Title sounds like Flock has somehow been wronged and is now "speaking out". I bet that's exactly how they want it. I also saw a Flock ad video that casually claimed to help against "terrorists, like AntiFa". Thanks, MAGA, this is now common.

Thiele is the reason Vance is VP. He's embedded in the maga movement, helping make those messaging decisions, not just following their norms

I know somebody who works at Flock. Any chance you have a link to that video? I’d love to see what he says about the CEO comparing Antifa to terrorists…

If I found out a friend worked for Flock, they wouldn't be my friend anymore.

Unfortunately it’s not terribly easy to un-family somebody.

My condolences

I saw an Instagram reel of a guy protesting Flock by standing outside one of their offices and recording literally everyone that came on and out. A couple employees came out to him and told him they don't feel safe with him recording them, and he's just like "oh really? Now you know how it feels."

One of them looked like Andrew Tate.

They were recruiting like crazy when I was looking for work a couple years ago. I noped out hard after visiting their website and seeing what they were up to.
