    Okay random thought here, feel free to disagree: What would happen if we stopped fucking reporting on every little thing these psychopathic assholes say? Would people not know and thus not be influenced by these insane ideas? My gut says yeah.

      TBH, I don’t care what they do anymore. I understood who they were the first time, and their trajectory is to double down on their core character flaws.

      If somebody doesn’t know by now who these people are and what they represent, the only reasonable thing to assume is they were an off-grid hermit that just decided to come back to society.

      I agree. Someone the other day made a good point about Micheal Knowles. He gets around 14k-20k views/video. That is not that much in the grand scheme of things, and there are people less famous who blow those numbers out of the water. And they used to advertise him on Reddit all the time. The media likes to make it look like he has a big following, but he doesn’t.
