I downvoted because the fact that issues exists doesn't justify the proposed "solutions". It's like saying that bloodletting has a point because patients really were sick, those things are not causally related.
I think that even having no one talk about problems is better than having someone talk about problems to actively do harm and gain power. One part of my reasons is usually this is not the case, and some already talk about the same problems but are not heard. Another reason is that when a problem is widely spread and there is no one exploiting it or raising awareness, there exists a pressure to start doing just that. So even no one is better than Tate.
Ok but they never said it did. They just pointed out that saying "assholes like Andrew State are responsible" leaves out that there's a reason people go to him and thus is not the actual root problem
Wow, you're trash
Reason people go to Tate is not because issues exist, there's reason to people going to any liar or scammer and it's never the issue at hand, it's the illusion of a simple answer.
