    Incredibly stupid attitude. Do you think everyone who reads about fascism is interested in fascism? Eager to get the latest updates from how fascists are doing?

    The manosphere crap is already affecting your life whether you’re aware of it or not. This is not celebrity gossip, it is the same hijacking of new media that 10 years ago put a reality TV host in the White House. Things aren’t relevant to you until they are very, very relevant to you.

      I don’t give a fuck about social media “influencers” or the people who listen to them. If every one of them and every one of their viewers burned to death right now I think the world would be a better place. If you want to spend your life studying up on what folks are saying on internet streams, you go right ahead and do that.

        You didn’t even understand what I wrote so maybe I’m being overly optimistic that you can understand secondary effects.
