Their MO is to make you feel disempowered so you don't vote, participate, or voice your opinion. There's too much hate, my brothers, sisters, and nonbinary kin.

Hopefully we all come out of this struggle session as better and more knowledgeable.

    100%. There's definitely some mental health, substance abuse, and sociopathological tendencies that color peoples' intentions, but no doubt there's some fascists among us. I remember there was a post about it on /cth, and a user had broken down how to spot a fake leftist. I wish I could remember more, but the most striking one was "high volume, low substance" posters. The person publicly called out a couple suspicious users, and alarmingly, their accounts were almost immediately scrubbed. They will often create a "presence" or "personality" and karma by reposting memes, bandwagoning, and doing things like calling everyone "lib" (lol I think we all do that) so they fit in.

    This shit would be ripe for academic study.
