wages” and you accept their definition of bad people, we have a problem.
