So blatant that an aussie satire article called that out.
haha they edited that line out afterwards. I guess someone realised the protesters weren't shooting rubber bullets.
Oh no no no, they were *checks original copy of the article* "caught in the crossfire".
One of the important points is people sharing the uncensored message. This is a cut-and-dry example of unintentional promotion. For example, I tried looking up the initial news on /r/Melbourne and the mod team wisely said something like "The Guardian has chosen not to share the image in their article and we will do the same", locking the thread so that no accounts, whether sincere curious people or Nazi astroturfers, can say " what did it say", "it said X, how fucked up", "omg how can this happen?". That's an example of the no platform tactics , which given the nazis' goals, is an effective tactic in the arsenal.
On the other hand, you're right that Tanuki is raising awareness of the event. I think their perspective is, if they have a platform, it's best to make crystal clear how pathetic these people are behind their anonymity. (And I'm not saying that as a blind claim, these people have had their own members embezzle them, get repeatedly infiltrated by current affairs shows, have major financial donors lose their jobs and half their members and promoters are headed to the camps one train after the socialists and Jewish). Their recruiting effort relies on trying to show they're better than all those failed neo-Nazi groups like Patriot Front and Atomwaffen, so we if we must talk about them (ignorance doesn't work), we should make sure to laugh at them too, show we have a community willing to fight these alienated tourist flash mobbers.
And I think you raise an excellent point about unnecessarily naming a specific group, pointing potential recruits towards them more easily and making it a more common name to hear. I would be guilty of that too.
Yeah. Listening to body cam audio from BLM, pigs are laughing about which media company's reporters they hope they hit. They see the Media jacket and they don't blink – a camera is a camera.
And, in case it needs to be plainly stated, this is a form of terror against press.
Good on you for sharing the wage fund.
I appreciate the write-up, friend. Thanks :)
Out of all the countries to take high-speed rail inspiration from, I would hold off until that US line is actually operating.
“live rent free in their heads” doesn't mean to be aware of someone, it's talking about obsession. That cm lad constantly tries to bring up ".ml" out of nowhere to incite drama, and I just took a glance at their user profile and holy moly it's almost entirely just reposting from lemmy.ml.
Like just look at https://lemmy.world/post/30613970/17403019, a content creator is asking them to stop reposting their work to a certain community and telling them how it's harmful, and cm0002 is just using that as an excuse to handwave it and soapbox. This is unhealthy antisocial behaviour.
A business would likely retort: "But there's demand for it!"
That's also the rationale I've heard from cocaine dealers, but at least they had the high ground to say "and I can make sure they get the safer pure stuff".
Ah good, finally in effect.
Don't get me wrong, they do think it's funny and laugh about it, but this is not just a prank or joke. It's intentionally terrorising people who bring cameras to expose their actions. We saw the same targeting of the press during BLM.
