    Gems (also we should invite them to the discord where last night, 1 in 5 posts was about cum)

    Though activity in Reddit grew overall by ~20% over the course of recent quarantine (see Appendix figure 6), we find surges far outpace that in these communities with increases of over 400% in activity on both r/chapotraphouse and r/socialistra.

    Those are the numbers I like to see

    On page 3 there is a chart that compares “anarcho-socialists” to ISIS and Boogaloo, with check marks showing we all commit lone wolf and cell terrorist attacks, as well as have “Utopian legends/narratives”

    Anarcho-socialist militias which explicitly glorify Martyr narratives, classic authoritarian narratives, and revolutionary narratives are now formally organizing—and are growing.

    Anarcho-authoritarian here ready to do a utopianism

    Examining Twitter’s verified feed, we found that before the death of George Floyd, anti-police terms were not widely used on Twitter. By eye, the graph in figure 1 depicts a substantial change which occurs in the use of the term ACAB on the day the video of George Floyd’s death was circulated on social media.

    Gee I wonder why anti-cop sentiment would grow after a high profile murder by police?

    and socialist-leaning subreddit

    Akin to the content we found when investigating the Boogaloo, dehumanizing memes and cartoonish calls for violent insurgency were present in all three communities and, by eye, r/dankleft appeared especially productive and creative in sharing these memes.

    Meme subreddit likes memes, who knew?

    Willem Van Spronsen… died in a shootout with Tacoma law enforcement while firebombing an ICE detention facility

    Praise be upon him, but he certainly wasn’t a redditor.
