Not a fan of some of the rhetoric and sourcing either but why not let them be? I never understood why it's so important to silence these people if they don't have any credibility anyways.
If they doxx or dogpile, sure, intervene, but they're just posting links and having discussions among themselves.
The TL;DR is they think other people are dumb and stupid and can't think for themselves, and take it upon themselves to police speech online. How can people keep from being deceived if not for the hallowed hall monitor! After all, the people calling for censorship are never wrong about what's true and what's not!
