I drunkenly ordered four black eyeslit balaclavas from fucking Amazon. All this time stealthily getting things from the Internet and get drunk and Amazon one time. I'm on the list for sure
Make sure to buy loads of guns as well, make sure they pay attention to you. If you buy enough stuff they'll come around and investigate you and then you've made a new friend. Pro-Life tip.
Well my wife just bought her first pistol and I'm going to buy a rifle before inauguration day. I also just got a substantial cache of ammo and mags. 9mm, 12 gauge, and 7.62x39. I'm way ahead of this tip.
When you say Nazis, you mean actual nazi nazi, or anyone who doesn't politically agree with Lemmy.worlds world view? Genuine question, like for Palestine for example
Edit: nvm you answered it later
Also he died of sepsis after he pulled one of his own teeth with pliers because he didn't have a pot to piss in. Not that I'm making fun of people who are poor, but just wow.
Holy shit dude, you're doing god's work. If you don't mind me asking, what got you into/how did you start doing it?
And do the FBI only care if there in these groups or are they also interested in people saying awful things online.
Keep up the great work
When the Charlottesville Unite the Right riots happened, I just began to wonder if I could find the average Nazi on Facebook. Like not Bitchard Spencer or any of the prominent figures, but just average Joe Blow imperial Wizard types. I just began searching for more minor figures, and began linking them all together one by one, and began reporting all their Nazi posts to Facebook and getting their accounts nuked. I was SO good at it and they began to get really paranoid. One night on Ambien I decided to make an account and begin friending them, and little by little it took off. I've never had to participate in any Nazi shit, I just allude to "our beliefs" once in a while. Then I began collecting all their photos and putting them on r/beholdthemasterrace so they could be endlessly mocked. Even though they are VERY not social media literate and Facebook is about the maximum they can do (some of them did make it to VK because it's much less censored but that's it), one of them did find his picture on there and complained to the Reddit admins who banned me (lest you think Reddit doesn't support Nazis, they sure do).
Anyway I have a few journalism friends who do work in right wing extremism and I began just to give them information, and met more and more and began helping them with it. I got involved with antifa and we do this in a much more organized way now. We have outed a lot of them to their jobs. We got a Nazi dishonorably discharged from the military, and we catfished Enrique Tarrio into sending us a dick pic.
Re the FBI: three of the White Lives Matter dingdongs were driving to random college campuses in their state and dropping Nazi flyers all over it in the middle of the night as well as defacing the postal office and other dumb shit, so my alt told the local cops who they were and they were arrested, and they connected me with a joint task force agent, and we talk a lot and I give him information when I have it. They are not an organized bunch by and large and most of their shit is really petty but I like having them show up to wherever they are doing their dumb three person protest and have a cop waiting for them. He doesn't know my real name but everything I have given him has turned out to be true so we have a good relationship; I even found him a few January 6 rioters, including the wife of a deceased prominent Nazi who died in prison who brought his ashes to scatter some in the Capitol building. Pretty wild. I've been doing it for ten years next year.
I have alot of serious respect for you man, to take such an initiative with these awful people who think they can say whatever they want online saying some insane racist shit. I'll definitely be following you're account. I'm not american, so sometimes it freaks me out how out in the open Nazis can be, we have the EDL here but our racism is more hidden and systemic
Oh thanks very much. My alt has some EDL friends, they're all these middle aged loser guys who are all on social assistance of some sort and think they look marvelous in suspenders, but they actually look like hardboiled beets on legs. They think my alt is a babe haha. None of these people have impressive lives that's for sure. Best wishes to you.
When you say "When you say Nazis, you mean actual nazi nazi, or anyone who doesn't politically agree with Lemmy.worlds world view? Genuine question, like for Palestine for example" do you mean to imply you care about the meaning of words or are you perhaps a little too sympathetic with Nazis?
I get you're joking, tho personally, I find the whole nazi thing stupid personally (tho in Scotland you wouldn't be calling people Nazis unless to be funny). Also as I learn more about history, I see as simplifying the fact Nazis werent the only bad guys. The only technical good guy with the allies was kind of America (at least initially) all the European ally nations (specially, UK, France, Belgium and Netherlands) were all evil nations that did "nazi like things for longer and then more brutally"
Bad enough, Britain had "operation legacy" to essentially burn or destory all colonial documentations of crimes. Are Nazis the bad guys because they uniquely awful and despicable? Or is because they killed white Europeans and wanted to create a new empire that opposed the hegemonic power of UK and France. The whole "we did it for the Jews" I don't buy, the same Europe that persecuted them for years and had been banned or in ghettos in most nations. Do you really think they'd have such a war over a people they despise so much?
Nazis were always like "normal people" in my mind. You might say any single one was nice, loved their family and pets and neighbors, made funny jokes and beautiful art, they'd give you the shirt off their back, invite you to a BBQ, stubbed their toes in pain like us, etc. They just had these certain traits where when stressed, they felt relieved by populist, xenophobic, masculine/warlike rhetoric, which snowballed.
With that I'm probably more lenient towards people being called Nazis because I'm not looking for a literal 1:1 match anyways.
I agree that we're simplifying that era, feels like we're taking a snapshot of a continuous process. Nazis (or other groups from other eras) are like the extremes or model specimen of how we perceive the period. Nazis were green as fuck in a green era, America was emerald, UK was lime, Japan was chartreuse, it just blends out to a spectrum.
I have a fake white supremacist Facebook alt and i have befriended thousands of white supremacists, and I send the FBI all the information about what they do that I see.
I think part of me is a bit pleased with myself that I've managed to fool them so thoroughly that it seems sort of funny as well while I do it, but it is also hard. They're all very insecure, they have zero hobbies or interests, like not even sports or TV, and they all just seem to have no emotional connection to anyone really. For some reason their pets are ALWAYS dying, like at least once or twice a week one of their pets die, and it's because they don't take care of them. They mostly all have shitty jobs, although one is a physician assistant and one is an editor at Pluto TV, but the rest are pretty marginal. That makes them wildly pathetic in my eyes, and that overshadows their hate. I think of them as lead babies, they're just so emotionally blunted.
I know you, generally like your posts. I love your sovshit stuff. It's awesome to learn you're helping to keep white nationalists contained.
Even though we're talking about literal racist fascists here, please don't shame people for their shitty jobs. Saying that two are this and that and the rest are "pretty marginal" and "wildly pathetic" just after that seems like elitism from our side.
As I'm sure you know, most of these people have had a shit education, shit parent or parents, shit life. So they try to find something that makes them good, better, or special. All they have left is that they're "white" so they make that their identity. It gives them credibility and acknowledgement among other idiots and helps patch their self worth hole.
But you know that. Please don't job shame. Love your work.
Sorry I don't mean to be an asshole. I'm just trying to say it's not like they're some glorious high achieving species that are actually better than anyone else, which they seem to think they are. They have the same shit lives as anyone else. I've only seen two who have jobs that would require any higher education, so it's not like this is some elite higher dimension of racial superiority as they would have you believe. No job shaming, we all do what we have to do and are dealt the cards we get. It's just quite amazing how important and special they think they are because they're white. Thanks.
In another thread someone said the fbi could seize their hardware as part of an investigation as it would contain evidence. Here’s what I’m wondering though, why wouldn’t the fbi just set up their own Lemmy instance. They’ll have access to all the same info. Except for PMs I suppose.
I’m thinking it’s .world, which is why it’s my main instance. Now .world has all of my info, I can rat out the rest of you scoundrels and neerdowells while maintaining plausible deniability.
It doesn't need to be a big instance. It just needs to link with them. In fact it's better if it never shows up in posts or comments at all. Just send those tendrils out to every instance they know of and let their data tools filter through it all.
They like to focus effort and money on anything but the real people causing harm. School shootings are a near daily occurrence in the US…
Trump still isn’t in prison and his degenerate crew already embraced declaring themselves domestic terrorists, as their banner stated, and he’s now going to be president….
So if any fbi are, maybe think about that; what you are serving and what they really think about you
