Thread by @deb_fillman

I've debated retweeting this only because I don't want to include drama for its own sake in my feed, but there are some points here that are so important, so relevant to so many people, I had to. A thread. 1/

Predators do exist in both male AND female form. They may look and act differently when they're female, but they exist, and @NotMikeHarlow is right, they get away with it way more often. People are much more willing to believe a man behaved badly, even without evidence.2/

No one should ever have to endure what @kieranjwhitehas been through. I've been on the receiving end of smears and defamation from this same person, and no matter what she's done, she's maintained her support from people who claim to care about the non-aggression principle. 3/

Defamation is aggression. Lies and fraud are aggression. Signing people up for spam is aggression. Honorable, principled people don't behave this way. If they have legitimate claims, they go to court. If not, if they just don't like someone, they get on with their lives. 4/

We have got to stop remaining silent in the face of bullying, even if it's a woman doing it, even if she's crying, or insisting she's the victim. Maybe she is, maybe she isn't, but don't just assume because she's a woman, it must be true. 5/

No one wanted to talk about this whole mess less than @kieranjwhite did. He would love to have just gotten on with his life, but as often happens with abusers, his decided to control the narrative and exact revenge for being rejected at the same time. 6/

What choice did he have but to release info? Then to be accused of doctoring? The poor guy doesn't have a powerful enough computer to tender high quality 30 second videos for me in under three hours! You think he can do that level of deep-fake? Come on! 7/

I hate liars. I hate them with a passion. There's so much constructive power in telling the truth, and saying you were wrong, and in apologizing for hurting people, and to see people go out of their way to throw that away to hurt people more, to destroy, makes me sick. 8/

To see a destroyer elevated to candidate for Governor, by the party I thought represented my values and views, makes me even sicker. This woman brags about psychologically fucking with people, and gleefully exploits their content to make money, while also using it to harass. 9/

Everything she accuses others of doing, she has done or is doing -- most of her accusations are confessions. Many of us have watched her abuse @kieranjwhite and @RealKeriSmith and a long list of others, myself included, for months. 10/

We have been advised not to say anything, to just block and ignore, to avoid drama, and we have each tried that, for weeks and months at a time, but she always comes back. All it takes is posting something she disagrees with, and thinks she can use to hurt you, or get clicks. 11/

Staying silent makes it easier for bullies to do what they do again, and to new people. It's easy to say "that's not your problem, let other people figure it out ," but is that really how we want to be? Manipulation is a thing. Lying to get people to trust is a thing too. 12/

This notion that it's honorable to just let abusers walk around abusing, is wrong. I think we are so afraid to be called woke for levying accusations, especially against a woman, that we just don't! But that's crazy! All@we have to do is expect to be asked for evidence. 13/

If you have it, you're not the bully. If their bullying takes the form of accusations, why are theirs ok, but your defense is not? It's not even chicken and egg, who has the evidence? Who can show their version of events makes sense? But people don't ask. 14/

They look at the race and gender of the accused, and decide, like that's all we need to know. That's just wrong. It's UNAmerican in fact. We need to stop doing that! 15/

So I decided to RT this thread, even if it does seem unnecessary or strange to you--I hope you're never on the receiving end of months of cyber stalking and bullying, like @kieranjwhite was. /END

Despite all the abuse, @kieranjwhite has gone out of his way to help so many in the fight for liberty! Free branding advice and, graphic design, all the way from the UK he has more skin in this fight than many of us! Let's get him a new computer!
