How do we talk about rightwing attacks on this site without getting flagged? [View all]

The path these attacks take now is to brew among subgroups on facebook, like african Americans, or bernie supporters for example, when they find a formula that works there, they roll it out widely buy facebook ads, and push it into the news. They do this knowing it has "legs" among the voters they want to peel away from Democratic Party. I happen to be in a position to see these early and think early warning means better prepared.

Unfortunately, those links get flagged here because they must, by necessity, describe the attack.

The Tara Reade story, for example, circled in a stealth facebook campaign for a month before the Intercept picked it up and made it into a mainstream story. It didn't seem to break widely here until Chris Hays covered it, almost three months later.

So how can I safely post a heads-up about these campaigns? Should there be a safe research forum or something? I really think our survival might depend on seeing the warning signs of a rightwing massacre before they pull out the machetes and go after us Rwanda style. They are already doing that with masks. There was another shooting at a Waffle House today. The mask shootings are not based on reality. It is pure disinformation but it is killing people.

So do we engage with the reality of how these attacks work or just wait and react when they are big news?
