Another option, as opposed or in addition to being careful of who we interact with, is to be less reactive if our buttons are pushed. If a paid shill (or just a random Joe) says something inflammatory about a group we identify with, it would be in our best interest not to immediately lash out in response. Shrugging it off might be the better solution, especially if there is reason to suspect that there are mobs of paid shills out there with the express intention of dividing us. We seem to have lost the ability to "live and let live", to any reasonable degree. That's what they are actually weaponizing in this case. Not to say that doing this is easy, but I think it's something we should aspire to.
