Calling attention to it doesn’t stop it from happening.
Yes, it does
Care to provide an example?
Yes, let's not report on evil people making propaganda. That way they can do their shit uninterrupted and with zero scrutiny.
Ignorance is usually the cause of this shit, not the solution.
They’re doing it anyways. Maybe talking about it isn’t the way to stop it. Ever think of that?
Not with that attitude it won't.
It won’t with any attitude. Look around, we still have racism, sexism, bigotry… all of these things are called out daily.
As long as common sense remains optional, there will always be people that will disregard it in favor of an agenda. And no amount of attention to it will change this.
Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.
LMAO! The irony.
I get it. Doing nothing feels safe. That's neat for you.
Nah, I just don’t think sitting around and calling attention to somethjg so you can sit around and do jack shit about is really the way towards change.
But you go ahead and stay outraged. It’s worked wonderfully so far!
Hey, justify it however you want to justify it. Stay safe, buddy.
Do you think that we wouldn't have more of those shitty things from shitty people if nobody pushed back? Just because it's still there doesn't mean it's not working, I'd say.
Riiiiight. Congrats on the superb work bud!
Ok, buy their propaganda. Sit around and gripe righteously about how nobody can do anything while actively discouraging anyone from doing anything. Enjoy your black pill, champ. You're definitely helping.
Or you know…. Stop talking about it expecting it to stop while doing nothing about it, like you people always do and actually DO something about.
It’s the same idiot ideology that states that NOT voting brings change.
Project much?
LMAO! I don’t think that means what you think it means.
I'm happy for you.
Fucking cringe. Blocked.
LOL
