When you scramble this many ghouls to check every single detail of a person's life history, you can make even the most well-adjusted person seem like a complete fringe lunatic. This is a concerted effort to make this guy seem as deranged as possible, just a wild crazy man, or a poor victim of online radicalization, depending on what tone you want for your think piece.

You can turn the ultimate protest into a cautionary tale about the seductive rhetoric of the violent online left or a mental health awareness month-style unheard cry for help.

Or just drag the truth out like taffy - a visit to a music festival becomes "attended orgies regularly" while enrollment in a university becomes "taught by Marxist professors". Or outright lie.

Curious to see they've lost all the pictures of him in a military uniform. I've never seen the media describe a soldier's death with so few pictures in full dress.

gosh i wish my university had more than 1 marxist prof, even just relegated to teaching marxist stuff

Every detail I’ve heard about this man makes him seem more reasonable and relatable. I don’t mean that it isn’t an effective way to silence him, just that even under piles of selective bias he still sounds cool

No different from kiwifarms aren't they?

All ghouls are the same after a point. The only difference is their reason for being ghouls.
