I think, for white Americans, the indigenous peoples they displaced to colonize what would become the United States aren’t real people. Instead, they are supplemental creatures in a myth of American exceptionalism: the wolf that eats grandma; the wind at the door. They are props for enlightenment, triggers of guilt.

I decided to do some research on such online harassment campaigns. What I noticed that there are multiple online harassment campaigns that, similarly to Gamergate:

• start on some levels of misinformation, usually by twisting the words or actions of the target,
• the harassers control the narrative online by attacking anyone daring to oppose it in any way of form, by further harassment,
• the harassers not satisfied until the main target (and often the newer targets) are ran off the internet, or some other demands are met.

I know that 4chan had a few rounds with harassment campaigns of the past, and I also have some suspicion that some 4chan users really wanted to chase the Project Chanology fame, but failing miserably. I did notice that some people have a weirdly specific brand of "mental health activism", that seems like it was made around the fact that the Church of Scientology was strongly anti-psychiatry, with some of those people even being leftists.

Woman of the Year Accurso is officially one of the world’s most influential entertainers. She has now outraged Israel lobby groups by daring to empathise with — and weep over — the tens of thousands of Palestinian children maimed and murdered during the post-October 2023 phase of the genocide.

Accurso, who is Jewish, stated that “constant attacks” by ‘StopAntisemitism’ had led to the spike in threats hurled at her. This comes after the account accused her of “Hamas-aligned propaganda.” The propaganda referred to is her posts and videos about the suffering of Palestinian children. Also for raising funds to help them.
