I actually watched this in action in a group chat I'm in (national chat so I know basically nobody in it).
new person expresses positive opinion of PSL re: protests
dude links red flags document (I actually checked this at the time and was like hell no I'm not clicking on a google document link)
Gets dogpiled by clique of people (like 4-5 in a big chat)
they start accusing the new person of trolling every time they chime in to any conversation
eventually gets kicked for refusing to take them seriously
for being very concerned about "high control groups" they were being highly controlling
This only works in chat groups if the owner of the chat group is anti-psl. If the owners of the group are not, then the members of the group are free to defend it with full energy and they get dogpiled.
In the chats owned by someone who's anti-PSL in the first place, this is much much harder.
On top of that you have the situations where a chat owner is anti-tankie but does not consider PSL to be tankies because only bad people can be tankies and they've actually met good people involved with PSL or know of PSL organised events, this makes a sorta brainwormed soup mess but also benefits PSL.
