Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
The way to isolate them would be to integrate them into committed groups of socialists. For example, sending them to work in a factory that's worked solely by registered party members. The isolation wouldn't be like a jail cell, rather planned activities where they're not spending all their time doomscrolling social media or what have you.
Of course, they wouldn't be put in charge of anything where they could implement their reactionary beliefs or sabotage/undermine others. In the factory example, maybe they help on an assembly line or clean up spills on the factory floor. Maybe they just shadow one of the workers. The point is to get them out of their beliefs by showing them socialism works.
This isn't something that would be feasible for all of them. Incels being a good example where the quickest solution would be to have them work alongside women. But that would risk exposing those women to harm, so the incel can't be allowed out into the world and may have to stay in the incel camp.
Like I said, this will be the most difficult undertaking ever done by socialists. There's going to be a lot of problems rehabilitating American reactionaries not seen in China or the Soviet Union. It's a logistical nightmare. It will be necessary, however, because the alternative is having socialism fail or carrying out mass murder.
