[FRIAM] patriot hackers, again

[uǝlƃ ↙↙↙]

My inclination is along the lines of the anarchists here in the PNW, to profile and dox them to their communities. If we've learned one thing from those apologetic trolls, it's that when they come face-to-face with their targets, both the troll and the victims experience epiphany. The troll realizes that words do matter and the victims realize that *anyone* can be radicalized.

I know there's the risk of some (many?) of them digging in their heels. But even the most hardened supremacist or ideologue has trouble suppressing the social need to feel they belong.

Of course, some of the doxing will only come if they're charged with something. The ones whining about being put on the no-fly list before they could get home is a good example. So, charging them with something may be required for an adequate doxing.

It probably would have been better to enlist Amazon to keep Parler open as a honeypot. But we still have Gab, which is (kindasorta) distributed.
