I wonder if some people literally can’t/won’t perceive or process certain arguments or points at all, and just think any media mentioning their ideas is an automatic win no matter what else it contains

Oh, sure. Those folks wouldn't have changed their minds no matter what she posted. What I'm trying to say, though, is that they're not the entirety of her audience. Statistically speaking, there's got to be a non-zero amount of people who aren't that.

For the people you're talking about, it literally doesn't matter what she does. This video doesn't hurt her, sure. It could even help her. She also could've filmed herself boiling an egg and probably gotten the same boost.

In the case of THOSE people, the egg boiling video wouldn't have challenged their views in a way that could trigger de-radicalization. The footage she posted, though? It could.

Who are the bigots in
@arthur_affect's audience that he's emboldening by sharing this? Can you show me any examples of this even happening here? Why don't the non-bigots he's emboldening here factor into this?2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes
I'm generally opposed to a mindset that says any engagement with your opponents must be playing into their evil master plan

It smacks a whole lot of the "Just ignore them and they'll go away" mindset. Like. IDK, fam. As a Black person, I'd really like it if POC weren't the only ones keeping tabs on racist propagandists.
