In general, accusing someone of being a shill is a poor move - even if you are right.
Instead I would encourage you to follow up with their comments and guide the argument back to it's basic facts - like that China is rounding up Muslims in camps and may be engaging in forced sterilization, and that allowing TikTok may not align with freedom.
Obviously don't spam or just blindly become a shill yourself, but just make the shilling activity do the opposite of what a shill might want.
- leaflets2 4y agoHmm I wouldn't use a negatively loaded word like "shill"? It's not the paid trolls who are the problem (some of them might as well have been my friends, had I live at another place. Maybe they need money to feed their kids, who's to blame them for that) -- it's the CCP and Xi who are the problem. > follow up with their comments and guide the argument back to it's basic facts If there was time for that. Do you have time for that? I think there's mostly not time for that. Maybe I'd mostly just delete paid content (CCP propaganda) if it was my forum
