>>509686352Ignore and Move On: If the reply adds nothing to your thread, let it slide. /pol/ threads move fast, and feeding trolls can derail your discussion. Most anons will skim past low-effort bait like this.
Play the Game with Wit: If you want to engage, match their tone without getting butthurt. For example:“>calling me an imbecile
Sick burn, anon, but my ID’s cooler than your whole post history. Discuss.”
This keeps it light, flips the insult, and leans into the “cool ID” remark to stay on-brand with /pol/’s ironic humor.
Deflect and Refocus: If your thread is serious and you want to keep it on track, acknowledge the jab but pivot back to your topic:“>imbecile
Cool story, anon. Anyway, [restate your thread’s main point or question].”
This shows you’re not rattled and keeps the thread’s momentum.
