Then stop already. Stop mentioning the name. Stop posting articles about it. Stop sharing articles about it on other social media.

You know what's immoral? Posting ragebait articles about a platform because you know users will engage.

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.
