Humber has one heck of a backstory. Meth addict dildo seller turned Nazi audiobook narrator.
I don't know how to feel about the arrest of the person running the platform. I typically lean toward siding on it's the responsibility of the posters for what they post, but at the same time, if you are knowledgeable people are using something of yours for a crime, and not just anything, but terrorism or supporting murder, it seems like he should definitely have some share of the responsibility for not even taking any form of action.
That's a sentence I never expected to hear.
Sometimes I feel like I'm living in the latest season of The Boys.
I'd be fine with a meth using lady with some form of legit self run business. This Nazi stuff is a bridge too far though.
The Boys is written to specifically mirror modern life in way that calls out the fucked up nature of things.
That's much of what I didn't enjoy about the last season. It didn't really feel like satire so much anymore.
They did that because people didn't get that it was satire and were unironically calling Homelander the good guy.
I do recall seeing that.
This is why you can't argue facts with some people. 🙄
Well then you clearly don’t vote republican.
She was working as a terrorist go between in this case. I guarantee she was involved with hundreds or even thousands of nazi terror plots as the admin of a nazi terror network.
This isn't someone running a tropical fish forum that was negligent and let it become a hotbed for racists. She started and directly participated in many of these plots. I have no sympathy at all.
I don't recall where they all were, but I do remember there being a string of these power station shootings for a while. It's somewhat nice to know the reasoning behind it all now, though also more disturbing seeing how widespread it is and not just a couple of local yahoos. Both these women deserve to put away.
My unsureness was only about the level of responsibility for Durov, though it seems some of his charges are for his complicities in allowing things like this to continue and failing to cooperate with requests to do something from authorities. It does sound like he is now cooperating to turn over any evidence he may have about crimes arranged over Telegram, so why I don't feel this should give him a free pass, it's good he may allow other crimes to be prevented or prosecuted.
I don't follow much of this news lately, as I've just been overwhelmed by it becoming such a regular thing, so I've had to catch up on all these details.
It's the same logic as terrorists in the middle east, degrade government legitimacy by degrading services and protection. Then offer yourself as the alternative. It's fucked up but it can definitely work. We should not be laughing this shit off. FBI Counter-terror needs to turn it's attention inward because so much of what the alt-right is doing is terrorist stuff related to setting up an insurgency.
Whole life sentence should be case then.
