White nationalists and supremacists on social media platforms are using coded hashtags and innuendo to rile up thousands of followers on divisive issues that federal officials warn might drive some extremists to violently attack public places in the U.S. https://t.co/OIgeHuloPr

So are we talking about “white supremacy” or Christianity? I still don’t know what the former term means, but it seems that it is increasingly being used interchangeably with “Christianity.”
If I didn’t know better, I would think that the Jewish media – which is run by Jews, who you may remember from such events as the murder of Jesus Christ – were in the process of conflating Christianity with the still undefined “white supremacy” term. We don’t know what “white supremacy” is, but we know it is the worst thing ever, and that no one who is called that is ever allowed to live a normal life ever again.
Remember when they made Pepe the Frog a “white supremacy symbol”? Well, now they’re doing that with the Cross. A lot of boomer Christians would rather deny Christ than be accused of being a racist.
AP:
The social media posts are of a distinct type. They hint darkly that the CIA or the FBI are behind mass shootings. They traffic in racist, sexist and homophobic tropes. They revel in the prospect of a “white boy summer.”
White nationalists and supremacists, on accounts often run by young men, are building thriving, macho communities across social media platforms like Instagram, Telegram and TikTok, evading detection with coded hashtags and innuendo.
Their snarky memes and trendy videos are riling up thousands of followers on divisive issues including abortion, guns, immigration and LGBTQ rights. The Department of Homeland Security warned Tuesday that such skewed framing of the subjects could drive extremists to violently attack public places across the U.S. in the coming months.
These type of threats and racist ideology have become so commonplace on social media that it’s nearly impossible for law enforcement to separate internet ramblings from dangerous, potentially violent people, Michael German, who infiltrated white supremacy groups as an FBI agent, told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday.
“It seems intuitive that effective social media monitoring might provide clues to help law enforcement prevent attacks,” German said. “After all, the white supremacist attackers in Buffalo, Pittsburgh and El Paso all gained access to materials online and expressed their hateful, violent intentions on social media.”
But, he continued, “so many false alarms drown out threats.”
DHS and the FBI are also working with state and local agencies to raise awareness about the increased threat around the U.S. in the coming months.
At this point, the article gives two paragraphs about the Buffalo supermarket shooting. It doesn’t outright say that the shooter was a Christian, but heavily implies it.
In fact, the shooter was a supporter of homosexuality, and a coronavirus lunatic who took the vax. No Christian took the vax, no Christian supports homosexuality. He did not say he was a Christian.
References to hate-filled ideologies are more elusive across mainstream platforms like Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and Telegram. To avoid detection from artificial intelligence-powered moderation, users don’t use obvious terms like “white genocide” or “white power” in conversation.
They signal their beliefs in other ways: a Christian cross emoji in their profile or words like “anglo” or “pilled,” a term embraced by far-right chatrooms, in usernames. Most recently, some of these accounts have borrowed the pop song “White Boy Summer” to cheer on the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion on Roe v. Wade, according to an analysis by Zignal Labs, a social media intelligence firm.
Facebook and Instagram owner Meta banned praise and support for white nationalist and separatists movements in 2019 on company platforms, but the social media shift to subtlety makes it difficult to moderate the posts. Meta says it has more than 350 experts, with backgrounds from national security to radicalization research, dedicated to ridding the site of such hateful speech.
I wonder who wrote this Associated Press article? It’s very hateful and anti-Christian. Who would write this?
Ah.
Hmmm.
Yeah.
Forgive me if I’m sceptical.
Statistics just don’t support the rampant “white nationalist” narrative.
This appears to be another attempt to gaslight the public.— David_A_D_Fisher (@DavidADFisher) June 10, 2022

Who are these white supremacists? Are they part of some organization? I ask because I’ve never met any and I’ve never seen or heard of any incidents involving any? All I’ve seen are incidents where people are tagged as white supremacists with no evidence.

Yet none have attempted to assasinate a Supreme Court judge. Great coverage @AP

Translation: If you use a hashtag we don’t like, you’re a white nationalist and should be banned.

Pro-abortion extremists are currently vandalizing crisis pregnancy centers across the country and trying to assassinate Supreme Court Justices.

As opposed to, say, Chuck ‘The Schmuck’ Schumer actually saying to the Justices ‘You Will Pay the Price’ because they probably won’t decide in his favor? #LiberalStupidity

I hated when all those white supremacists burned down major cities and attempted the assignation of a Supreme Court Justice. When will the government stop them… Oh wait.
