f-bae-i amirite

 

This entire thread is amazing:

This part stuck out to me. This is the real truth.

 

When I said "need a face (or faces)" I was talking about people not covering their faces so that the individuals watching a video can relate to Antifa more. It's easier to see yourself as one of them if they look just like you.

And I did think it needed a way to present itself as the common people who all wanted to force change that wasn't going to come until they forced it. It's just that the way they visually present themselves is important when everyone has a video camera pointed at them.

But it's clear we disagree which is okay. I was just offering my suggestion on a way that I think Antifa could appear more approachable.

 

Approachable

If people are able to identify them than nazis will doxx and harass them and the media will too.

 

Would someone actually be fired because they were identified as being part of an anti-racist group? Sure, the media will try to say they are bad but when viewers see the videos with faces similar to their faces then it will be harder for the media to win over with the negativity they are pushing.

 

Happy fake labor day weekend

 

Lol. People have been fired for less.

 

Lmao

 

Remember when nazis put up a gofundme to find and kill the guy who punched Spencer a few months ago? I think that's all the evidence you need

 

Fascists already have a public database of all kinds of leftist activists in KeyWiki. Police have 10x the information and technology. Almost all states have at-will employment, meaning employers can fire employees for almost anything.

 

If losing employment the worst thing that can happen after being doxxed, one must be new to the internet; in this world, death threats and harassment are frequent and abundant things, and in this case, the police are more likely to kill you rather than help (see all assassinated Ferguson activists).

 

Late last year, a family friend went missing and she still hasn't been found. I took to social media to defend her name from some of the slander I saw coming out of the woodwork from people who don't know her. One of those places was, of course, the cesspool that is Reddit. My username on there is my real name because, when I first made the account (it was a few years ago), I wanted to force myself to only post things on Reddit that I wouldn't later regret having associated with my name.

That turned on me very quickly. Internet trolls took to "sleuthing" me, my friends, and my family members. I was accused of all sorts of heinous things from people I will never know or meet. They went through my Facebook profile (which was fairly open at the time but is now locked up tight) and found a terrible student film I made in 2009 about human trafficking. One of the actresses who had a secondary role in the short also happened to have the same name as the family friend who went missing. As a result, the trolls took to Reddit, Facebook and other forms of social media to smear my name. They claimed I was shutting down their inane theories because I was secretly hiding my involvement in the disappearance of said friend. Their claim was that the actress's name similarity and the thematic elements of my short film from 2009 implied I had harbored a deep obsession for this girl for years and then trafficked her. Naturally I thought this would blow over because it was so asinine. I was wrong. They reported me to the police, found my mother's phone number and called her, sent me messages telling me they were going to contact members of my family (one of them was my 80 year-old great aunt), and then, when other people on Reddit came to my defense, they began poring through my Facebook friends list in an attempt to link my friends to the people defending me. They stalked one of my friends (who was not on Reddit and had no idea what the hell was going on), found her place of employment and called her boss to complain about her and harass her. I had to message my family and friends to tell them to lock up their profiles tight because these people were nuts. When they weren't busy stalking me or the people I love, they sent me threatening messages and mocked my wife and son (who is not even two years-old yet). It was an absolute nightmare. I found out who a few of them were and, unsurprisingly, there are an awful lot of Trump supporters who obsessively traffic in conspiracy theories related to missing persons cases no matter how ridiculous they are.

So I guess what I'm getting at here should be fairly obvious.

 

Jesus Christ, sorry you and your family had to go through that

 

Thank you. I actually forgot to mention that I had also made a video for her family to help spread awareness. One of the rumors people began spreading about me and then taking as verifiable fact (sound familiar?) was that I had made that video because I work in the film industry and was trying to retain the "movie rights" to her story so I could go on to selfishly capitalize on her disappearance. I've known this girl for nearly two decades. I was so disgusted on top of being genuinely terrified of these people. Still am. Hesitant to even write any of this.

 

Just drove by a "Defend Donald Trump" demonstration in my home town. Well, "demonstration" is a strong word, it was like four elderly people with folding tables and signs taped to them. So I queued up the beginning of FDT, turned my volume all the way up, circled back around and drove by real slow; when one of them looked like he was going to come over and talk to me I hit play as I slowly drove away and YG told them all that really needs to be said. The look of pure horror on their faces, ahhhh

My cousin was just diagnosed with leukemia. I think she just went in for a general check up, they caught it and now she's in the hospital.

Go to your doctor folks.

 

It was just Ludacris walking around in a police uniform

 

I'm sorry, Nate.
