lol twitter nazis couldn’t even wait one hour after the assassination before heading out to college campuses with their phones to make ragebait videos trying to sicc their vile audience on random students
That sucks, I actually have been lucky enough not to see that yet but it is thoroughly unsurprising. In the live threads this morning people were rightly asking ‘how fucked are we’ and I think there is valid fear around government repression of anyone they consider left. See the president and attorney general and chud commentators including Chuck ramping up rhetorical attacks on trans people writ large following the Annunciation school shooting.
But RW attacks against randos certainly seems like a real possibility. They like to talk a big game about kicking off their day of the rope fantasies and that is mostly keyboard warrior behavior, but it only takes one person that’s alienated and keyed up enough to go out an hurt an innocent person. I had seen there was already targeted harassment going after the livelihoods and reputations of anyone publicly posting indifference to the Finding Out event that happened.
I’m getting a bit tangential here, to bring it back to the main point, yes it seems like these conservative content creators (should i have gone with the obvious triple K alliteration there? My Maoist Standard English is a bit rusty) are reflexively going on to like you say create the next ragebait. I wonder if this is just like, instinctive behavior, or they’re being cynically rational, but I do wonder if they realize they’re doing something in the real world or if they think it’s all a game.
Chuck sure as hell thought he would keep this going forever, but life comes at you fast, 2,700 fps sometimes.
