Let it happen in silence. Like donating time / money / or anything else to help those in need. Don’t need to call out you’re being a good person, just be a good person. Do the right thing and let him pass silently into obscurity.
I agree. But only because I understand that the world in which I grew up is gone. The level of being able to profit off of and market oneself off of being a complete fucking loser and failure is too damn high.
I wish we could just point and laugh at awful people having funny things happen to them without them remaining relevant because of it. The fucking attention economy is awful.
The world has changed, or reverted back to a period where fascists will support each other to insulate the most at risk through their own “charity” to try to mitigate the dying or regression of their movement. You have to learn what their tactics are and respond accordingly, which in today’s case is to ignore them instead of point and laugh. There will soon be a time for that, too.
Okay, I’m not going to refute any of that. Taking your comment at face value still makes the original a strange analogy, because raising awareness is important for charity. You shouldn’t do charity in silence, is my point more than anything.
I’m not sure you’re understanding who is doing the charity - we’re talking about the fascists doing charity for each other in this case. They’re literally fund raising for each other when they are going viral, it’s like anti cancel culture in their minds. So by raising awareness, you’re literally helping them. Raise awareness of fascist tactics, of bad and deadly policy, of prosecutions, demand local leaders take action, but stop posting social media posts and comments and that just bring attention to individual fascists you don’t like, because that’s just helping them. If you need to report them to authorities, just do that.

Sometimes it’s good to spread this kind of negative publicity, especially where positive action is needed for the person in question to succeed.
Sort of a strange analogy to me because raising awareness is actually a very important part of charity.

I don’t think you’re understanding me. I’m talking about the original comment. They said:
This is the strange analogy part, to me, as you should not do these things quietly. Raising awareness is an important part of partaking in charity.
Let Kid Rock become obsolete in silence -> This part I agree with.
Don’t raise awareness about other acts of charity -> This part I don’t agree with.
