When it comes to battling fascist-enabling rhetoric, I prefer as comprehensive an approach as possible. In truth, the circle jerk tankies and bad faith actors won’t be swayed by any amount of intellectual engagement. The goal isn’t to convince them, it’s to publicly counter their garbage takes in as simple and straightforward a way as possible, in order to avoid letting sincere but impressionable leftists fall for superficially reasonable looking moral imperatives.
Seems like a bigger waste of time to just end up engaging with people who can vault over pictures, but can’t handle nuance.
Start the discussion on an intellectual level, and those who can’t grasp it can go read until they’re ready to talk.
Or they can go find someone else who will argue with cartoons or whatever, I’m sure they’ll be happier there.

Everyone needs a hobby, I suppose.
You can do worse for hobbies than fighting fascist-enabling rhetoric.
