I know this isn't what you intended to say but it what your statement implies is that everyone who disagrees is uncaring, idiotic, or evil. It might do you well to spend some time finding people to respect on the other side and listen to why they advocate for things you find so distasteful.

I am trying to follow this supposed implication but I don't see the jump from "the valley" to "everyone who disagrees" and also from "dragging feet" and "making vapid appeals" to "idiotic and evil".

I will agree it's a bit of a stretch and I pattern matched to other arguments I have seen but "massive-scale abuse" and "real and actual harm" is language that presupposes a negative moral judgement about what is happening.

You think it is worth debating whether massive troll farms spreading misinformation and stoking hatred and division on a nation-state scale is good or bad?
