Grok, even in its manipulated state, continues to emphasize the facts. And that's hurting the feelings of a lot of Twitter users. (discuss.online)

Maybe unlearn that or learn to throw it back?

Letting the other camp "own" signs like fake news, 👌🏼, or facts over feelings is basically cooperating with them & validating whatever they decide those signs mean for the rest of us. Yet the literal meaning of those words (& signs) can serve anyone. Language can be creative, no?

Instead of ceding to them like a bunch of feeble losers (and implying we only argue with feelings), maybe we should reappropriate what was given, stir confusion, apply some creativity to make those signs serve us against the "dickwads" we oppose?

That purity mentality of recoiling from anything "tainted" by those we oppose isn't useful. It's better to restore, redeem, create.
