On the plus side, human skidmark Laura Loomer lost her little checkmark on Twitter yesterday.

the person who responded was fake; the real Laura Loomer did actually tweet all that stuff which is (sadly) not surprising
there was a video that popped up of her drunkenly hitting on a guy, citing his "great Aryan features", it is cringey as hell

Oh, I know, I tweeted back that I hoped someone who noticed her taking their picture punched her lights out.
She also tweeted that she was 30 minutes late to an NYPD press conference because she "couldn't find a single Uber, Lyft or can driver who wasn't Muslim." How she could tell remains a mystery, since certainly she wasn't assuming based on name or skin color.

On reddit, I called out the possibility of “pro trump/republican” people pretending to be outraged liberals over the news article about ‘It’s Okay To Be White’ printouts being hung on the doors of a high-school. I got tons of downvotes in one ten minute span and a bunch of replies that included one person declaring how outraged BLM people acted over this - giving examples of black people spazzing out, ripping down these signs, confronting white people and telling them “fuck you, go to hell” (none of which was mentioned in any news article).
Blarg. Fake propagandists are still in full force nearly a year after Trump has been elected. I ran into them on reddit of all places. This was the first time I posted politics on reddit. There has got to be thousands and thousands of propaganda accounts abusing upvotes/downvotes on the web in order to control what information gets heard - particularly disinformation.

if you assign a terribleness score and a popularity multiplier to internet hangouts, and then multiply them together, reddit is actually the worst place on the entire internet, scientifically

There are probably private subreddits that are a rallying points for “go here and upvote/downvote this. Reply to this”.

I feel like a future mass shooter is going to come from their ranks. If you search "Sutherland Springs" on Twitter, you'll see all kinds of crazy claims. One says the government and their MKULTRA programs are behind it ; another says that the shooter brought a copy of Das Kapital to the service and declared a communist revolution. Never mind that antifa tend to be anarchists and not communists, and certainly not Soros-funded Democrats. If these people aren't trolls and bots, they're frightening.
