There's a poster in UKMT who claims that they were doing "cyber intelligence" for a bank and got radicalised from reading SA.

In general if you're not already eyes-open on board with the police state, white supremacy, patriarchy, and capitalism, the FBI would really rather hire somebody who is.

no, they have to wait until analysts wake up in china and print it out and put it in a binder, so as long as the secret oorah SA mods do their vital intel work within several hours then it's fine

the burnout rate on moderators is horrific, and it is universally outsourced to third party vendors so facebook doesn't have to deal with annoying poo poo like workman's comp when employees get literal PTSD. i imagine a few come out the other side radicalized to qanon or one of the flavors of white supremacy but it mostly just leaves broken people in its wake

This is a decent doco on how companies outsource a lot of their moderation overseas, and the toll it has on the people who do it:

i was listening to the you can't win episode on the something awful forums the other night, and they were talking about the old days of SA when you could troll some random person and there's a chance they'd be some pentagon dude. it's like yelling at your T.V. and then occasionally the T.V. notices that you're yelling at it

but things have been so compartmentalized these days

he had to go private due to the response. His mistake was tweeting about it, which got picked up by local news who then dutifully republished the Nazi flyer in its entirety for the perusal of their audiences

that's... not a very good article... points out how they rely on spectacle, yeah, but it's like they have 280 members in total? in a country of 330 million that's not much. and then at the end it's like, what are their tangible, concrete goals? it reminds me in some ways of anarchism, but like a far-right anarchism
