Most ppl can't or wont. Cognitive features play a role. Also time restrictions. Interest restrictions. It takes a certain kind of person to "notice".
I notice because I have a strong interest in the appraisal of arguments/arguing tactics. Also, you picked a topic sure to draw my attention.
So. To combat propaganda flooding, you would first have to understand the purpose of it. Then, do the opposite.
It depends on your goal. Personally I'd rather just combat it being used as a tactic. By explaining it to people I hope to make it recognizable and thus ineffective. Also, it helps me understand it better when I try to explain it If explaining it fails, usually mirroring the tactic works. In this case I might create a bunch of threads with slightly modified titles like "Gentiles and how to love them", "Gentile empowerment", and "Equal Oppression Theory (nazi-ism and jewism)", etc.
But is it worth that kind of energetic investment? Depends on whether you choose to care about it. Some don't have enough of a reason to care. Others do.
My reasons were to examine the tactic and to see what you wanted, since I thought your flood was designed to get my attention.
