You are correct, of course.
One-on-one interaction is something that can work effectively in many cases, but unfortunately, the water supply is poisoned. When people are actively seeking out content that validates their bias (confirmation bias on amphetamines, basically.) they will revert to previous state fairly quick.
I can think of several bulk solutions, many of which would put me on a watch list or two. Ideally, we need to find a bigger and better source for dopamine shots that doesn't thrive on confirmation bias and gives negative feedback on anti-social behavior.
Can you tell I am just frustrated?
