I hope I'm not being ungenerous by saying that I can think of a few candidates who would be more than happy to check Te Reo Māori translations for a Russian propaganda sewer https://www.taiuru.co.nz/reo-maori-in-russian-disinformatio/

We are here because all y'all still think that it's morally correct and politically smart to react to trolling EXACTLY THE WAY THE TROLLS WANT YOU TO REACT

We need develop immunity to memes, trolling, and harassment, because our enemies have and that's why they're winning

The US government is now run by 4chan trolls, who act like 4chan trolls, and people are now screaming and crying about social media posts, WHICH IS PRECISELY WHAT 4CHAN TROLLS WANT

It is a real psychological dilemma for me that a wave of protest action against anti-queer fascism in New Zealand is being led by people who treated me, personally, like shit, backed Assad in Syria, are cheerleaders for Chinese cops and prisons, and are now media/NGO superstars

Probably my most conservative-coded belief is: everyone has a free choice between good and evil, and most people tend to chose evil because it's easier and more fun. Change those terms to "pro-social and anti-social" if you prefer. So, game theory is necessary.

Probably a lot of Irish people got all excited when the barricades went up in 1969 and British soldiers/Orange pogromists started getting whacked. It was a lot less fun 10 years later, let alone 20 years later.
