When linking on Twitter to something you've written that could be controversial, give people as little to engage with in the tweet itself as possible. Then (a) they'll have to actually read at least some of it before responding, and (b) you don't give them much to quote-tweet.

Yep, the responses to the wealth tax tweet are a mess. Shame because it's an interesting topic. We have a wealth tax here in Switzerland (on the order of 0.01%).

There is rarely room in a tweet to say something in a way that's impossible to misrepresent.
