Every time I tell you what I think of you it gets deleted. So I’ll just say see you next Tuesday.

Barbarians.

If you want to know why I’m an atheist.

What kind of entity has 3 different sects of people who all believe this is what it wants?

Religion is a cancer.

This whole shit storm has been about one thing. Putins legacy as the czar that reformed the USSR. That’s it. He wants to lift the iron curtain high once more. It’s all dick stroking by a madman.

Why hasn’t the cancer killed the mother fucker already?

This child was not Hamas. The ambulance was not Hamas.

If anyone should understand the horrors of genocide it’s the Jewish people. This is the same level of nightmare the world watched in horror in the 1940s.

This is madness.

Personal experience.

From personal experience about 80% of the harassment I recieve is from straight white american males, not kids either, many times they’re middle aged. There are some females in the mix, rarely people of colour but there have been a few.

If I were to guess I would imagine it’s because women and people of colour also belong to vulnerable communities and run the risk of attracting the wrong type of attention and becoming targets themselves.

Not every white american male is a troll or violent obviously but since 2015 the ones who are continue to become active threats.

Honestly I see them almost as victims themselves. No troll, stalker, mass shooter, etc started out that way. They became radicalized online by getting wrapped up in online activities they were not emotionally nor intellectually equipped to handle.

An example is the Christchurch massacre https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christchurch_mosque_shootings

He didn’t start out as a mass murderer, he was radicalized online in places like 8chan. He even posted on 8chan that they needed to keep an eye on Christchurch because something big was going to happen.

It’s not just americans and it’s not just white males but so many get caught up in the culture of trolling that there are going to be those who become fundamentally damaged by the continued activity to the point that they take it too far and sometimes that leads to things like mass shootings, or swatting, stalking or other criminal behaviour.

No, they really aren’t. You can’t go onto any page run by or made for a minority group without constant nazi level hate and yet Facebook does nothing. If however you defend yourself you get banned for bullying. They enjoy causing harm to vulnerable communities because they like to make money and don’t care who gets hurt as long as ad revenue keeps rolling in.

They specifically have hate speech as a reportable offence and do absolutely zero about all forms of hate speech. I’ve reported people calling others f××××× and they’ve done nothing. I don’t even think they believe n××××× is offensive.

I just started a few days ago and already had to deal with a transphobic troll. Online is so toxic that I’m afraid eventually all social media platforms end up on trolls radar and they seek to destroy them. It’s a shame because they ruin social media for everyone including themselves.

So many people lack a basic sense decency that they actually think it’s ok to cause harm to other people simply for their own amusement. It’s usually straight white american males too.

Yep

It’s a nightmare for anyone who isn’t a straight white american male really.

I fucking hate all meta platforms now. I’ve been on Facebook since the day it went public (allowing anyone to join instead of just college students) and it’s just a nazi recruitment platform now. There is not accountability for bad behaviour, in fact they reward trolls and punish people for dairing to defend themselves.

If I’m harrassed it doesn’t go against community standards but if I defend myself I get banned for 30 days for bullying.

It’s fucked up and it’s deliberate. I’ve actually gotten a ban for two emojis 🐓🍭 got me a ban but bigotry and hate speech are a ok. Ironically even Jewish people aren’t safe on meta platforms. Antisemitic behaviour is rampant, even way before the Gaza war so its not people who give a shit about Palestine.

That’s where growing up in the 80s comes in handy. Thanks to stranger danger we were taught to use code words to prove if someone was telling the truth that our parents sent them to get us. Now it will be needing to use a code word to prove we’re talking to who we think we are.

I am very grateful that my 76 year old mother is savvy enough to ask me or my brother if something seems off. If she gets a suspicious email or link or pop up and she’s no 100% sure it’s fake she asks one of us and we’ll check it out.

I’m so glad she’s not an easily manipulated boomer like some of them. Not saying boomer bad, just that because a lot of them were already up there before the internet became a thing it’s easy for them to take something they see at face value because they don’t realize how easy it is to lie on the internet.

I remember when googles catch phrase was “don’t be evil.”

I miss non evil google.
