Curious if anyone has the original Universal Monk comment handy.

    Universal Monk was a prolific poster around election time; he had tons of alt accounts that all posted stuff purposely made to divide the left.

    After his accounts all got banned for trolling and evasion, he started up the Donald J Musk accounts and repeated the cycle, this time posting far-right fascist content and trolling people with lies, disinfo, and general unpleasantness.

    It’s been an open secret for a while that they were the same user based on the MO, but apparently he fucked up and reused a comment.

      Tbh, it appears to me the guy is in serious mental health crisis. Social isolation isn’t great without mh support and tends to exacerbate issues. I’m wondering if it’s simply not affordably accessible to them or if it is and they broke so completely they failed to see the necessity. I remember a post they made about breaking up with their gf and that’s when the alt-right accounts became highly visible to me.

        He also posted about being happily married; there’s really no way to know the truth about a serial liar like UM.

        Although he has serious “50-something-divorced-guy” energy. If I had to guess, his kids and ex hate him for being a right-wing scumbag and this is how he takes out his anger.

          The only thing we need to guess, impo, is he’s in serious mh crisis and pushing him toward suicide or mass shooting isn’t a solution. Ignore or block should leave him the option of seeking professional help or spiralling of his own doing, not ours.

            It also leaves open the option to keep being a racist, transphobic, fascist troll though, which will leave the door open to becoming a Nazi bar.

            I understand where you’re coming from, but it’s not my responsibility to play nice with the people who are attacking the people I love and those like them.

            Trolls should be made to feel unwelcome until they change their behavior.
