You’re right that it seems trolling is “weaponized” now. However, I (optimistically) don’t want to (cynically) admit weaponized trolling is the rule instead of the exception.

Admittedly blocking isn’t directly effective, but it could be if it generally gets people to stop feeding trolls, thus cutting off reward feedback loops for bad actors.

Just a thought.

Considering that I made a comment pointing out the futility of trying to make good-faith arguments within this environment and a mod removed it, I think this is a relevant quotation. Thanks!

Ahh yes, whataboutism. Try actually addressing the point someone is making instead of making distracting excuses. Did you know two things can be true at the same time?

It would appear you’re trying to argue against the contents of the above article by referencing an attribute or quality of the author. I believe we call that a genetic fallacy.

Would you like to try again?

Do you value diversity, equity, and inclusion? Do you like having the ability to freely talk about ideas which might challenge The Party? Do you enjoy free and fair elections?

If your answer to those questions is “no” then your value system is quite at odds with the average Western Liberal. Liberals love liberalism. China doesn’t like liberalism. It’s pretty obvious why there’s friction between them, no propaganda required.
