I mean the Medium article in question was written by "The Classy Libertarian", was the only article they'd ever written, and they had that crap "don't tread on me" flag as their profile picture.
A google search alone told me that this was a hoax BY 4chan to spread misinformation because if they can't have memes nobody can I guess.
@noiob because to do their hoaxes they adopt their own stereotype of an "sjw". However because they are so mired in hyperbole, bad faith arguments, trolling, fallacies and shitty behaviour, they can't even IMAGINE anybody else is not like that as well, so they project their own shitty behaviours onto everyone else, believing they alone are the smart ones.
Hence why their "sjw" stereotype persona they adopt for these hoaxes is so blatantly false; it follows all the same channer markers.
@Nine that's a good analysis
@noiob this also follows for neo-nazi "alt-right" fucks, GG and its related ilk, transphobic organisations and the evangelical right wing.
@noiob honestly I'm not the one who thought that analysis up. far smarter, better people who have invested more time and effort into trying to untangle this shit have enlightened me to this realisation. namely CaseyExplosion, Shane and the like on hellbird. They're right though.
@Nine doesn't really matter as long as we have and use that knowledge
@noiob very true!
@Nine why are 4channers so bad at making their hoaxes believable? If I took the time to write an article I'd also make a new medium account
