That said, I see value in posting for the peanut gallery (when I encounter Nazis here, I don’t go on Twitter).
But debating Nazis? Hoping to change their minds?
Nah, prefer to serve them knuckle sandwiches and go about my day.

This reads like you making the assumption that people are born Nazis and it’s not a learned behaviour.
Some people can hold their beliefs because of the environment they grew up in and many can actually change if people actually cared about educating people and not just feeling superior.
I want to stress this is only my opinion and I respect that you have yours too.

I agree with what you’re saying generally.
But in the context of X, and Meta too. These are Nazi echo chambers. By design. It’s not an environment generally conducive to getting through to folks.
If someone was closed-minded, you know around a campfire smoking a joint, I could probably plant some seeds right.
But on X, I don’t think there’s anything I could say that would cut through their cognitive dissonance.
