I respectfully disagree. If everyone ignores them completely, they have absolutely zero power. I want absolutely nothing to do with it, but I can't escape it. Even people who know it's fake news propaganda still spread it. It's like a virus. It needs to be 100% eradicated. The only way to do that is to 100% turn it off. Even consuming it to debunk it affects you. You can't help but be manipulated in some way.
