For context, the post I’m referring to is a map of Africa with subsaharia Africa in deep green, Sudan in light green and north Africa was white or some other color. The poster was claiming nothing had ever been invented in the green zone. My comment was gonna be this:
Antiseptics before Europeans.
Iron Smelting Not the first to discover it, but recent evidence show it was invented independently.
Some modern Archtecture taking inspiration from Sudano-Sahelian features such as a roof shape favoring natural ventilation. And since I just transitioned to recent inventions, there’s the Cardio Pad, invented in Cameroon, to help diagnose cardiovascular disease.
That post was by a troll (their account was ten minutes old and the only other post was them saying “trolling Lemmy is so easy”)
You are feeding the troll by talking about how mad it made you.
Next time, just report, block, downvote, and move on.
The thing is, I don’t think right wing trolls are just looking to annoy people. They’re spreading a propaganda. They want at least a part of the people who see it to believe at least a part of what they’re saying. And by repeating it a lot in many places, it can work. That’s why I think it’s also good to make a counter propaganda sometimes, not for the troll, but some who might tend to believe them. It is also true that banning them and removing their post was objectively a good thing to do, but I still wanted to post the refutation, and since this is a comic strip community it had to do a comic strip and this is one of the two ideas I could come up with (the other idea would’ve been a comic presenting the inventions in question, but it would’ve taken too much work and I wanted to post my text right now, lol).
