The Woman Behind a Mass Murder Plot Shares How the Internet Radicalized Her

How a violent Tumblr meme sparked an online romance that almost ended with the worst mass killing in Canadian history.

Hey @staff, @support - here’s how Tumblr’s steadfast refusal to block white supremacists and neo-nazis from your platform resulted in radicalizing a teenager that is now serving a life sentence for plotting a mass shooting with someone else she met here.  Nice going, dipshits.  How many other would-be and actual mass murderers have been radicalized by the bigots you provide a platform for?

genuinely love how absolutely every single thing in this article is a known right wing trope by now and yet wider society still treats right wing terror as a bunch of lone wolves

I know we all like to feel superior to medieval peasants but actually western civilization has not significantly evolved away from feudalism or the 'right of kings' mindset (except the average worker works twice as many hours as a peasant & the monarchy has been replaced by billionaires)

The world is changed. I feel it in the water… I feel it in the earth… I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it. It began with the forging of the Great Rings. Three were given to the Elves, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings; seven to the Dwarf lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls; and nine, nine rings were gifted to the race of Men, who, above all else, desire power. But they were, all of them, deceived, for another ring was made. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret a Master Ring to control all others. And into this ring he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life. One Ring to rule them all.

Concept: a superhero whose civilian identity is five different people. Not like they’re a hive mind or they can duplicate themselves or anything – they’re just a group of five people who all have different powers but coincidentally wear roughly the same size costume, who’ve decided to team up and share the same heroic persona. As far as both the general public and the broader super-powered community know, they’re a single incredibly hard-working super with a bewildering variety of seemingly unrelated powers, except they only have access to any given power some of the time owing to complex criteria they refuse to adequately explain.

(Thus far they’ve been very careful to ensure that their heroic persona is never provably in two places at once, though honestly it’s only a matter of time; there’s some argument among the group whether to deal with that eventuality by coming clean, or by claiming that bilocation is also one of their powers.)

Each of them has a different specific weakness. After a long and harrowing fight their Archnemesis discovers that the Hero’s vulnerable to silver. Three weeks later they’ve got the Hero wrapped head to toe in silver chains, only to have the super-strong Hero break out like it was toilet paper. 

(That one’s allergic to bees, not silver.)

“slow loris” is a sorta bravely insulting thing to name a venomous primate that could kill you with a bite

[30-to-40-olives]

Wait so you’re telling me this guy can kill me?

Honestly I’m not too surprised. Those are eyes that hide unspeakable evils

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

lorises in general can kill you. that specific loris will kill you. it will hunt you down. it will desecrate your corpse. fear that loris
