This won’t work because the bad faith actor will activate their victim complexity to derive sympathy from the masses. The only way to beat a bad faith actor is to have actual power over what they value most.

If I was the good faith party I’d prepare with a list of inflamatory but true claims on the bad faith party and any time they try to sidestep, throw the accusations at them and force them to go on the defensive instead of giving them a platform to try an legitimize their bullshit. If you’re talking about what everyone thinks you are, theres no ‘rising above’ it, you gotta attack it.

This seems like a good strategy. I like it

I like this a lot. I would add, in case it’s not obvious, to be ready to assert control once they are on the defensive. Otherwise, it becomes a situation of the pigs beating you with experience fighting in the mud.
