43. this is a very important point

Don't let them get to you; and/or find some way to fuck with their heads (if possible; half the "conservative" voices you hear out in the wild of the interwebz these days are just Russian state influencers or bots anyway).

Here are a few fun ideas:

- assume whoever is posting stupid right-wing nonsense is a Russian bot
(and as a corollary, people seem to get upset when you call them a bot, I don't know why)

- look at the matter objectively: the MAGAt perspective on the world is so far removed from what we as a society generally agree is "reality" that there's really no sense in getting upset about anything they say or think. They are fucking hopeless; you might as well have a conversation with a box of rocks as try to have any kind of meaningful exchange of ideas with these morons.

- fuck with their heads! if possible, try to get them to agree to some basic tenet of communism (workers should enjoy the fruits of their labor, for instance) and end the conversation with some kind of "thanks comrade! I can see we're on the same page now!" sort of statement, so that it's clear that you've "won" the argument or whatever, and then just fuck off from the conversation, let them splutter and try to figure out what happened.

Meh...I'm still working on my approach here. If each of us can somehow get just one person to stop listening to Rush Limbaugh/Fox News, the world would be a much better place.
