2/4/2021 Update: In light of chucklefuck TERF shit with Giggle, I am once again demanding the rest of you liberals educate yourselves on trans issues with Trans Liberation as a starting point. And you better believe more literature on minority struggle is in the pipelines. We're doing some reading this month, libs. Get ready.

---

AUDIOBOOKS HAVE BEEN RECORDED FOR ALL 8 CHAPTERS. YOU LITERALLY HAVE NO EXCUSE FOR LIBERALISM.

Follow that link and you'll find a free download of the book in pdf and comrade @EugeneDebs's epub, comrade @futomes' audiobooks for all eight chapters, and notes and discussions from the book (and don't you dare just read the fucking notes you god damn liberals, read the fucking book or listen to the audiobook).

I spent an entire weekend night scanning the whole damn book so y'all could educate yourselves on the fucking struggles we've been screaming about for the past six months and hardly any of you damn cissie libs participated. Had you participated you'd probably have a better understanding of the struggles we face and we probably wouldn't be in this situation where trans people are heading for this damn hills because you're all shit libs driving us away.

Fucking read it or listen to the audiobooks and I won't ask again. It's all free. The book is only 147 pages - that's 7 pages per night for exactly 3 weeks. I wipe my fucking ass with 7 pages, that's nothing. People put genuine effort into this to ensure you could educate yourselves and you have no reason not to outside of fucking liberalism.

It reads quick. Drop whatever the fuck you're reading and read this. Now. :leslie-shining:

~~Edit: I'll be throwing up a discussion thread at some point in the next week or so for you damn shitlibs to comment on with things you find meaningful so I'll know if you actually gave a shit. I swear to God I better see y'all in the comments.~~

If you're having trouble downloading, there are links in this comment by u/hexaflexagonbear that seem to work.

The north american Dilemmas of Humanity conference is happening today till 8pm est. Livestream

more about dilemmas of humanity

I'm gonna drink like eight coffees tomorrow

[insert thought terminating cliche here and screeching about "tankies"]

Their totalitarian agenda won't stop at me. Beware.

We leftists have learned to shut the fuck up during work for a LONG time. If you really can't resist talking about how much you hate trans people or immigrants, that's a skill issue.

Texas highways targeted by antiabortion activists seeking to block interstate travel

A new ordinance, passed in several jurisdictions and under consideration elsewhere, aims to stop people from using local roads to drive someone out of state for an abortion

Throwaway because I'm referencing specific accounts and have bad opsec on main.

I saw a post referencing Quora earlier and it made me realize that a lot of people probably don't know just how bad it is. Most people don't actually know that Quora has a whole social media side in addition to the Q&A part. There's profiles, follow functions, and groups for posts and image sharing. But Quora is very lax in its moderation, and this side of Quora is pretty obscure, so it tends to attract Nazis who get kicked out of other spaces.

I first discovered the infestation years ago when I encountered a profile with a lengthy account of blood libel, though I couldn't locate the profile now (if you don't know what that is, all I'll say is it's a medieval antisemitic conspiracy theory invoked by Nazis and you don't really need to know more ) I don't know if that account got taken down or not, but when I looked again for this post, I recognized a lot of the ones I found.

If you know the dogwhistles, like "It's OK to be White" it's easy enough to discover a profile that says something like "Fighting against moral deg-----cy and a positive and safe future for my White children," which you can probably recognize as a reference to the 14 words. From there, you can look at the profiles they follow and the groups they're in to get deeper into the rabbit hole, to the people who don't bother wearing a mask.

The most blatant I found was a profile named "Hit Lore" with a profile pic of Hitler and "fuck the jews hiel hitler" in their description, which has been up for almost a year. Here's Stefan Volk with "Studying National Socialism," "Unemployed since 1945" and "Studied White Genocide & Political Correctness at Globalization." Helmut Wighard with a whole spiel praising National Socialism. Chloe with "Studied Adolf Hitler & Time Travel at Western Civilization" and who thinks they're being cute with "I’m everything you think I am … just not the way you define that. And there’s nothing “neo-” about it." They're all very clearly Nazis, and aside from the first one they've been active for years with no moderation, and I specifically remember finding those accounts and reporting them years ago.

In addition to the accounts, there are several groups spreading blatant bigotry and Nazi propaganda, including Holocaust denial, such as Holocaust Forensics. There's also a group just called National Socialism spreading clear propaganda and Christian Identity which features blatantly offensive Jewish caricatures in its most recent post.

I would love to suggest doxxing these people (though I personally don't have any experience with that) but unfortunately most of them aren't dumb enough to post any identifying information. I did find two that have pictures, though I can't be sure that it's actually them and they didn't just grab it off the internet somewhere: Mark Sims, the admin of Holocaust Forensics, and DracomaxXx1988. The latter is the most vulnerable one I found and has more (possibly fake) information in their wall of text full of Nazi shit. Also, if anyone has the stomach for infiltration, there's a Telegram link in the OK to be White group.

There's plenty of bigoted content in their meme channels but I don't especially want to expose myself to it too much, or expose others to it. There's also people in these circles doing some really obvious and disgusting digital blackface, and obviously tons of transphobia.

They may not have many followers compared to other platforms, and they may just be edgy online losers, but anything we can do to fuck with them is a positive. They shouldn't feel safe showing their faces, at the very least.

And in the meantime, know that Quora fucking sucks. There's no verification, no fact-checking, and not even the most cursory glance at people's profiles, and it has who knows how many of these bad actors on there asking and answers questions to spread lies, propaganda, and hate. I'd suggest mass reporting but the mods don't do shit.

Fuck Quora, and fuck the Nazis they allow on their platform.

"Oh your boss threatening to fire you is 'like communism'"

"I listen to guys who are forced to work on weekends say that it's like communism"

"Is your giant multinational company communist?"

[audience laughs]

"Does your CEO have a portrait of Stalin in his office? Do your kids read Karl Marx in school"

[laughter]

"I mean, really, are we [pause] not living in a capitalist country?"

"People keep pointing out child poverty here and say it's like North Korea. Have you been to the DPRK? Can you really say that the stuff you see daily is going on in the competing social system you know nothing about?"

Hexbear has been getting a lot more attention and activity as of late, and while it is very fun to dunk on the new people posting on the site in bad faith, a post to appreciate the new good faith users contributing to the site seems like a great idea.

So, what new users do you appreciate, and what should other potential new users do to get the same reception?
