So that fact is wrong, it was a Jewish man who escaped nazi persecution. I dont think this is historical appropriation on purpose. Clap back politics don’t provide anything, and in this case accidentally lied. It’s usually free nowadays to check your facts before posting.

Clap back politics don’t provide anything

Clap back politics isn’t for the opposition but for others on your side to gain a new perspective by pointing out the things people knew but couldn’t put into words. It’s a tool for our collective awareness. I wouldn’t say it’s useless.

So maybe it’s not useless, because in this case it literally spread misinformation.

It’s a tool that can be abused, just like with rhetoric. Instead, you could @ the OPs to modify their posts.

did you point at something when you typed “that”? because the rest of us can’t see what you’re pointing to.

Which is the incorrect part, the console itself or the person who invented it? You weren’t really clear on that and it shows the Fairchild F was designed by a black man in Google but I didn’t search too deep.

The tweet makes a false statement about who invented the first video game console, and what the console was. Neither were correct I’m afraid. It was invented a year earlier.
