I just got an account on parler.com. I believe one must know the enemy inside out. Question -

Is there any reason to think that "individuals" named IvankaTrump, WhiteHouse, and SeanHannity are who they purport to be? Is there a way to tell?

But you can troll my ex SIL. He’s a 46 year old no-job-having, no child-support paying creep living his parents. He is considerably older than my daughter. He went from pseudo-intellectual libertarian to Trump fascist after he got his ass handed to him in court during the divorce. Fucker.

He posts crap on there. I’m probably going to sign up as well.

7. Ah. Ivanka and Hannity have labels (Influencer) but White House Basement has a label (Verified).

You see them when you hover over the picture. Now I'm wondering why Hannity and Ivanka aren't "verified." Thanks for the tip. On Twitter if someone signs on with a famous person's name, can the real famous person get it removed/changed?

It seems to me that is the purpose of the site.

6. Just watch out. A lot of Feds are on there setting traps for the QAnoners and White Supremacists.

Now, is what I said the truth or a double psych to make the paranoid QAnoners watching here freak a bit?

One must assume the Feds are monitoring the activity, since most remaining RWers are treasonous bastards.

Whether they are setting traps is purely speculation.

8. After an hour or so as a member, I'm amazed at the snippets of news....

.... with quotes from the left (Pelosi, Tlaib, Biden campaign) that seem so right on. Humane, smart. I can't figure out how the right would think it would do damage to the left to post these. Well, the entity that I chose to "follow" was JusttheNews. Maybe it is just the news????? Does anyone know?

13. The Right interprets signals of compassion and humanity as weakness.

You aren't wired or conditioned that way so you're missing context the cult has. Its a byproduct of your outsider status in Parler.

I know this because I have been, and even with COVID, still am in those circles due to my job. They're comfortable enough around me, though they all know my politics, to let the mask slip and I get to see their natural reaction when Pelosi (or any other well-known Democratic person) says something compassionate, reasoned, and/or rational.

It ain't petty, let me tell you.

We should infiltrate it and report any potential domestic terrorism to the FBI.
