Analysis just leads you further down the incorrect path. The answer is in the title. “Overwhelm” the only answer is we all need to make more content and to share and disseminate it. You see someone commenting against one of these bad faith actors, we need to overwhelm them. We need to get better at having fun while doing it. Inside jokes, memes whatever. Just have fun and make 5 messages for every 1 they attempt. We need to act, not study. By hoping we can study this stuff and figure out how to logically argue against them will only lead to more people disengaging because it’s impossible and not fun.
This seems so dumb, like people have simply put names to the typical tropes of online conversation, it’s a very typical meta discussion that you don’t seem to want to engage in, so why waste the time?
Your solution doesn’t make sense, just take things less seriously! Are you the fucking Joker, this is serious shit. It only works if there are more likeminded people who share your “logical” opinion. If your solution is to always just overshout, you are agreeing to the will of the majority, which we call the tyranny of the majority in the United States. What happens when the majority you picture yourself as flips to the minority in the argument.
Congrats, you’ve just lost everything! Welcome to 2025. A zero sum game where if someone asks a genuine question with good discussion, people are going to come in to try to flip the table.
