It was a tweet from a guy about his ostensible 96-year-old German grandfather, claiming that the grandfather said that videos of antifa reminded him strongly of the Nazis back in the late '20s/early '30s and antifa had to be stopped or we'll all regret it blah blah.

And yeah, that's HyperMegaElite handle game.

Right I saw that, but I don't get the tweet then. What does you never existed either mean? Whatever.

It means "Landon Simms" isn't a real person. It's not even a real person lying about having a German grandfather who blah blah, it's an entirely fake twitter persona trying to incorporate a German grandfather who blah blah into its fake back-story.

1. Can someone explain why COINCELPRO is such an elite handle?

2 Does anyone have a link to this LG amazon book review? I am assuming that is real and not just more humor that's over my head.

Yes, I'm 'internet furious' over 2p2 becoming a platform for racist hate groups. Guilty as charged; that's a deep personality flaw of mine to not see the humor in hosting Neo-Nazi garbage.

It's probably best not to dig too deeply into this, lest tptb shut down the entire politics subforum.

Do you know what COINTELPRO was? It's kind of just a funny portmanteau even without detailed explanation, but you could interpret it as meaning that the account is for "surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting" incel political groups, meaning the Pepe alt-right MRA types, basically. Following the original portmanteau it would stand for "COunter INCEL PROgram".

Didn't know about COINTELPRO. Now knowing, that is a hilarious Twitter handle.

I’m sure. I think the best you can say about the tapper quote would be he's lying in a fashion similar to trump, where it’s sort of based on the truth, but in such a deceitful fashion that you have to suspect the person saying the thing.

Went to watch BlacKKKlansman tonight. Good stuff, they definitely didn't hold back. New girl I've been dating had a hard time watching it and a few people walked out.

Basically the language the people in the KKK use. Probably why so many people walked out, expected a pg-13 comedy. It had a ton of hilarious moments too no doubt.

It didn't occur to me that it could have been the language.

No one walked out of the theater at the showing my kids and I went to. There weren't that many people, it was a 4:30 showing, but I would have been shocked at anyone walking out - especially because of the language.
