You always see right-wingers complain about so-called “cultural degeneration” but they never mention this, so do they really care or are they just virtue signaling??

This is a thread about the persona Anarqxista Goldman, AKA Dionysia Exarchopoulos and other variations on those names.

She was not killed two days ago in a knife fight as claimed by her twitter account because she never existed in the first place. She is a fabrication by Andrew Lloyd, AKA Dr. eXistenZ.

What follows is a thread detailing her non-existence

*! Rad book suggestions for my 15 year-old sister, PRETTY PLEASE?!?
I got her 'Caliban and the Witch' last Xmas and she really liked it.
Her bday is in 1.5mo & l'm a cis/het(ish) guy so I don't feel super qualified to tailor my recommendations to a queer-curious teenage girl.

Oh, also she’s *technically* my half-sister, she had a narcissistic & emotionally manipulative/abusive father, we were raised mostly-secular-Christians but (I'm ~atheist) she's much more fond of Judaism, and our Mom is very open minded & will not disallow any book I give her.

I also got her 'There is Nothing So Whole as a Broken Heart: Mending the World as Jewish Anarchists'
I don't think she's read it yet, but she has expressed great General interest in anarchist books last time brought some over

** I asked this on my Twitter < https://twitter.com/nick_giraffe/status/1606600513474232320 > & got some good answers, so I figured I’d ask here as well
