        This is just so similar to the strange culty things I was seeing in 2011 on spaces like /pol/ and 8chan. Rabid, violent philosophies being developed in discords. You have teenagers and adults - some of whom are probably adult men intentionally trying to create this kind of death cult.

        The “billions must be saved” is just setting off so many alarm bells in my head.

      Serious. I follow several of these little groups. Discord server seems fairly active, in the dozens.

      Eventually, tumblr is going to get a teenage girl to shoot somewhere up.

          I think there is something sinister going on.

          Something else I am seeing, a group aligned with the transphobia crowd, is an anti-adoption movement. It’s really complicated and subtle, but I think there’s anti-abortion and pro-trad marriage types sneaking into spaces labeled “feminist.” Tumblr has a lot of teenagers on it, including very young ones, who are getting suckered into some dangerous ideologies.

    I thought, for a moment, they were following the scRum manifesto, which would’ve been a very different thing
