CEO of Brave rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros (lemm.ee)

The IRS rules governing nonprofits still required the Mozilla Foundation to beg big to go big: the parent had to go find big grants from Soros, Ford, Knight, MacArthur, and give smaller grants to many. This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs and nonprofits (too many glowies there for me, too). Which meant I had a hostile MoFo over my head the minute I got CEO appointment from the MoCo board...

Of course I can't comment on anything about my exit, for reasons that only the most loopy HN h8ers still can't figure out.

Pretty sure there's at least one quote of Davis himself using the n-word to refer to federal agents before describing how bright they glow..

I blame 4chan's constant harassment of the man for his speech and early death. They invaded his live streams and gaslit him into believing, among other things, that he was in a relationship with someone else. Collectively, I think they're responsible for his suicide.

Didn't a lot of the people from back in the old 4chan days move over to KiwiFarms? This feels like it would be a kiwifarms thing these days rather than 4chan

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Basically, KiwiFarms were formed by people who were too much for 8chan, which was formed by people too much for 4chan, which was formed by people too much for Something Awful.

Free speech absolutism was a mistake...

(If you ask: there are now people too much for KiwiFarms, usually those that also want to torture animals rather than going after animal abusers for internet cookie points)

It's been a while since I watched a documentary about him, but apparently it was both... Either way, incredibly horrid treatment.

If he was being watched by 4channers. He'd be reading their language and using said language mixed with his own. I don't remember any of the clips I saw of him saying it but I'm not eliminating that it may have happened
