🤔 Y'all pretend to be worried about "disinformation" in journalism and social media...

But you just accept a Washington Post report describing a violent, racist, traitor leaking government secrets (about an ongoing war!) to a chatroom full of racist kids and young men he's radicalizing, as a "charismatic gun enthusiast?" Y'all are deeply unserious people.

You don't care about disinformation at all, as long as the disinfo is in the usual US direction: downplaying racism that hurts Black folk.

@mekkaokereke "He yells a series of racial and antisemitic slurs into the camera, then fires several rounds at a target."

Ah yes, very charming chap, that young boy. Well done Washington Post.

But seriously, the same author has written both of these lines, which are only not a contradiction if you tacitly agree with the racist

And he appears to have groomed these children into being racist anti semitic gun nuts. If he were Muslim rather than Christian this would be a radicalization story.

@ian @mekkaokereke at least his OPSEC is about the same quality as his politics. Publishing videos of yourself in the same place you commit your treason, and that place is a gaming focused chat app which is now fully cooperating with law enforcement? I give him a week at best before the FBI sits his little ass in jail.
