I dunno', kinda' sounds similar to, "racism would be over if you'd just shut up about it."
X and Elon don't magically disappear because you choose to ignore them.
And it would be similar to that if racism was a business that survived based on engagement.
If you think it isn't, you clearly haven't been paying attention to all of racism in general and hypercapitalist neofascism in particular.
It’s not “x” it’s called Twitter.
This is a good case for deadnaming.
I dunno. Racism isn’t entirely manifested by one man. He’s just one more bucket of piss in a sea of piss. Fuck him. We can at any time choose to ignore him. Choose to ignore his shit app. He doesn’t matter to any equation, he’s just an annoying rich person struggling with their addiction to child pornography. Wups did I say the silent part out loud. Shit.
Well, that's way more true than it is false. The way the left hyped up race as the single most important and defining feature of people wasn't exactly helpful. The idea of racial realism should be deconstructed, not actively supported. I have literally never seen as much racism in my life as what the left has been doing in the last 10-15 years.
And as for Elon, ignoring him would go a long way as well. The only reason why he is relevant, is because news media hypes up everything he says, no matter how false or irrelevant it is. Simply sticking to the important news, instead of clickbait and hype, would go a long way to quiet things down.
