You feed the monster. Monster gains strength. You cut off the supply of food, oxygen, water. Monster grows weak, withers and dies.
Now tell me again how do we handle rogue far right media outlets governed by megalomaniacs?
Why does supplying content, engagement and revenue to them equal furthering their cause and strengthening them? I want the public to know who the actors are that feed the monster. I want the public to know when they cast their votes.
I believe in the common sense of my fellow citizen, less in that of those feasting around the table of the lobbyists or seeking to stroke their vain egos.
Every normal person can see the cause and effect of feeding the monster.
"We need to be there to reach out, to be seen, or we're not going to be part of the conversation"
No you don't. You need to stop feeding the monster is what you need to do.
Or you are nothing but a little louse to quote Jonathan Lionheart.
It's actually "you're not a human, you're nothing but a little *shit*" in the Swedish original.
Jonathan told me how there are things you have to do, even if they are dangerous. "Why is that?" I asked. "Because if you don't you're not a human being, you're nothing but a little louse," Jonathan replied.
