We can see clearly that that's not happening. No one has any actual sympathy for Unity and even the most highly upvoted comments in this thread are of people justifying it.
No one in the masses sides with them. People are not that stupid.

Not the obvious ones. You need to reveal the lies that reveal their true intentions for it is uncovering their true intentions they do everything possible to avoid.
Like with the Trump Chumps, their end goal is genocide of anyone different than them but they know no one has actual hard evidence this is what they're trying to orchestrate. If anyone could trip them up in debate and trick them into admitting such, or uncover actual evidence and reveal it to the public, it would probably be enough of a driving force to convince the left to shake off the provocateurs and shills holding them back and to finally fight back with fists and bullets, even if only to collectively save themselves.
Granted, the people I do this to are kind of different than the Trump cult, many are on the left, so YMMV in terms of results, but I know from experience it does work.
Call them out on a lie that undermines either a core part of their case or that damages their credibility in the eyes of anyone else listening.
Your goal isn't really to convince them to stop doing anything but to completely destroy their credibility, which takes away their ability to use rhetoric to get what they want.
Addressing their motives works too.
You have to be very, very hard-nosed about it and be willing to wield that banhammer on sight, or, in the real world, be willing to exercise power to drive them away, but if you can or if you can convince someone else in the audience with that kind of power to do so, you'll usually be straight.
I do this shit all the time with dickheads here on Lemmy. You'd be surprised how effective calling them out on a lie is.
Then it's high time for us to recognize the problem is not generational but of political affiliation.
The blocking feature on Lemmy is as broken as Reddit and he can still reply to my messages whenever he wants, I just can't see it.
Which is beef #56484783 I have with Lemmy. What I said should be silly, but it's not, because the core software doesn't fix the issues Reddit had especially with blocking. Blocking should give one the last word, but it doesn't.
And that's ignoring the fact that block evading is trivially easy as he can just bounce back here with an account on another instance, and even if a mod bans him, he can keep coming back with VPNs.
Lemmy as a platform is so fucked.
No, there are many brain changes involved with PTSD including the prefrontal cortex and the study clearly didn't take it into account.

I didn't even say anything about the amygdala. I said PTSD. Don't put words in my mouth.
That's a really reductive oversimplification of the situation.
How does it account for PTSD sufferers at all?
Fair. I guess fascist is just what humanity has come to call such things.
It's not the cause, it's the tactics. Throwing people in jail before they actually do anything is a classic hallmark of tyranny.
Found the guy who never made a meaningful sacrifice for what he believed in ever
Because developers totally saw something like this coming. ๐
