where i am currently... there's an audience that is genuinely interested and open to learning. there's a much louder (maybe bigger?) audience that has no interest in learning anything. no net positive trying to convince the loud audience but still important to lay out facts for all.
i tend to think explaining plainly, without heavily leaning into the anti-(whatever the conspiracy is) is more constructive
this is also mostly in reference to the more routine, day-to-day interactions/postings on social media. there's likely an important place for more aggressive pushback/deeper dives.
