10 years ago, that incel that smeared the daycare centers in Minnesota

Would have been sued so fucking hard, he'd end up in prison and his great, great, great, great grandchildren would still be paying off the fucking settlement.

What I would like, is a list of any fucking corporations, businesses, or individuals that have given him a penny over the past 5 years.

Those that have monetized his dumbass, ought to pay a price. Their businesses, websites, customer service lines, etc., should be burning up with pissed-off people.

Nothing will change! The racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy...NONE OF IT...will change, unless and until we make racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy UNPROFITABLE to the corporations, businesses and individuals that fund and enable it.

2. I don't know this guy's business model

(and, no, I'm not going to bother to 'research' the little weasel)
But I would hazard a guess, just based on what else we see, that this 'influencer' (like most) is primary funded by the general public. (as opposed to 'businesses' and 'corporations, or 'foreign agents', etc. ) In other words, it's our own dumb assed selves ... Feverishly poking at those icons - hoovering up that content! (regardless how - and sometimes in preference of - how sh*tty it might be ..) That is giving this Kirk wannabee his approval (and whatever monetary awards are accrued) And it is this human metric - not some dirty dark cabal - with evil overlords ... Musk, Putins, Theils, Trumps ... That is enabling and financing.

The next level of that argument is of course the 'platforms'. But, there too, is that really a road we want to go down? People can't make this kind of content? Post it? People can't watch? As example - right here on DU - we're pretty insistent on a 'right' to a certain amount of amateur, poorly sourced, click-bait content. With the general reaction there, "If you don't like it, don't watch .. " So ... We don't want to make any such 'call' ...

5. Okay. Start with YouTube and TikTok. Good luck getting folks behind that.

I assume you're talking about Nick Shirley. I have to assume because you didn't actually reference the subject of your rant for reasons I can't quite grasp.

But anyway, this loser is a bigger fucking nobody today without the two mentioned platforms. Again, good luck.

8. maxrandb, I wish everyone understood this. There seems to be no will to do it, though.
