Exactly. This is what I keep trying to say everyday with my #factcheckbait #QTbait threads.
The way to fight fascist disinformation, be it Putin or sanghi, is not to reflexively denounce their bait.
It is to keep them busy with our own bait. Not lie like them. But be smart.

Something simple you can do. Tweet regularly something like "Did you know that father of Hindutva Vinya Savarkar said Hindus should eat beef?"
Factually true. And enrages sanghis. They'll show up demanding source, cite etc.
Hide their replies, block. 😂
Repeat in a few days.

The way to defeat misinformation agents is not to QT them, but bait them into QTing you. Keep them in rebuttal mode always.
Every single day, there should be a coordinated new QT bait thrown at fascists. Exhaust them. Waste their time. Give them hypertension.

Here's one more evergreen bait they always rant and rave at.
"I read online and also on Google that Nathya Godse got himself circumcised so that he could pretend to be Muslim after caught. Is it true?"
Don't know if it's true. But it is true that this is online and on Google🤷🏽♂️

Here's another. Absolutely true. Verifiable.
"Did you know that when Rajdeep Sardesai was going to New York, Atal Vajpayee supplied him with tips for where you get the best beef steak in NYC?"
Dude tweeted it himself. 🤷🏽♂️

Oh this one I've been hearing from childhood.
Is it true that the term "swayamsevak" comes from the fact that they take a vow of celibacy? 😏

You want to stop bhakts dominating top trends in India? Keep circulating one of the ideas above in different words every couple of days. If you see it tweeted, both RT and QT it. Amplify it. Make bhakts come to your mentions in droves.
Then disable replies. 😂😂
Then disable replies. 😂😂
You know what happens when you disable replies? They are forced to QT you to rant at you. In the process, helping YOUR hashtags trend. Oh yes, put clever hashtags.
Like #SavarkarHatedCows #VajpayeeLovedSteak #WasGodseCircumcised etc.
There's more to life than QTing bhakts.
