    Bit idea: Pretend to be a conservative and concern troll the right. Much like a lot of them did in 2011. Make a bunch of "Gammon cringe compilations" or come up with our own three letter acronym like they have "SJW". CPN? (Cultural Purity Nutjobs)? We try to call them "the real feminists", "the real leftists", or just "commieservatives" and compare them to "SJWs" and tankies.

    The only way to argue with, and actually irritate these lot is to try to be even stupider than them.

        Idk his irl name, but Yugopnik is my favorite leftist youtuber. He gives me "cool older brother" vibes, and explains things pretty well.

          I love yugopnik but he's a bit too video essay-y to be a Ben Shapiro type. We need someone like v**sh who is utterly annoying, but not a reactionary

              well in a perfect world, obviously. but if he wasn't a reactionary, he would be the benny shabino of the left, which is the point

      I used to do something like this occasionally with my chud cousins. I'd say stuff like leftists stole feminism from conservatives or that Republicans are actually leftists in secret, so they're all voting for leftists. I'd call him a socialist for stuff like doing food drives at his church.

      If my idiot cousins work as test subjects, this strategy tends to have the effect of forcing the chud deeper and deeper into a right-wing corner to protect their credentials until they eventually get so frustrated they'll just drop the mask and start talking about killing gay people on the spot and endorsing Christian fundamentalist nationalism. They'd get so pissed off about any accusation of being on the left all they would know to do is say stuff they assume a leftist would never say

      I think the smarter or more plugged in internet right-wingers will just get confused and disregard what you're talking about.
