    While some of the same words appear in these two things, they are nothing alike.

    The debate over whether recognizing racism can help us eliminate it has nothing to do with an unhinged billionaire who uses shock tactics to generate PR, and the bottom-feeding publications who give it to him by stoking our disgust.

      No, it’s very much similar. You’re saying don’t even talk about it, when the article is about how it is a corrupted service. A service that at least used to have global reach. If a service is a globally used resource, it’s kinda’ institutionalized.

      Since when did ignoring institutionalized injustice ever fix it? Never. It never gets fixed in the dark.

      I understand the concept of not feeding trolls, but do not misjudge and accidentally ask people to ignore villains.

        It’s a corrupted service, therefore it’s a service, therefore it’s an institution, therefore it’s institutionalized injustice….

        Feeling a little loose after all that stretching? I guess the policies of every website company in the world now constitute institutionalized injustice. I’ll use that phrase next time I’m appealing the Facebook modbot.

        I wouldn’t say we should never talk about Twitter and it’s impact on our world. I will say it is a media circus which is paraded about far, far too often to its corrupt owners benefit. And it needs to have less attention than it is getting like a fire needs less air.

          Way to treat an association as an exact replica… I’m trying to put bread crumbs down, not rope them together. Stop pretending you do not know what an alegory is.

          If you understand the general topic should not be shunned … why are you speaking on behalf of shunning it?

            I answered that. Last paragraph. Stop spinning wild extrapolations out of your ass for a second and just read some hard text.
