My god I love watching some people think.

Imagine compounding your in-person harassment with attempting to incite even more online harassment.

When you ALREADY don't know what's coming your way.

And using my image AGAIN to do it.

And somehow not realizing that I am totally capable of doing and willing to do whatever's necessary — including blowing shit up online or even talking to cops — to protect other people.

Achievement unlocked.
Enjoy the fallout.

Weird how Ms Ngo is concerned about others' words and not her own.

"No platform for fascists" means we don't give them a place to spout their shitty worldviews, not "no one can speak about this particular fascist".

Just because YOU discovered something exists last year, doesn't mean it didn't exist before.
