I think the most effective reply is highlighting their methodology and moving on, rather than allowing yourself to be bogged down in rebuttals. You can never convince them because they are not "debating" earnestly, and the audience they are performing for isn't interested in following a debate and will dismiss both sides.

Agree completely, I also just feel it's important to highlight that style of inauthentic behavior.
What are you accomplishing, right here, right now, with this comment?
The function of accounts like the one you are replying to is to encourage cynicism and inaction among otherwise anti-fascist people.
Failing that, they will try to exhaust you with "debate".
Well, this season looks officially ridiculous.
My unpopular opinion is that while the 2009 Enterprise does not look at all like the starships I know and love (more) it is definitely doing it's own thing in a unique (and tonally consistent with the Ambramsverse movies) way that I appreciate.
The design language for those films is a sort of 2010's retro-futurism that just lands really well IMO.
Yeah but I think it's childish to complain about movies "might as well not existing" if you haven't even looked for them.
People get so weird about Dansup.
If Mastodon/Fedi was at the scale those platforms are we would see more harassment, absolutely. It remains to be proven but I think federation enables a lot more eyes on content which implies harassing material can be removed more quickly.
Federation/decentralization solves a lot of problems over centralized social media, but ultimatley you can't engineer human nature.
