By now I feel like the Luigi way is the only way, but at the same time I know that when you cut off one head, another one, or several, will grow back. Maybe it's time for a revolution, in which the entire system can be redrawn so it cannot be abused anymore... But that's also far too optimistic thinking.
The pope is ‘working for the Chinese Communists’" is pretty absurd and not supportive or amplifying
You find it absurd but not everyone. It is amplifying. He has a following.
The strategy of deplatforming works on people trying to spread their message to a wide crowd,
Yeah, like Thiel with his public speakings about the antichrist etc. Thiel does want as much people to follow his idiotic ideas, he does speak publicly and this absurt thing about the pope is also him making a public statement to manipulate the crowd. The fact that we're having a discussion about it is already a win for him. He wants to create chaos and his opposition to fight each other, which is exactly what we're doing right now.
The more you spread his bullshit, the more people will believe that shit. Same goes for Elon or any of the other billionaire crooks, and the entire fascist US government.
Just treat anything they say as complete and utter bullshit, don't spread it, just react that they are crazy as fuck and hopefully enough people will see it that way. Spreading their word just gives them more power and reach, while all they deserve is accountability for their actions and only to be remembered for what they actually are: rich criminal pedo lunatics who love nothing more than to bring agony and suffering onto others and destabilize the world for their own benefit.
Just treat them as a laughing stock, it will hurt them the most. It takes the wind out of their sails. Amplifying their words does the opposite.
What does it matter? His whole life he's been a demented asshole. Nothing has changed. He's still a demented asshole and a perfect representation of the republican party. I hope they broke his ribs during CPR.
This is the 5th post I see about this on Lemmy, within a few minutes. Why is Lemmy overflooded with bullshit said by tech billionaires? Stop give assholes like this any attention. Do not spread their word. They want to despabalize the world for their own gain and you are helping him. Negative attention is also attention. Treat them like the crazy neighbor: just ignore them.
Stop giving world destabilizing billionaire assholes any attention. You are just spreading his message. Negative attention is also attention. Why is this even in the Technology category? If you desperately want to give people like this any attention, do it the Luigi way.
Reality is more like the trolly is traveling on a straight track while the entire world is going to hell around it, but there's nothing you can do because the trolly just goes on and on.
I think the second has the most potential. But I don't need a sword to be honest.
