If you don't want to listen to the women who have years of experience dealing with harassment from MRAs, PUAs, Gamergaters and the chans and other proto-Nazis, when we're telling you that parsing Nazis is useless, well good luck. You'll need it.

And if you're planning your "infiltration" of said Nazis on Twitter, and you have not training or background of knowledge of what that means, because you think it will bring useful "intel," good luck again. You will definitely need it.

Is cosplaying FBI agent while people of color are being attacked really the most useful use of your time? Are you such a supergreat spy that you're going to learn something you really couldn't get from browsing the SPLC website?

Have you noticed that all of these people lie again and again about their ideology? Have you considered that you might start to think they sound reasonable? Are you concerned you might end up giving them cover? You should be.

If you know someone who's fallen for Nazi ideology who you think you can personally reach, that's one thing. If you think hanging out with a bunch of Nazis for game night is a good idea, that's another thing. And it's ludicrous.

This dynamic has played out again and again in the past. Even seasoned journalists end up humanzing the MRAs/racists/whatever they planned to "expose." What about spending your time humanizing their victims instead?
