was he doxxed or did he have worse opsec than that guy who put his own ssn on billboards?
Why would doxxing and harassing threaten you off the internet?
(hidden for mention of SA)
I just sent him back a picture of my shotgun. Didn't hear much back.spoiler
I've been doxxed and sent a rape threat to my younger sister by a neo-nazi.
I can understand the fear, the anxiety, etc but 99% of the time they just do it to cause exactly that; intimidation. Ignoring that either causes them to act up on their plans or give up entirely. Showing them you can defend yourself usually dissuades any chances of acting.
Opsec is always important, always, always, always. I just feel like if you're high-enough profile, getting doxxed/harassed is almost inevitable no matter what politics you carry.
IIRC he wore a mask and used a voice changer because he was a lawyer so online extremism would cost him his job. Which is why he had to drop his YT channel after being doxxed.
Having a high-professional job like that makes sense then. That is awful. Did he end up keeping his job then I'd assume? If ya lost it at that point..might as well keep going, ya know?
No idea what happened after he disappeared, sorry!
after being doxxed.
i thought he used a reddit account where he had posted pii before starting the channel. idk how kids use the term now but in my day looking at someone's post history wasn't doxxing.
Sorry, I must be wrong then! I never looked into this, that's just what I remember reading back then.
Opsec is the most important. That said, I do agree people take internet death threats way too seriously. I know it only takes one crazy person from hundreds to get you, but they are as cheap to send as a picture of a pig pooping.
His videos are what pushed me over the edge on China and finally got me to start researching the real development of material conditions in China, and also read what Chinese communists themselves say instead of just taking western propaganda and ultra-left "Maoist" talking points at face value. I will forever be grateful to him for helping me complete my deprogramming from anti-China brain worms.
Exactly the same with me :)
Is that bayarea415?
Pretty sure I met him once
I enjoyed bayarea415's videos when I found them this year, they were mirrored luckily. for instance, this one here: https://youtu.be/CGQeF62zdCc
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
He was too based to live. 
🥲🫡
Learned alot of game from him.
Who's this comrade?
Bayarea415, a dengist from the before times 🫡
ah the glorious MoreTankieChapo times
Thx comrade
We were co-mods on /r/socialism long before /r/cth rose to prominence. In that realm of interaction, he was super nice. Good mod.
Foolishly, I did not appreciate his videos when he started making them, because I was still anti-China. You don't know what you got till it's gone.
