He's instructing people to be just as dismissive, to not click the link provided, and to ensure that they change the mind of the person who provided the link none the less. You see any critical thinking in that?

I get your point about why it is problematic but I love his work too much to hold it against him in any way. In the context of the documentary where he shows how PR companies fund shill organizations to push a message through the media, it came across as funny to me. You are right though, it isn't healthy behavior to encourage. We should always be open minded enough to hear people out, particularly when its difficult, instead of dismissing them without consideration.
