is how to counteract it.
Find the things they try to bury and bump them.
Preferably after you've waited a week or so. That way it costs them more effort.

Making them feel futile is essential. And merely not responding doesn't do it; you have to bring the stuff they tried to bury with propaganda back up.
Their strategy counts on being able to find people who disagree and intimidate them before that happens. Very 1984. You know, very Chinese.
Unfortunately that doesn't work very well against people in the US; we tend to buy an extra box of shells and keep the alarm button a little closer to hand. And even that's only if we're paranoid.
And we all get to vote instead of only 10% of us.
