(1/X) I’m really shaken up right now. I was just visited by two plainclothes police officers from California Highway Patrol at my home. They said they came here on behalf of the Capitol Police and accused me of threatening @AOC on Twitter yesterday. This is provably false. pic.twitter.com/NGR8KViy93— Human Rights Watch Watcher (@queeralamode) April 8, 2021
I know everyone is raring to minecraft AOC right now but can someone explain go me why the CHP would go do the bidding of the Capitol Police for a congresswoman uninanimously hated by law enforcement over a tweet she probably didn't read? I don't doubt the experience was terrifying for @queeralamode but when I read this I'm feeling like something is missing.
Twitter really needs to go away. Reddit isn't immune to this either, but at least the length of the post that you would need to make to get this level of attention makes it easier to poke holes.
We have been so ready to cancel AOC (I know she has done bad stuff) that we are saying stuff that makes us sound insane to anyone that isn't a hyper-online communist.
Oh I fully believe the cops would come harass this person. I don't really know who they are but they'll fuck with a random person for little to no reason as it is, so that all tracks. I just don't see her directing that, despite Max Blumenthal's assertion that she asked her supporters to report critics to social media censors.

Because people see something they want to believe and stop thinking about it. Leftists are no more immune to confirmation bias than anyone else.

It's not crazy at all. It's the default behavior of humans

We're a little less prone imo but still have a healthy serving.
