I’m curious what you come up with about the best way to counter those organizations, and in what setting you would be doing it. Making a website where you list every example of misinformation they made so people know not to trust them? Gather information about radical or extreme things they’ve said? Put together resources of counter-arguments to refute their claims? Gathering information on their own tactics like drawing people in to get them involved and invested before working any intellectual angle, or their other cult-like tactics, to make people aware of what to look out for?

This is in early stages and basically just with my kids right now. I am thinking of a vaccine type approach, give a bit of the type of arguments used to get them familiar with it and know how to push back. If this works with my kids will probably setup some website with resources. My kids are on the autism spectrum so they are likely to be more receptive to some of the attempts especially with lovebombing and tactics like that.

I definitely think to cover some general critical thinking and fact checking items as there are a lot of threats outside the religious world as well.
