Just a quick FYI, you know nit-picking a small grammar error in the title, hardly noticable.

The "Re-" prefix generally implies that the thing had previously existed.

Well first you'd have to actually be correct in your assessment of the situation, while the poster is just masturbating their ego without ever even considering taking more than a cursory glance at the real world.

Maybe you should go out in the real world once in a while too. Talk to real people instead of whinging online about discussions you aren't capable of understanding.

Practice your SAT words, grow as a person, stop regurgitating fascist talking points... you know, that kind of stuff.

what exactly is the situation by your assessment then?

Many disparate bad actors are exploiting information technology to attempt building false narratives to forward their goals. Regardless of what you believe is the best option politically, if you continue to consume these false realities you're going to do far more harm to your causes than good.

so do nothing and watch it all fall apart until someone starts dropping nukes. great approach.

You're being deliberately disingenuous in your interpretation, but I'll respond anyways for the benefit of others here.

What I suggest is that if you truly care deeply about these issues, you should devote quite a bit more time and effort into actually learning about it and related subjects, and seeking meaningful ways to get personally involved in a much more impactful position. Try starting here if you need a push in the right direction.

So armed...revolution? Am I reading between the lines correctly?

Denazification is the process which comes to mind as the closest analog. That process took years, and arguably was not necessarily effective.

But the name of the game is deradicalization. It isn't enough to try and teach these people e.g. critical thinking skills -- they have been radicalized by years of propaganda exposure. Many of them no longer understand the difference between facts and opinions -- there is no basis for instruction.
