With this lie escalating to violent threats against the Haitian community, we perhaps need to put a pause on joking about this insidious hoax. They are trying to start a race war, and memes likely aren’t helping.

    Define “counter-narrative”. It’s what you wanted, right? But you didn’t. Instead you’re blaming is for mocking absurd racist claims because … checks notes … other racists might or might not get violent.

    And look, I’ve already read a handful of articles on the hoax just from whatever shows up in my subscriptions here or on RSS or whatever. People are addressing it head-on. That is happening, even if you don’t see it. So, do you have any data to back up your claim.
