I think people are just sort of being their amygdala with their whole chest-it's kind the same as the little voice in your head goes when it's stuck on overdrive, you know? ALARUM ALARUM ALARUM ALARUM ALARUM it's not well thought out because in that state, you're just not.

Which is a good reason to be nice about it (I try), I guess, but mostly: ignore. block if needed. It doesn't help.

And I totally understand being stressed about the situation at hand. Lord knows I definitely am right now. The thing is, doom and gloom is exactly what they want from us. They don't want us fighting back. We need to make their lives a living hell until they figure out that we aren't pushovers.

Totes. I mean I can at least understand it from a "be alert!" pov if that's all they're trying to do--thanks, we got it, but it's fairly harmless of itself I guess. Just blocked someone who literally wrote "Martial law is coming" and "there is little or nothing you can do." "You," who?

When they *actually* say "resistance is useless" I figure bad actor likelier, but not interested enough to explore more before the plonk.

Indeed. Resistance is a very viable weapon against these people. They're banking on no pushback, so when we pushback, they aren't prepared for it.
