    First, spoof your IP address.

    Then, start with Facebook. Create a realistic looking account, preferably with bots for friends, and start sharing and commenting on hateful groups’ posts. They’ll come out of the woodwork and if you play your cards right you get invited to Discord servers and shit like that where the really heinous stuff happens.

    Then, after taking months of screenshots and compiling all the data you can, you turn it over to Unicorn Riot or a similar group and watch the fireworks.

      Unicorn Riot, hadn’t seen it before. Looks really interesting. Other than being Left and somewhat militant, (I’m Left), do you have any criticisms?

        Nothing comes to mind, but I don’t follow them closely. I just remember they were involved in that major leak that took down a ton of fascists by doxxing them.

        Which, IMO, was fucking dope. Some high-level infiltration led to that information.

          Badass. I’ll enjoy reading about it.

          If I were younger and had more free time; it would be fun to infiltrate these groups.

        That’s fair. Leave that to the dedicated antifa espionage types, they have funds for this kind of stuff. I’m sure they see it as worthwhile if they can disrupt the group entirely for the price of $20 or whatever.

      Ummm…that sound like commiting suicide plus I move town to town for my work so its hard to find groups like that. And apparently its expensive for like a hidden camera that looks like a button. Maybe I should start a go fund me thing. Or a kickstarter.

    Look around on social media? I mean, they’re not exactly subtle, especially now that Elmo runs Xitter.

        Personally I don’t like comparing Elon to Elmo, Elmo is a good person. I get that it infantilizes Elon, but in my mind there is nothing negative about Elmo, and it grinds my gears when people call that human waste by the name of such a sweet caring individual.

    Telegram is full of these groups. Usually, the trolling is simply one-upping their ass-backwards logic, like telling white supremacists to “not even breathe the same air that a non white has breathed! hold it, pass out, but refuse to take any of it in!” - if it’s a video of someone stating that and saying there’s scientific evidence, people will believe it even more and no, you won’t even need to create fake links for said “evidence”.

    I stumbled across a subreddit at one point that I forgot the name of and could never find again. It was a bunch of people pushing memes to crazy right wingers on Facebook encouraging them to do things like not vote and make really poor decisions like tearing up their social security cards.
