@emptyother @stevedidwhat_infosec Glowies want people softened up and aggressive and circlejerking about social darwinist shit ISTFG it's for war with China 😂🤣
I’ve never heard the word “Glowies” used irl before what is that?
Could you elaborate more on what you mean by softened up? In what way?
"Glowies" is fascist signaling. I don't have a good non paywalled explanation so have this, i guess.
@stevedidwhat_infosec It just means CIA. You shouldn't, it's a pretty dark reference to when internet lolcow obsessives encouraged a schizophrenic operating systems coder who lived with his parents to say racist stuff. He does have one famous rant he rehashed s lot where he says "CIA [racial slur] all glow in the dark you can see them coming". At this point it's transcended any racist connotation as people have mistakenly picked it up without realizing, and it's a meme
Ohoho but that’s where you’re wrong
TempleOS IS LIIIIIIIIFE
In all seriousness though, really sad that he passed before he could get real lasting help for his problems. RIP to another creative mind taken by mental illness.
@stevedidwhat_infosec Fr I don't think people understand you can simultaneously find it funny and be deeply disturbed by what severe and acute mental illness and online reactionaries can do to someone.
Some just choose to live a more sensitive life so as to foster growth in more of our own species without excess stress or brashness in an already rough world, that is - for 99% of the population
I can see where most are coming from, it can be tough to form accurate judgments of people online so verifying/making good judgment calls of people during social interactions (this site, namely, and other like it) can be tough - most jump to conclusions
"lolcow", damn you've got all the right wing dog whistles don't you?
I thought the words they were usin were smelly.
Thanks for the intel, love OSINT.
