Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Would you like to know how bad it is going to get?

I spent 2015-2020 researching /r/the_donald and other subreddits in its ecosystem

Here is what happened then:


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

People who helped run the 24/7 Rally For Donald Trump on Reddit organised with White Supremacists - neoNazis - to promote the Unite The Right rally, which was a race riot. They were not ignorant of the fact that the organisers were neoNazis, because some of them were, too


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

With the release of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers and various other Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists from prison because Donald "Good People On Both Sides" Trump pardoned them, there will be more Charlottesvilles. A lot more.


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

The people who ran /r/the_donald got together with the people who ran /r/cringeanarchy, /r/metacanada, and a dozen other hatred / harassment subreddits to target the main moderators of "the defaults" off of Reddit.

If you've ever read "5 Moderators Control 500 Subreddits", that was spawned by them.


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

It gets worse


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Some of the people in this group of Trump subreddit operators appear to have been straight-up Kiwifarms core - the kind of people who hijack credit, break into emails, phone up relatives, impersonate targets to swindle "bail money", and phone in bomb threats to homes and workplaces


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

This group also operated /r/watchpeopledie, where they posted and reposted the Christchurch Mosque shooter's video, as well as ISIS beheading propaganda.


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

They will — pursuant to Trump admin "Free Speech" policies — push to show footage of violence, including (and especially) politically motivated violent extremism.

This will be to motivate ("2 Minutes Hate") and normalise, demoralise.


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Members of this group repeatedly deployed CSAM & CSEM in order to frame their enemies as pædophiles.

These resulted in death threats &, threats of arrest and prosecution.

"Trinadin", in the screenshot below, was a "moderator" of /r/the_donald, responding to one such libertarianjacketing incident

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

"Trinadin" was never prosecuted for his part in the conspiracy to harass and defame multiple people through use of CSAM & CSEM.


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Trumpist operatives will find ways to level accusations of sexual impropriety against their political enemies. It will not just be LGBTQ people they accuse of pædophilia and child abuse.


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Their goal will be to leverage social murder to get people fired, disowned, cast out, harassed, assaulted, and murdered, based solely on allegation


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

These are just the things I witnessed, that I can point to and say "They absolutely did it".

In 2019 I was trying to track down instances of members of this group bragging that they were trafficking transgender women. They hinted in private chats that the more illegal it was, the better for them, $


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

I never cracked into whatever backroom or chat or telegram they may have been using. I only saw three statements from members of this group implying that they were driving transgender women into prostitution by coercion.


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

It may be only after the end of this administration, maybe only a generation on, but we will see at minimum a rash of r*pe, forced / coerced prostitution, and slavery under the aegis of law enforcement


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

These were people who were involved in operating the /r/rapingwomen and /r/beatingwomen subreddits, along with a slate of other horrible subreddits


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

However bad you think it will get, it will get that bad and worse.

because what they're doing to the US Federal Government right now is stripping out every person who would enforce the law, decency, and has a conscience.

All the professional moderators.


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

This is why it is vitally important to leave Twitter and leave Meta platforms.

When you place your trust in a platform operated by a Trump-captured individual or group, you are trusting them to not plant material on your account, to get you arrested / fired / assaulted by mob / murdered


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Elon Musk knows that he can get away with calling people who annoy him "Libertarians".

He will never be meaningfully fiscally sued for damages and penalties to prevent him from doing it again, and with a government at his back, he will never be investigated for it, much less go to prison


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

When the Oath Keeper lynch mobs show up, they will not listen to "someone hacked my account"

Do not give the MAGA captured corps any sliver of control over your reputation or speech


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

What is the best defense against that? Not engaging with them in online forums? If I understand you correctly it seems like you're saying they were flaming other people online with false accusations of child abuse—so its only a short leap to doing that and then doxxing them?


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Don't engage them; report, downmarsey (where available), ban (where available), block (where available), and ultimately, leave platforms controlled by people who have shown they are co-operating with Trump politics.
