If someone is an obvious tankie or far-right troll, just be like "Lol loser" and never elaborate further.

Or you can call out bad faith and veiled extremist views in a few words. It only takes a little more effort.

Sometimes that is infinitely better for people reading (who are not in the know) and it still gives the person with the controversial views something to latch on to that inadvertently exposes their beliefs and bad faith further if they keep engaging.
