But if they had a collective-intelligence, whose purpose really is to assimilate all other intelligences (and ideas, and so consequently ideals) then one would hope an honest, good-faith battle for ideas would play out inside this collective-intelligence and they would see just how indefensible that incel/MRA/redpill rubbish is compared to other ideas grounded in more substance.
More fundamentally: a lot of reactionary opinion and right-leaning politics are predicated on a lack of empathy for others: I detect (armchair diagnosis) a lot of behaviour attributable to being on autistic-spectrum amongst far-right activists on the internet: it’s easy to rail against proponents of equality and doing things for a greater-good when one can’t relate to them - or be physically incapable of relating to them - but neurotypical people can end up also being unable to relate to others online, and this isn’t anything new: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/my-life-aspergers/200811/is-the-internet-making-people-little-bit-autistic https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/my-life-aspergers/20...
...so if there really was a collective-intelligence comprised of the worst of reactionary right-wing internet users, then I would actively encourage them to harvest the brains of the Tumblr users they troll so much: that way they would assimilate empathy and finally understand for themselves how the rest of the world operates.
