There's another, more effective and less violent and non-solipsistic way. A great deal of the power of fascism stems from their economic position. Guys like Zuck and Elon are dangerous because of their enormous wealth, not merely because of their toxic political views.
And since you can't just Luigi Mangione the problem of economic elitism, you need collective action at an economic level to starve out the beast.
Incidentally, the "starve the beast" strategy is a conservative approach historically espoused and employed by Grover Norquist, Tom DeLay, and now (via the guise of DEI) Bill Ackman, Peter Thiel, and Donald Trump.
