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.

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.

Let's just admit the answer to the question "does he associate with people who can do math?" is a resounding "no."

The Wheel. We should've graduated to antigravity by now, don't you think?

We'll need ranked choice (or some other voting scheme other than First Past The Post). Otherwise it'll just end up the same as it always has.
