      She says a bunch of shit but the take away i got was that she's tired of her dm's and replies getting filled with people telling her to go outside, calling her fat, and apparently threatening her. She's claiming that she's going to drop the chapo, trueanon, red scare posting and leave that work to other people.

        she’s tired of her dm’s and replies getting filled with people telling her to go outside, calling her fat, and apparently threatening her.

        threats and calling her fat are obviously bad, but i bet the vast vast majority are just people telling her to log off and go outside. and that's both funny and true.

        i kinda feel bad gawking and laughing at her, cuz there's gotta be more going on here. and if that's the case, i really hope she gets the help she needs.

          Yeah the bullying and threats are fucked up. Most of what i saw was people telling her to log off though. She really could use a break from social media. A lot of people could, myself included.

      Yeah. Lately she's been drawing a line between "grill pilled" and frenworld or something. Really bizarre

        Did we ever find out if she was actually mentally ill, or an intentional wrecker, or some new type of terminally online?

            Keeping tabs and researching the far right is good work that needs to be done by someone. I wish she would just stick to that.

            It does seem like it's a terminally online brain issue. She's drawing a lot of conclusions from very flimsy connections. Like to believe that leftists are talking about Honkler and/or frenworld you'd have to forget that "you're a clown" is a very common insult offline. Like I know people were telling her to log off because she's annoying, but she unironically needs to log off for a while.

          All I've seen is that she doesn't log off. I think someone found her name in some Hillary emails leak, but it was a pretty weak connection. I still wouldn't be surprised if she was a fed trying to divide the left.

    most other leftists don’t have the courage or strength to name what is going on and address it.

    I have the courage, we need to talk about mental illness.

      Even her going after brace for that old picture is disconnected from reality. Yeah it's gross, but he was young and on drugs. Everyone makes mistakes and he's a better person today. It's like she's constructed these weird images of people exclusively through Twitter and indirect sources like old news articles and never listened to them actually speak. Then she projects that image onto us. It is frustrating.

        There was a good blog post that someone wrote about this mindset:

        https://stephenbradfordlong.com/2020/05/21/why-i-havent-left-the-satanic-temple/

        I’m starting to think that the left has two nearly irreconcilable worldviews, and that this rift is causing incalculable upheaval in leftist communities. I will call these two views Contagion and Conversion.

        I am a Conversion Leftist. I believe that the future of humanity depends on humanity doing better. I want a broad left movement that includes reformed criminals, Nazis, racists, former white supremacists etc. To me, a reformed Nazi is a triumph, because that means that Nazi won’t be able to hurt people in the way they used to. To me, a formerly homophobic pastor realizing they are wrong is a triumph, because it means the vulnerable gay kids in his church will be less abused.

        Because I’m a Conversion Leftist, I celebrate any occasion when someone changes their mind in favor of leftism, regardless of how toxic their former beliefs.

        And then there is the Contagion left. The Contagion Left seems to see fascism, nationalism and Nazism as a spiritual quality which can infect a person with secret inner evil. Come into close contact with a fascist, or follow someone undesirable on twitter, and you are now a carrier of untraceable but undeniable evil.

        I think Gwen follows the latter. If you have had any contact with the far right, you are infected and need to be shunned and removed.

      Nazis are bad. Being mean to me, Gwen Snyder, is also bad. Therefore, anyone and everyone who is mean to me must be a Nazi.

      Oh, what's that? You say I can't just run around calling people Nazis for no reason? You sound like a Nazi.

    TrueAnon associates with child rape legalization advocates.

    Wait wtf? I've never actually listened to TrueAnon but this seems like the exact opposite of something they'd do. Also, did Chapo really have Taibbi on recently? (I gather he's been supportive of that stupid Harper's letter about "cancel culture.")

    Who else is going to do 100 tweet rants about how this thing is bad?

    I guess she's just mad that the only people who paid her any attention did it out of a mocking tone.

    Anyone who hides their life in a blue ass city and calls themselves the ultimate epic organizer is kind of a coward or is at least playing leftism on easy mode. Almost anybody can corral America's metropolitan lefties. Let's see ya hit up the suburbs where the real zeitgeist happens.
