So are we going to just keep pretending a sub-subculture hasn't arisen since ~2015 where folks actually *record themselves* randomly attacking, beating, even burning or killing people, seemingly bc of their race, then posting it online for mass enjoyment? https://twitter.com/RememberLibert1/status/1275687429362638848?s=20
Propagandists know video, pics, human stories are gen far more emotionally resonant & impactful than data.

This is why #BLMtheOrg trades in case narratives & black trauma porn vids.

While complaining reporting black-on-white hate crime is "racist." https://twitter.com/RememberLibert1/status/1275689062876184577?s=20
What does it say abt US mass culture &/or certain subcultures RIGHT NOW that even young children are recording themselves ganging up on, abusing, & physically attacking toddlers for being white?

Those babies didn't get idea to do that all on their own. https://twitter.com/RememberLibert1/status/1275687566591868928?s=20
"400 years of fucking slavery!" he yells, as he kicks the white boy in the face again.

Boy, this third-wave anti-racism sure is bringing us some much-needed healing & reconciliation, isn't it? https://twitter.com/RememberLibert1/status/1275689627513507841?s=20
Causing somebody's apartment to explode into flames is such a giggle.

"Yoooo I be buggin 😂💀"

Are we gonna talk about this yet, or no? https://twitter.com/RememberLibert1/status/1275693252021288960?s=20
Are folks truly not concerned that some subset of our population has developed such pathological hatred for white people that they do sadistic crap like this? And record & share it? https://twitter.com/RememberLibert1/status/1275693641927983104?s=20
Y'all shd be concerned about it. & not the just white folks. First guy they attack here looks like he's non-white &/or mixed. But sure looks like they systematically single out, then attack, white & "white-passing" guys here.

Rage is nobody's friend. https://twitter.com/RememberLibert1/status/1275698317033459713?s=20
Ofc, in some cases, we don't know for sure that attackers targeted people bc of race &/or complexion.

Just like we don't know for sure that Permit Patty, BBQ Becky, & many other #LivingWhileBlack "villains" were racist (r/t just equal-opportunity bitchy) https://twitter.com/RememberLibert1/status/1275695659979550726?s=20
How out of touch must a man become with his own humanity to do such a thing to any living being, let alone another human?

Fruit of a steady diet of victim-hero narrative & trauma porn that effectively demonized an enemy? Or is vic's whiteness incidental? https://twitter.com/RememberLibert1/status/1275695822932410369?s=20
Pack mentality, and mob mentality, lead folks to places like this.

I do not recommend encouraging it.

(This particular vid came from a nearby bldg, but at least one attacker can be seen recording.) https://twitter.com/RememberLibert1/status/1275699451198418945?s=20
Outrage vids will do that.

Which is why #BLMtheOrg content so effectively triggers deep psych responses. Racism's always to blame, true or no. & folks start feeling they &/or ppl they love are under constant, growing threat, when IRL risk is microscopic. https://twitter.com/AswynnNew/status/1276268607035641857?s=20
Most are horrified to see fellow humans not just hurt a seemingly innocent person, but do so gleefully.

But this is where constantly marinating in a vat of steaming hatred, resentments, & historic wrongs that don't even belong to you inevitably takes some folks. See also, Nazis
