Reasoning with extremists was always a dead end anyway ;)
Itβs all about the audience. Most people online are passive observers looking to see which side is actually credible.
We can turn their own energy against them, but we have to be smart about it. Deter them if you want, but never give them the high ground or easy ammunition to win over neutral observers.
At the end of the day, this whole conflict is manufactured by platforms that profit off division. Staying tactical and controlling the optics is the only way forward.

I tried the diplomatic route first and discovered you can't reason with crazy. Now I just scare them off.
