If your contribution to a debate about rising fascism in the US is "all is hopeless", "we are lost", "all is lost", "this cannot be stopped" or anything like that, then know that I'll take you for a false flag sock puppet sent to demoralize those fighting fascism.

I will block you on sight AS IF you were a fascist.

I don't have a lot of agency, but I can cheer my allies rather than demoralize them.

Pock Suppet: n
A stealth account created on a social media platform for the purpose of following another account without revealing the true identity behind the follow. Pock Suppet accounts may have a photo of #boobs or other explicit material in the profile, depending on the marks’ perceived predilections. Pock Suppets usually have few followers themselves, and even fewer posts, though in the latter case it’s not from lack of passionately held opinions.

@georgelakoff 1) I’ve known how networked players work since I stumbled on the Russian #troll farm in 2014. I was following events in #Ukraine (#Maidan, the fleeing of the Pres, the new #democratic elections). I used a list of relevant keywords, plugged them into #tweetdeck. After my day was done in #SiliconValley, I’d browse. When workers arrived to the office in St Petersburg, I saw 100s of the same tweet come from 100s of #sockpuppet accounts simultaneously, flooding #Twitter.
