    I sort of wonder how long the whole “Directionless internet hate mobs” thing can last. One of these days they’ll cross someone who has legal clout, and when that happens everyone else who uses the internet is gonna end up footing the bill.

      Idk it seems to be doing fine for a couple decades now. The chans targetted Scientologists and leaked celebrities’ nudes, and ultimately nothing really happened. Some guys got arrested but the sites are still kicking.

        Yeah, I was kind of assuming the threshold would be if some senator’s kid dies as a result of one of these campaigns, but you never really know.

        I wonder if the billionaire fascist crowd needs to fully become comprised of failsons born in the internet age before they go scorched earth. Is it just because they’re all crusty old ghouls still?
