I'm seeing a few pieces suggesting that "we should not forgive" and I agree to the extent that this is too much to ask from people who have been really hurt by their supposed friends and loved ones, or who personally at risk. On the other hand... personal relationships are what provide a path back for people who have fallen for disinfo.

So the problems are: it's morally repugnant, depending on your outlook. It's emotionally demanding. It's person to person, and so not scalable, and to the extent it's reflected in mass scale comms, counterproductive to communicating to a politician's base. That's why we don't have any short term answers. (Long term answers are around media literacy and critical thinking, but you need to be in power or otherwise have the means to fund a huge and ongoing campaign).
