I.e. Digging in the facts, the reality, that give the lie to the rhetoric of these online global extremist movements, and digging into the disinformation, and radical agendas.
Just like I do on here when Jambo starts on with his little stock phrases, stock attitudes, stereotypes and packaged up radical meme of the day from some online "influencer" like Morgosh (or the crawling Mork Collett, the British White Supremacist neo Nazi who used to head up PR for the British National Party etc.)
I research and show the source of these phrases and ideas, and the genesis of them.
Like how the white supremacist Stormfront site started in 1996 is clearly in the frame when he starts on about "anti-whites" and "race realism" etc.
Or like how the organised Catholic activity also in the late nineties is in the frame when it is shown that today's anti trans culture wars, and the origins and genesis of the stock phrases and ideas deployed in those "wars", came directly, verbatim, from fundamentalist Catholic formal public representations and publications and books.
So on the one hand you can just be swept up in these stock phrases and pre packaged ideas, they have of course been designed to make explicit appeal to prejudice.
Or on the other hand you can become more conscious of their evolving, and what they evolved from, and why.
You need "researchers" prepared to dig a little to do that.
But of course the reason that ideologues hate all such researchers, paid or otherwise, is exactly because they bring evidence to the table that the ideologue needed to stay undiscovered.
And you know I used to observe similar in the antisemitic crusade that exploits the Palestinians to manipulate people into hate for Jews. That propaganda was notorious for always deliberately omitting the key facts needed to understand the events they were presenting.
So the necessary response of the Jews in that case was to make an effort to set up systems to gather the omitted evidence (like Memri) and then present that evidence.
But the ideologues dismissed that evidence on the very basis that funds were needed to organise to gather that evidence!
You see they need the stock chants and mantras to stand alone, the context they need and want is preexisting prejudice and a swirl of half truths based not in their own experience, but on heresay.
But when you add context, such as the voice of one of these transgender or cross dressing queers speaking honestly and with insight about his own experience and view of the world, or say you reveal the hideous face or institution or movement that first gave voice to these chants and mantras, mass popularised decades later, you change the context.
And that is the problem the likes of Jambo have with it.
