I didn't have the whole historic overview of where the on line / street theatre right wing provocateur movement was coming from, and the MS article fills in the info. There were a lot of people and incidents in the article that I saw reported on by different media sources as they came up, but I hadn't ever put the pieces together.

It all boils down to some whiny right wingnuts wailing "How dare you not be tolerant of our nazi-style intolerance?" The creeps who attack and death threaten everyone now piss and moan about how they're being attacked.

There is one big squirming maggot nest of them, all combined, the echoes people, the O Keefe breitbart Milo provocateur "reporters", the online MRA manosphere. They attack, then the staid authorities in charge of academia and in the corporate press give credence and coverage to their hysterical claims that they're being attacked. Exactly like the coverage of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, and the debate around it.

Their crazy, gleefully evil crowd has constantly attacked (EVERYONE) and threatened violence, and then runs and makes an appeal to authorities to "please defend us poor right wingers because we're being attacked". To be forced to debate that alt-reality with these people, by "referees" who are academic or media authorities, is itself a propagandic black psy-op attack on all the people who those rightie freaks are attacking. ("Dig, it's like Gaslight" -- Lenny Bruce)

When this crowd were 7 year olds, they were cowardly bullies on the playground. They would see a kid they thought they could pick on, and once they were sure of a win, would take the kid's hand and hit the kid in the face with it, and say "stop hitting yourself!" There was never a valid "free speech" debate argument to be had, in a discussion between the coward bully and the person getting hit, about who was attacking and who wanted the attacks to stop. In any discussion occurring during the attack, any verbal response was another victory for the attacker, because their stupid seven year old alt-reality was being discussed, when both sides knew it was fiction. The only proper response was a good swift kick in the ding ding.

And those rightie cowards still think their seven year old kid alt-reality strategy is genius. Because actual reality hasn't caught up to them yet.
