It's very easy to find with those search terms to verify it for yourself. Here's the link. fb.me/e/1jZyuWdvl
This is what Facebook, or @Meta, or whatever stupid bullshit that creepy platform is calling itself to try to distance itself from its ongoing sins, is allowing -- encouraging, even.
Just so gross. Way to go, Facebook. Again
This isn't a hugely popular page, but imagine there are hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands of identical ones in every hotspot, funneling all the violent racist shit-mouths into groups of like-minded people, all plotting and planning. That's been the model all along.

Thread. I joined the San Diego SPJ board to try to get journalists to join forces against what Facebook was doing to our industry in 2018. I discovered instead that SPJ's national board (which is heavy with San Diego people) is taking money from Facebook, and has been for years.
When I brought up my concerns about Facebook and its influence on journalism, my fellow board members laughed like I had made an especially funny joke. "Find us alternative ways to get money then if you're so smart," was pretty much the attitude I was met with.
What's especially great about this video is that because they are always so inauthentic anyway it's impossible to tell whether this is a poorly acted bit
Yep! I can no longer remember this guy's name but I can tell you that during a brief stay in San Diego he did try to stick his gross and much older than me tongue in my mouth when I was just a lil wee one going by "Producer Brooke" at the rock radio cluster in 97 or so
Which is setting the stage for the far right to steal all future elections and accuse Democrats of any number of weaponized and outlandish things to befuddle reporters and cover their tracks. It's obvious by now, no?
Step 1: Flood social media with astroturfed bullshit
Step 2: Tap a few dozen useful idiots to show up at events and harass Dems
Step 3: Harass journos who accurately report facts by accusing them of political bias and worse
Step 4: Wildly accuse everyone else of what you're doing
So the tactics you can identify here are: Firehosing, Gaslighting, and Distraction. There's a fourth disinfo tactic that's starting in again today, which is Disheartenment ("it's too late to do anything.") Don't listen to those assholes, either.
