Why does criticizing shitty opinions somehow mean that you “can’t handle different opinions than your own” and you’re “attacking free speech”? like criticism /is/ free speech, it’s the exercise of it what the fuck is the deal with that?
It’s part of Stormfront’s forum invasion instructions, if I recall.
Explain
Stormfront used to circulate a document through its forum membership, specifically its subforum for indoctrinating the membership of other websites, no clue if they still do. This was 2010 or so? It was a list of talking points, key phrases, strategies, and methods for invading other forums and bringing them around to a more receptive environment for their rhetoric.
It had instructions on how to make it look like there were a lot more people agreeing with you than there actually were, in order to make it seem as if the fight was already over and the website was only safe for white supremacists and fascists; on how to shut down dissenters of the new status quo, usually with spam or key phrases like the ones you mentioned; how to become a moderation staff member and who to target and how from there.
I’m not saying at all that they invented any of this chatter, that would be patently ridiculous. But I do think this activity had a huge effect on how it’s become a lot more common on the internet and especially with the sub-30 crowd. Stormfront has made no secret about how they’ve taken over 4chan, for example, which was the breeding ground and organization point for the “alt-right.” They didn’t just implement the rhetoric there, they taught it to others memetically.
4chan has a userbase that goes disturbingly young in many cases, so the kids that thought it was fresh six or seven years ago are young adults now. And those that were young adults then are now comfortably situated and camping out in more mainstream venues with these fringe ideas and fringe talking points, and from YouTube comment fields and Twitter diatribes and so on you see those Stormfront techniques passed knowingly or unknowingly to a much wider audience, who are willing to readily accept it as just how things are.
I don’t have a bird’s eye view of any of this. But every time I see those phrases from young people like me, I immediately remember that invasion document.

This is called SWARMfront, and the people who do it are called BUGs. Their strategy includes memetic mantras like, “Anti-racist is code for anti-white,” and shit about “white genocide.” They also do shit like asking why there’s no White History Month or White Entertainment Television while pretending to be pro-equality, or saying only “white countries” allow immigration of people not of the majority race, attempting to get white people who don’t really think about racial issues to see themselves as subject to unfairness and oppression. The mantras and shit are obvious, but they have way more subtle and insidious strategies, which is why there’s been such a marked rise in their rhetoric being spread across the internet.
Sorry for the ugly link but http://truth-zone.net/forum/the-human-condition/64500-stormfront-neo-nazi-propaganda-tactics.html
Here’s a copy-paste of what appears to be the rules used by SWARMfront to propagandize
Thanks to steviemcfly for mentioning this keyword so i could look it up
If you live in the USA and you're pleading for donations to pay your rent, bills, or get food then dial 211! Please dial 211 before the last minute!
It's a toll free service with people who will help you find programs in your community to pay those bills, find food, and find housing! They will give you numbers to call so you can get help.
It is not 100% foolproof. Their job is to direct you to a program they believe will help your current issue, but it's still a step up from praying random strangers online will give you enough cash before a deadline! The added benefit of these community programs, which get funded by the local government most of the time, is if there are more people using them then they can get more money to help more people.
You're not taking resources from other people if you use your community services. Your taxes pay for them. Use them.
Dial 211 first to see if they can help, and if for some reason they can't, then make your donation posts!
https://www.211.org/
Hi I work for my state's 211 service. It really breaks my heart how many people only know to call us at the last minute. 211's can provide a whole wealth of resources to use before things ever get to a cut off utility, eviction, or homelessness!
I can't speak for all 211's but most should also have a website detailing all the agencies in their database. if you don't like phone calls, this can be something to reference instead.
If you don't have health insurance but you need to see a doctor, reference 211! We list clinics that provide free or discounted general care, vision, and dental services to low income households and people without insurance! Many hospitals also have financial aid policies that can severely reduce your bill if you had an expensive procedure!
If you're stuck in a dead end job or need educational resources reference 211! There are a lot of programs focused on providing basic adult education as well as trade skills or other high demand fields! State governments are generally more interested in funneling people into work than providing benefits, but you can still use this to your advantage especially if you have some form of disability but are still able to work. That includes if you're neurodiverse or have mental health issues! Most of these programs are extremely underutilized.
If you believe you qualify for public benefits but the bureaucracy of the process is in your way, reference 211! There are agencies specifically geared towards helping people obtain the benefits they qualify for- for free!
If you need help with your taxes-
If you need help finding a pro bono lawyer-
If you need help finding affordable housing/section 8 housing-
If you need help finding food pantries-
If you need help paying for your prescriptions-
If you need help obtaining disability aids or assistive technology-
If you need help finding transportation options-
If you need help following a natural or personal disaster (like a home fire)-
If you need help repairing a home you or your family owns or it needs modifications to be accessible-
If you need Queer resources-
Reference your 211!!!!!
I had no idea what 211 was before working for it but I wish I had. I've learned so much about what resources are actually available to the community even in a ho hum area of the country like my state. I've saved my partner literally thousands of dollars just from the medical resources I've gathered.
Not enough young people know about or utilize these services but they are there for you!
P. S.
This isn't an intended use of 211, but I like to reference the agency listings when I look for jobs. Many of the agencies listed are non-profits which, while they certainly are not perfect, generally have lower barriers of entry to decent paying jobs with benefits. The work environments tend to be much kinder and at least pretend to be forward thinking. You're more likely to find jobs without as many people applying as well, especially if they're only advertising their positions through their own website.
“You didn’t think you’re doing this without me, did you?” “Without us?”
okay I’m sorry but there is still something so fucking funny about Jeff Davis accidentally creating a pairing so mesmerizing that it basically became a SEISMIC EVENT in fandom, something he stumbled across by taking a chance on a kid from YT and casting a former child actor who couldn’t share a scene with him without reorienting all his awareness towards him, just shockingly compelling found treasure onscreen and off, and Jeff Davis has NEVER EVER STOPPED BEING ANGRY ABOUT IT. Do you know what other directors and show runners would do to have one tenth of this impact? And he ran from it and gets mad when people bring it up bc— and this is the kicker— it was NOT WHAT HE INTENDED and he’s still furious people became fixated on his almost cartoonishly incoherent show for what he considers to be the wrong reason. God. What a legacy. “I reshaped the modern internet and arguably the publishing industry by tapping into psychosexual napalm and shut up shut up SHUT UP ABOUT IT”
If you listen hard enough you can hear the click clack of thousands of laptop keys as Sterek fic writers draft their fix-it fics and mutter to themselves, “I cannot believe I am still cleaning up this man’s messes…”
ANOTHER EMOJI BATCH
EMOJI BATCH OF THE OUTLAST BLORBOS PART 4??? I THINK??? eh, who cares
If companies are allowed to sue you for losses during a strike, there is now no longer an incentive to not simply burn down your place of work.
For most people, there's really no difference between say, 15,000$ of debt, and 200,000$ of debt. They are equally life-ruining sums of money. Why not, you know, leave that gas stove on? Cost the company some real money? Maybe if it happens enough times they won't be able to buy insurance.
postal service kinda gay….
all these “packages” that are “in the male” 🤔😳
you know van gogh wasn’t appreciated in his time either
