We broadly agree about .ml as a whole, but not on how you’re treating this individual. You don’t convince anyone of anything this way, it makes them identify more strongly with whatever you’re attacking. That, too, is part of how we got to this ruinous moment. Prejudice, in a word.
In any case, debating fascists has always been a bad idea. Ok that they’re correct. Fascists are not good faith participants in any debate, and their seat at the table only ever serves to normalise their twisted views, and spoil any chance at the healthy interplay of competing ideas.
Hard disagree in that not debating fascists is the bad idea. It’s why it’s such an astro turfed opinion. There is nothing that normalizes their views more then being able to spread their views uncontested. They want all these social platforms to be truth social. The left allows that when they ignore them
I don’t have ready examples of astroturfing for you, but I’m willing to be convinced in either direction; hit me with whatever you saw that made up your mind.

Prove the opinion is being astroturfed, and I’ll change my view.
What do you need to believe it. What would you expect to see if something is astroturfed. :::
