      1. Block lists Self-explanatory. Want to identify certain bad actors and limit exposure. Have ideas about how to do this effectively but will discuss in other fora.

      2. Freedom of Navigation operations Explanation: China claims control over certain waterways that are viewed by other countries as international. The US Navy routinely sends warships through these waters without consulting China to maintain the principle that they are open.

      A common tactic used by illiberal groups is arranging for someone to be destroyed for speech that was heretofore well within civil bounds. Analogously to the Navy, one might attempt to defend open turf in a principled manner.https://www.stripes.com/news/pacific/navy-warships-conduct-back-to-back-freedom-of-navigation-operations-in-south-china-sea-1.627890 …

      Executing this is tricky, because certain outlets (eg: Quillette) that attempt this end up being simply written out of the Overton window and ignored . . . or something. The dynamic isn't legible to me yet but it seems like cracking it might suggest a counter. Thinking on this.

      3. Shift to an assertive stance. We have spent years falling back on our heels. This needs to stop.https://youtu.be/Ms_WY0s_1XM

      .@selentelechia has a favorite post that describes the psychology of a player in MtG who reaches a point where he decides he is going to lose the game. At that point, he stops playing to win, and starts making moves that rationalize what he perceives to an inevitable loss.

      Cribbing from Ken Kesey, this is accepting the role another has chosen for you in their story rather than acting as the protagonist in your own. This makes overcoming a hostile narrative nearly impossible. You write your own defeat into every line.

      We don't have to live like this. Irony aside our ideas and values are extremely fucking good when measured against the fideistic puerility arrayed against us. We ought to comport ourselves with confidence and dignity when asserting them and deprecate desperate undertones.

          You can't decree confidence. It would be more effective to find their panic buttons, and use those against them.

          You can't decree it but you can demonstrate it, and it's infectious

          There may also be a bit of a silent majority thing here. I prob disagree with you about deep ontological things about what we can say about human nature based on current social and biological science and about the philosophical importance of what we can say.

          I have a conference talk online where I literally say "Not only am I an SJW, I am professionally trained and credentialed SJW" which I'm sure would strike some fear or reaction into some of your followers - but in context it was said for a reason...

          This is in general a good idea. Don't want to be branded a reactionary? Stop reacting all the time, ditch the sob stories of decline and such.
