The only person Taylor Lorenz has justification to be speaking to is the owner of the account.

Turning up on the doorsteps of family and friends is very obvious attempt to turn people close to her against her. It's an attempt to destroy her.

I hope the unwelcomed guest gets dealt some lead projectile disinviting.

And I'm looking forward to the legacy media circling the wagons about how Russian Disinfo lead to violent attacks on free speech.

They're in New York so the best I can offer is to throw bagels at her.

I wonder if it would be possible to find the puppetmaster by simply searching the update language from before the update.

That shouldn't be too hard. This term surely wasn't used since the 1940s or so, and nós every other NPC is using it to justify that bullshit while sounding soooo mart.

It's a GameJournoPros kind of situation. The propagandists all receive a letter telling them what kind of language to use, they do it, and the brainless idiots following them all start obediently and automatically repeating the new phrase, just like they've been programmed to.

The puppetmaster is the megacorp that owns these journalists, which we already knew.

Well GamerGate has shown us that these journos all talk to each other in private chats. I'm sure they were talking about it amongst themselves and the one with two neurons instead of just one came up with "shoe leather".

Twitter results for "shoe leather reporting", 4-18 to 4-19: one

Twitter results for "shoe leather reporting", 4-18 to 4-20: at least a hundred so far, and it's only 3 PM on the east coast

They really are NPCs.

Disclaimer: Many of the results for the second search are people mocking the sudden explosion of the term "shoe leather reporting", but at least half are unironic uses of the term.

Why do SJW love the word "folks" so much?

Because Obama said it. It's that simple. They're like children who want to be like their favorite cartoon character. Whenever a leftist says "folks", you should imagine a child saying "paw patrol, let's roll", because it's the exact same mechanism.

They don't love it, they hate Southerners.

Their misappropriation of folks and y'all is the worst thing done to the South since Reconstruction

They're going to flip the switch back off when Project Veritas shows up to do an interview because it's (D)ifferent.

Social media is worse than bleeding ass cancer.

There is a big difference between talking to people to find info for a news story and trying to slander an enemy to their family while plotting to slander them too if they defend them.

This is like when they all suddenly started using terms like "stochastic terrorism" and "code switching", terms they likely never even heard of until they were all but told to use them as defenses for their allies.
