‘Active shooter at YouTube HQ’

[Sea Star]

Jesus. I knew an Iranian woman called Nasim. Maybe, you know, it's one of those names that can be either male or female?

Sometimes I hate the internet. I truly believed many years ago it would unite people and bring out the best in them

one of those Twits claims to be an investigative journalist

Apparently it's one of those names that is male in one culture and female in another. Out that context it can be either.

And I don't know any out, post transition trans women who go by men's names.

If you haven't come across them before:

Laura Loomer is a far right internet personality, I believe she's a regular on Infowars. She achieved a certain level of fame around the time of the Los Vegas shooting for her disgusting stalking of a security guard at the hotel from which the shooter shot, trying to implicate him (he was Mexican, conveniently) in some conspiracy theory. She also got widely mocked for posting photos of her worn-out tires as evidence of some sort of left wing/AntiFa assassination attempt. She's a conspiraloon of the worst sort.

Peter Sweden is an "Identitarian". He is originally from Sweden, but is, kinda, on the run from his home country. His chief claim to fame is convincing gullible young Americans that Sweden is currently in the grips of a civil war. If you ever encounter an American online and they ask if you're OK, what the sharia law in London and Mayor Khan's caliphate beheading people for disrespecting the Koran inside the no-go zones and no-one speaking English any more then you can guarantee they're a follower of Peter.

Hope not Hate did a piece on him. I shared it on his Twitter timeline in a perfectly civil conversation with one of his followers and the account I was using - an anonymous one - was permanently suspended almost immediately. He does some quite clever social media manipulation I believe, and will often appear as a top result for breaking news stories. Paul Joseph Watson has managed to get himself into a similar position, where he'll appear as a top result for breaking news - this allows them to quickly put out stuff like the fact that this shooter was "wearing a headscarf" (was that true? I never followed up), with obvious implications.

I guess I should be surprised by the number of youtubers making a video about Aghdam, an obviously ill person who eventually killed herself whilst injuring others are pimping out their patreons. But, I'm not.

Her videos are totally wtf. This one's probably my favourite though.

Am I the only one wondering if her poor bunny is missing her?

 

[Sea Star]

No. It occurred to me this afternoon

No. It occurred to me this afternoon

BTW, not surprised by the chumminess between the Inforwars folk, Islamaphobes and MumsNetTransHate bunch in slating this woman. Cloth and scissors. Birds and feathers, etc.
