      On the one hand, I fully agree, we need to limit his power by just not fucking paying attention to him. On the other, if we stop trying to broadcast what an odious fucking human being he is, the more he’ll be able to pump money into media outlets and PACs to influence global policy in his favor

        Yeah. Most of his power comes from his literal hundreds of billions of dollars of wealth, not the attention. Ignoring him will not suddenly make him a working-class bloke like everyone else.

        Exactly. He’s like a predator in the wild. You want to know exactly where he is and what he’s doing while you try to drink water and eat something.
