Bad analogy.

If someone is making an argument from bad faith, that's intentional and it's a waste of time to correct them or engage them at all.

All the "fact checking" links that are displayed now when you post about controversial subjects on social media platforms do very little to change minds and only reinforce the idea that there's some global narrative that's controlled by a cabal. They merely only serve to make people who already agree with the positions that are being linked to as fact checks better about spending time online.
