they think it's funny...
|
There's a comedian named Sam Hyde. He's a controversial character who is very popular among young men... young right-wing men, in particular. "When we win, do not forget that these people want you broke, dead, your kids raped and brainwashed, and they think it's funny." There was a time when I thought this was hyperbole. An exaggeration of the truth. Here's what a woman named Nadi came to my page to say: I was at home while my kid was at school and my man was at work. I screamed and cheered for 5 minutes straight. That was before I knew he was gone.After they made it official I felt like "wow I was just watching him 2 weeks ago and literally said to the screen that I hope someone pops his ssa and then this happened". I wished for his demise soon before it happened. Lmao a dream come true tbh. And it wasn't just a one-off. She's in there, harassing my readers. Letting them know she's laughing at us for mourning Charlie. Laughing at him for dying and laughing at his children for being fatherless. 11 years younger than my youngest child. Nadi had a message for him: 3 years younger than me. Absolutely delicious. What a short life  Nadi is not alone. She's one of dozens in my comments right now, brigading the memorial. Spitting on Charlie's grave, harassing my readers, and laughing at all of us for mourning him. The receipts are endless, and not all of them are bots. Some of them are very real people, with very real profiles. Families... children. One of my readers, Katie, stepped in. She didn't argue with her. She just asked her a question. "Did you hug your kid joyfully knowing that his kids would never get to hug their dad ever again?" Katie asked her about her child. She answered: "The world instantly became better for me and my kids.  "Now here's the thing I want you to understand. Nadi is here to get a rise out of you. She wants you angry and upset. She wants you to respond in that state. She wants you to do battle on this ground. This is a predator that has come to lay traps and hunt you. Are you going to give her what she wants? Unfortunately, and I say this with love, many of my readers are falling for her trap, and the traps of others like her. I get it. I feel the pull too. It's enraging, it's sick... You feel compelled to do something about it. To let them know how you really feel. "I slept on the floor of my children's floor. I was devastated... When I saw the reactions of the nose ring crowd I permanently lost all hope. We are not the same species." Watch what happened next. A man named Daniel had been in that thread all morning, spitting on Charlie's grave and laughing at my readers. Daniel went and found that comment, and replied: "Do you realize how dangerous it is to dehumanize your enemies?" And my reader took the bait... "I do not care anymore. They dehumanized themselves. Look at the emojis I got to my post. They can all burn." They laugh-react the mourners. That's it, that's the tactic. Daniel was one of them. And it got a rise out of him, enough for him to dehumanize them all. But we are not them, and we must not become them. This is the great danger. I know it's tempting; I feel the temptation too... but remember the Lord's Prayer. "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." So what do you do instead? Here's what I wrote to her this morning, after she told my readers that Charlie's murder was a dream come true. "Nadi, welcome! It's a pleasure to have you here, genuinely! I have to congratulate you on your honesty. Most people who come here to dunk on Charlie pretend they believe he shouldn't have been murdered... but not you. You just come out and say it. You are a specimen that I value highly. Come back to my page, anytime. Show us all what you are." Do you see the difference? My reader gave them what they came for. I gave them nothing and took something for myself, instead. Frame control. The last couple of months, I've focused on writing cornerstone pieces. Long articles that tackle hard subjects and take an enormous amount of time to get right. It's good work, I'm proud of it, and I know you value it too... but I think it's time for me to return to the fight. This is the purpose of this project, in the end. To give you something useful, something that makes us a much greater force to contend with. And so, this is what's on my mind now. War. Taking the fight to these people. Devastating them gracefully. Use their hate to fund my work. Monetize the haters. All of this happened because of one Facebook post this morning, meant to memorialize his life. stay close, p.p.s. There's a whole industry of people who make a living spitting on the graves of our dead, laughing at us for mourning them... funded five and ten dollars at a time by their own audience. Their side pays for what they want more of. Are you going to fund yours? stopbeingprey.com/patronage |
