As an ardent Trumpist, he certainly fits the mold. As an aside, Justice is an impossibly ironic name for this dude.

Had my child been a boy instead of a girl, that’s what we would have named him, except spelled ‘Justus’ = Just Us.

Less “inspired” than an “excuse-maker” for, but Brett Easton Ellis deserves a place in this topic. This privileged twit is being rightly eviscerated for his political views:

The actual topic for this closed a couple of hours ago, but golly gee, I sure am surprised that the guy they arrested for burning down historically black churches is an avowed white supremacist… :roll_eyes:

(The last update in the thread was that he was a white guy, and son of a parish (read: county) sheriff’s deputy, but reporting had only gotten as far as “metalhead” before it closed.)

Our resident ethnostate fans are going to be so disappointed it wasn’t one of the many, many other reasons historically black churches get torched.

New plugin allows the far-right to ‘graffiti’ any website

The reviewers soon migrated to another platform. Hundreds of sexist comments about Captain Marvel started to reappear, this time on a browser extension called Dissenter. The plugin, available on most web browsers, allows anyone to comment on any webpage on the internet—and to see the comments left by other Dissenter users. Without having the plugin installed, the comments are invisible.

Dissenter acts as a workaround for people wishing to comment on websites, even those without a comment section. One user, Cody Jassman, describe the plugin as “like the graffiti painted in the alley on every web page. You can take a look around and see what passersby are saying.”

The plugin was launched in beta at the end of February by Andrew Torba, who co-founded Gab, a far-right social network. Gab is well known for being the platform where Robert Bowers, the suspected Pittsburgh synagogue shooter, published anti-Semitic comments before he allegedly killed 11 people and wounded many others at the Tree of Life synagogue.

Not a new idea, and sounds exploitable. How much protection do they have against floods of non scum-of-the-earth posts?

Oh man, Varg. That guy made a Nordic-white-supremacist tabletop game and constantly tried to push it online under other aliases.

Definitely not a new idea. I remember this from 20 years ago:

If an alt-right fascist version of this exists, I doubt anyone who isn’t scum will knowingly use it or read whatever garbage comments the fascist users are sharing with each-other. As long as the “graffiti” is invisible to the site’s owners and users I’m fine with this plugin existing – especially if it keeps these arseholes from polluting the official comments section.

[The only potential issue I could envision here is the plugin being used to co-ordinate driving trollies in a topic, but there are other ways they can do this.]

Or terrorism offline, but your same caveat applies.

I do not underestimate the violent tendencies of those who follow a murderous ideology.

How could this possibly be taken as anything offensive? Yup, international terrorists at large.

Is this polish as in polish or polish as in shoe polish?

I think your first version was more succinct… but this is both more polite and more extensive.
There is more than just one.
