No feed them. "Dont feed the trolls" is how the left has been losing so much political and social capital the past decade. People are all conflict adverse they've forfeited so much ground online and socially. I can tell you all the talking points on the right, I couldn't tell you any on the left let alone anyone who is a good source of information because "doing feed the trolls" results in no left leaning voices or spaces that matter. Instead over feed them. The one thing the left has going for it is there are more of us. We need to use that to our advantage. The advantage being if we realized this, we could have 10 messages for everyone of theirs. Which is what the right has done instead for the past decade. They flood every space they can. Hell I still see them on over passes, in the news, on podcasts, in comedy. Take it all back. Stop the mentality that we win when we don't engage. We don't. We win when they're exhausted not us
I enter civil discourse with opposing views all day erryday, but that's a nice point. We need values but I think the order of operations should be to engage civily, agree to disagree, then finally block so they don't feel empowered by their position.
I disagree, I think there's a lot of people who think they need to bring some kind of argument and logic that will blow them out of the water. Meanwhile they're having fun because their strategy is to exhaust you until you block them. But people never learned how fun it is to exhaust them back. If we're all so smart, everyone keeps saying they're idiots, then beat them at their own game. But if you block, you lose. Get them to push themselves back into their corners by having them hit the block button.
In theory I'd love that, I give into the trolling but try to keep it to a minimum.
Children are watching and when everyone is slinging shit, they just see shit covered adults and that's almost worse than losing a voter. Losing the next gen
