The alt right runs a playbook that is built on the backbone of their enemies (anti-racists) are effectively addicted to reasonable discussion. They want to believe that everyone is a reasonable good faith actor who can be swayed by a pursuasive well structured argument. The alt right knows this and takes advantage. They do classic troll bait strategies hoping to exhaust their enemies and push them out of the discussion so that they can control the narrative and pipeline more people to the alt right. Their goal is not free speach, reasoned debates. Their goal is bad faith time wasting.
