    So? One can be part of the issue whilst addressing it. He’s an influential person, would you rather have him not say anything about it?

          So?

          I’m speaking up. Things will never change if nobody is allowed to speak up, right?

          He’s fucking vile.

            You’re not speaking up. You’re trying to silence the guy who’s speaking up. You’re also just posting something on a niche forum with maybe a few hundred like-minded people at best viewing your comment. In what world is that speaking up?

            Also, I haven’t seen him do a lot of vile stuff yet, so I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt.

              You’re not speaking up.

              Wrong!

              You’re trying to silence the guy who’s speaking up.

              Ridiculous. One person on Lemmy can’t silence the Pope by responding to his latest press release. I know what my motivation is… and believe me, it’s not “trying to silence the Pope”.

              You’re also just posting something on a niche forum with maybe a few hundred like-minded people at best viewing your comment. In what world is that speaking up?

              You can speak up with only ONE person viewing/listening to your comment. How do you not know this?

              Also, I haven’t seen him do a lot of vile stuff yet, so I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt.

              His organization is evil and revolting with centuries of horrifying history, and truly unspeakable acts to this day. But, you can suck up to whatever billionaire organizations that you’d like to, don’t let me dissuade you. I like watching your efforts to defend a massive, multinational organization that has robbed communities for many generations.

              It’s funny

                Ok Donald. Nice straw man arguments. Is that all you got? K, here we go:

                I never said you succeeded in silencing him, but you sure are trying.

                No, speaking up is sticking your neck out. Preaching to the choir is just complaining.

                And I’m not defending, let alone sucking up to any billionaire organisation. If anything, you are, by trying to silence the guy speaking up against them. Perhaps the only wise decision you could make after this clusterfuck of a comment of yours is to stop your pathetic attempt to frame me and stop embarrassing yourself.

      So? He’s a piece of shit, and his church is evil incarnate.

      How about he starts paying taxes like the rest of Earth? You may be fine with thieving rapists sharing their opinion about other thieving rapists, that’s your right.

      And it’s my right to point out what they are and what they do.
