I wonder sometimes if it is self defeating to brow beat, say "I told you so", or rub someone's face in it. Enjoyable as it may be.

Some people only learn when something bad happens to them.
-
Perhaps in private, but not if you remind them.
Consider this. Your asshole detestable uncle loses his house. On the one hand you can text him and say you deserve what you get you piece of shit.
Or invite him over to watch a baseball game. Avoid politics. Quietly remind him not everyone is a piece of shit.
Which do you think will more likely change his mind? Or which one will he double down on, write it off as an accident, and go deeper down the hole. I took one for the team.

Both of those require interacting with people in real life, which I avoid because humans are the most dangerous animals on the planet

That's the mosquito

Humans kill billions, maybe trillions, of other animals and millions of their own every year.
Mosquitos need to get on our level.

In terms of humans killed, mosquitoes have us 2 to 1:

Crisises like this is the opening to recruit the hitherto reactionary proletariat. Opinions are most often fickle anyways amongst the poorly educated. But damn its hard to not to feel gleeful for the suffering of hatefull fools.

Schadenfreude for the wicked is something we all indulge in, but prolonging pain rather than soothing it breeds hatred. Some kind of fuel for the onlookers, but what happens when you unchain the dog you've been beating? Someone's going to win. Perhaps your team because the ire is high. But sacrifices have to be made. Your kin may die. Is that an acceptable result? That's up to you to decide.

You have to ridicule them a little in person: "What exactly were you expecting, did you think people were overreacting?"
The problem is you're never going to be able to stop the internet from over indulging on mockery.
-
No you can't change the internet's mind, but how do people react to when ridiculed? How do you? I guess it all depends on what the end game is
-
It all depends on how thin your skin is.
