Comment on The best thing *you* can do for the fediverse is *just be kind*
TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 2 months agoIf you know what you are arguing and argue with tankies/Nazis in good faith, nine times out of ten they will eventually lose their temper and make fools of themselves. There is no need to be hostile to begin with, they just defeat themselves basically because their ideologies are totally flawed (kinda like in real life).

It is not to validate them, it is to discredit them and provide red flags to would-be readers how dangerous their ideas are.

It makes them feel validated, they’re not capable of self reflection

You missed the part where I said it is for the readers, not the cultists. It is not about convincing these ideologues, it is to warn the readers why the ideas of these cultists are bad.
