It's funny reading this nearly 10 year old post in 2024 and noticing that many of these tactics are now universal and some of the people mentioned (Ian Cheong) are still being called Nazis, but by people on the other side of the political divide.

Turns out that the author of that article was/is a pedophile, was using "but I was just being an edgelord/muh right-wing harassment" as a smokescreen to divert attention from her bad behavior, and (wisely) vanished from online after about 2017 when she couldn't whitewash her image anymore. https://medium.com/@srhbuttstruth/5-reasons-you-shouldn-t-stand-with-sarah-nyberg-797d84b07ce https://medium.com/@srhbuttstruth/5-reasons-you-shouldn-t-st...

  You believe that an anonymously written article full of baseless speculation that relies on an anonymous Tumblr post as its source is credible? It would benefit you to educate yourself on how to evaluate the reliability of claims you read online. Here's a tip to help you get started: anonymously written online posts that rely on other anonymous posts should be considered with a very high degree of scrutiny.

    source_wojak.jpg Did you bother to check the links in the article and tumblr post? You would have found archives of the web sites in question, with Nyberg's horrifying words dating back to 2006 preserved. The chat logs have been preserved and distributed all over the place as well; they're not hard to find.

      Yes, I very obviously did because I explicitly referred to it in my comment. Nothing in your comment changes the fact that you linked to an anonymously written article full of baseless speculation that relies on an anonymous Tumblr post that is also full of baseless speculation. Not a single credible source in the entire mess of nonsense that you linked to. You should be embarrassed.
