Karl Heinz Häsliprinz@breadandcircuses How do people keep falling for grifters like Tate... He's thriving of the audience and air here. If the extra attention leads to just one or two new followers for his extorionist-rape cult, he got exactly what he wanted. That's why it was the right decision to ban people like him permanently.

Agreed, but now that he's back ridicule is the best thing that can happen to him. He has a big influence with teenage boys, and the more adults aware of him and able to counter his bile, the better.
@ClaireCopperman @breadandcircuses Mhm, it's complicated. I honestly think he is so dangerous that death silence is preferable - especially from someone like Greta who has massive hate-follower counts already.
Tate engaging with her is a mass shooting at a gender-climate-nexus event in the making. He is about as dangerous as an ISIS recruiter.

I see your point, and I do fear for Greta, but I think she's done the right thing. One response which has seen him made the laughing stock of the world and then nothing else. If she'd kept quiet it wouldn't have stopped him baiting her.
Greta is used to managing all the hate and does so really well. I loathe the fact that it's necessary, but unfortunately the fossil fuel lobby has deep pockets.
Idk, in my book that's not how attention seeking grifters work. Same reason why deplatforming them in the first place was a good thing.
Any name recognition is good name recognition for them. He only has use for already heavily radicalized guys, he's stage three of the Joe Rogan - Jordan Peterson - Tate - Terrorattack pipeline. Public opinion is irrelevant at that stage, he is targeting a small audience of radicalized individuals.
Obviously, not gonna tell Greta what to do, but I'd be surprised if she knew just how bad Tate really is.
I do dig the "now the parents of the targeted boys have heard the name" - But I don't see a theory of change from there to a prevented Terrorattack.
