Yeah, this isnt happening lmao. maybe people chased him down because of who he is, but everything in that post is complete bs. especially in Wayzata, which is like 90% fancy ass lakefront property. The area is super rich, and I doubt grandpa is out there throwing ice bottles at people with face coverings.

Isnt this dude famous for just making shit up and recording things out of context to fit whatever he's saying?

That's 100% his thing. He's writing maga fanfic

Jesus, the second half reads like satire. It's like he fed an activist's post to an LLM and asked it to rewrite it as the opposite.

But the bigger picture here is more important. I am angry. But not at the agitators. I find myself already angry at the people who don’t understand what we’re dealing with and will do nothing about it. When I got to the suburbs I felt like I was in a simulation.

I believe the American people need to wake up. This moment is a warning about where we’re headed. Fear pushes people to care only about their money and their families—I get it. But when fear turns inward, when self-preservation and greed replace moral courage, evil goes unchallenged. And history shows that what we ignore today will come for all of us tomorrow.

Ironically and incredibly, I see that these Communists do not fear death in the same way most good people seem to. The only thing the Communists fear is exposure itself. And that’s good news because it may be our only option.

I’m dead serious about investigating the prosecutors themselves if they don’t hold these Minnesota fraudsters and violent mobsters accountable for what they’re doing.


Edit: after rereading it, I take back the LLM thing; it actually looks like he just replaced the word "Nazi" with "Communist" and "ICE" with "prosecutors" lol

Because it’s fiction. It’s theater in order to gain clout. Just like what Bondi does. Just like what Fox News does. It’s just attention farming.

He'll have extremely edited videos to support his narrative. Maybe he'll start using AI videos.

[-] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

It's absolutely AI bullshit. Look at the dash in the second paragraph. That's not a - that's standard on keyboards, that's a emdash, which is mostly used in the books that LLMs trained on.

For a closer reference: Regular dash:- Em dash: —

I had to copy that from your post because my phone's keyboard doesn't have the symbol

[-] Arcka@midwest.social 3 points 1 week ago

If you use a real computer, making an em dash is trivially easy in Outlook and Word. Many people probably do it without knowing what it's called.

You shouldn't assume that one character is definitive proof.

[-] egrets@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

On both the Android and iOS stock keyboards, you can just hold the hyphen key to get other dashes, too. You don't need to go hunting for it.

The whole "they don't fear death" line is the same thing Zionists say about Palestinians. Of course they fear death, that's why they're so pissed right now! It's absolutely infuriating how nonsensical their words are.

identified myself as Press and they said they will kill Press and will not let me leave.

Cool story, bro.

[-] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 31 points 1 week ago

My heart warms seeing that picture of him just completely struck with fear in his eyes. I want every magat scumfuck to have that look in their eyes

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 26 points 1 week ago

Usually i lose a tail. Not this time.

They try to imitate Trumps ramblings now?

People of every nation

Marching ‘cross these fields
Where a million fascists died
You’re bound to lose
You fascists bound to lose!

Guthrie sure didn't hold back.

They're lying to justify an atrocity.

I fucking wish this wasn't pure fiction.

For people who don't know, this is the same James O'Keefe from Project Veritas infamy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_O%27Keefe

He is quite literally a professional disinfo agent, a propogandist, a fake news inventer.

This is the guy who became famous back in 09 for 'breaking' the ACORN story, which was almost entirely trumped up bullshit, and he basically set the standard for how to do a totally unhinged, disconnected from reality, fake 'expose'.

Back then, after about 6 months, even a fair number of Republicans realized this guy was full of shit. A year or so later, the GAO investigated his claims and found them to be bullshit, but ACORN had already been killed by Congress.

Him doing shit like that is where Bannon got the idea of the just insane torrent of nonstop absurd hyperbolic bullshit, primarily as a means of energizing the base.

Anyway, fast forward to recently, O Keefe got kicked out of his own organization because... oh oops, he was misapropriating funds, the thing he falsely accused ACORN of doing.

Fuck this guy in particular.

Fucking reptiles.

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Amazing. All that happening, and not one person thought to pull out their phone and record it.

[-] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

This is the sort of fan fic I look for on archive of our own 🥵

Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.

Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.

This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.

Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Rules


  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.

  7. No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.
