Stochastic Terrorism - Libs of TikTok targeted a district, then a non-binary student was killed on campus

[Across-the-Desk]

"One of these instances was at the Owasso School District (just outside of Tulsa, Oklahoma). In 2022, Chaya Raichik targeted an Owasso teacher for speaking out in support of LGBTQ+ students who lacked acceptance from their parents. Raichik’s post was shared thousands of times on social media and resulted in the teacher getting condemned and harassed until they resigned. The posts Raichik made about the teacher were later deleted, but have been archived. It’s unclear what prompted the deletion of the posts by Raichik. We know Raichik’s Libs of TikTok posts have contributed to a culture of intolerance against LGBTQ+ youth in schools, and now this hate may be manifesting beyond mere threats."

1. I just don't get it.

They go after the most vulnerable people and they are proud of their "accomplishments". They really are just bullies, but I've never really understood bullies. How does it make you feel good to make someone else miserable or even destroy them? I intellectually understand that it makes you supposedly feel powerful, but I figure whatever their hierarchy is it makes the bullies just a notch above who they are bullying. In other words, they are second to the bottom. That means the bullies have recognized that pretty much everyone else is above them. Does this make sense? What a miserable life.

2. All they know how to do

is "punch down".

3. Civility pushed those least desirous human insticts into the background,...

... with the hopes that that least desirous conduct and hatred is eventually scrubbed from the gene pool as most of humankind struggles to distance themselves from the swamps of primordial ooze. Somehow these racists, bigots, KKKrishguns, and hate filled zombies got left behind and in a cloud of dust.

But the low IQ Neanderthals amoung us cling to the bigotry, hate, and violence as a badge of honor, courage, and pariotism to get things done their way, which is often deep into Fascistic approaches and behaviors to get their points across.

Intolerance and elimination of any others is paramount to their life mission and goals.

Inflicting pain and harm is the sweet relish that tops off their daily accomplishments making their lives meaningful and worthwhile.

Their minds are warped,... they are the epitome of uncivilized. They cause society to stand still - or worse yet - go backwards and regress....

"the regress is a return to Puritan values"].

4. I never heard of Libs of Tiktok or Chaya Raichik and was confused at first.

Libs of Tiktok sounded vaguely familiar to me, but only very vaguely. So I was completely lost until I clicked on the article and saw this:

Self-described stochastic terrorist and January 6th Capitol rioter Chaya Raichik, owner of the social media account Libs of TikTok, has become infamous for her viral harassment and moral panic campaigns targeting minorities— with an emphasis on vilifying LGBTQ+ existence.

And I was like, "Oh, NOW I get it!"

I'm going to leave this here in case this info is helpful to anyone else who may be in need of it and doesn't have time to read the article.

What a horrible, tragic story. And the worst part is that we're probably going to see more and more of this kind of thing, as long as there are so many on the right pumping out hate with all their might.

I don't understand why people feel it necessary to persecute those who are different from them and can't just let other people live their lives in peace.
