At this point, is any racist shit from that dude even worth posting news about? Like i get that there should be consequences but i do not see any. All i see is info about a man i really do not want to read anything about. Daily. Not even only on here. Why does the internet have to be so god damn us-centric that i can not escape their crazy billionaires?

Especially in the "technology" forum :/

Yup, it's still worth posting. Always call out bad behavior. Silence is acceptance.

He's just about whittled his support down to the sort of people that cheer on that sort of shit, just like Trump

Once you get to that point News like this actually does help him. The people who care already know and so this just builds up his core supporters.
