Nothing on the internet is real.
Don’t feed the trolls.
I feel like if there was a dedicated class in schools worldwide, that just did nothing but teach these two things over and over again, the world would be a better place.
…Because the fundamental issue is that people are believing this guy. And feeding him. He is a troll, making cash being a troll; he cannot help himself. But the public maybe possibly can.
That has been my go to for a long time, but then you get people upset and demanding mods censor words and view points and of course advertisers pumping real money to people in exchange for hosting content. So it makes a mess of things :/
