If the community wants more support from outside themselves, pick a better slogan
- happytoexplain 5y agoYes, it would help, but a provocative slogan also has its own merits. It usually serves to highlight the very culture it is criticizing. If those criticized took even just one minute to think about it or talk to somebody they disagree with instead of reading from news sources and forums that are highly angry and cherry-picking, then they would easily realize what their "enemies" want. In this way, a provocative slogan exposes these people. However, provocation almost never has more upsides than downsides. But one of the vanishingly few cases where it's hard to blame somebody for resorting to it happens to be where any individuals within your government are using their power to mistreat, unjustly imprison, beat, or kill you, and where there is a large group of politically extreme citizens cheering for that.
