          Of bad people, containment is better than expansion.

          Because that works so very well with /pol/ on 4chan galaxy-brain

          what does the picture mean ?

          Use context clues to figure it out.

              You’re almost there.

              And, again, where does “containment” actually work on the internet?

              Even if “containment” worked (it doesn’t), you’re not going to force anyone to stop talking about a politically important fascist on an unapologetically political forum, no matter how much that upsets you.

      The post should probably be in the dunk_tank where people who don’t want to see this kind of thing can just unsubscribe from that comm. But it would be silly and counterproductive to deny people here catharsis and the ability to shit on elon’s delusional fascism (or other any strain of fascism for that matter, regardless of how rich and famous the person expressing that fascism is. ahem.)

        I understand we are a somewhat enlightened audience, but attention is what created him, and is what sustains him.

        And it trivialises his malevolence, focus on his trolling the gullible.

          but attention is what created him, and is what sustains him.

          Then why recommend people go talk about him on twitter, where it might actually feed and sustain him in a tiny way, as opposed to here, where he will never know of it? Also, while I do think there are the type of people who thrive on any kind of attention be it positive or negative, it seems clear that elon actually cries, whimpers, and rages inside at being thought of as the pathetic dumbass that he is, and requires the fawning and worship of his sycophants as positive affirmation to maintain his ego against reality, against those who say of him what is true. Talking of his malevolence doesn’t trivialize his malevolence.
