The 10th circuit ruled on a similar case this summer. In that one, it was a high school student, and the post was real. They said he can sue the public school for 1st and 14th Amendment violations. I would assume if this guy went to a public university he would be good to go as well.

The bitch is hosed -- if she has any money he can take it. Maybe, maybe the parents? Not if she's 18 though. reddit is in the clear because it was a user post. The Uni -- IDK. I presume they never said anything about him. They are allowed to make these decisions without any reasoning, and I'm not really aware of any framework for second guessing them. If they are public or if you can make up some kind of civil rights claim, you might have something.

I hope he sues in a Republican area with Republican judges.

'Member when during the panicked manhunt for Sam Berkowitz women just reported their exes in mass quantities to the police entirely just to ruin their lives?

They never change, we just gave them more weapons thinking they had humanity and ethics to not abuse them.

Why do it with your ex? Just do it to anyone you don't like

What would be really fun is do this with random leftist's faces. Just flood their subs. They'll never be able to tell real from fake. Should get them a few more times per sub before they figure it out at least.

Leftists cannot learn. They can only be programmed.

If you were clever about it, you could force the elites to put out a programming update.

You'd need to target influential, private leftists to make it work. You couldn't put a caption over Bill Gates' face, but you could probably get a non-famous author or professor.

Go for sergeants, not generals, and that forces the institutional left to at least consider fighting their own hate mobs.

IMO the whole point of targeting randos is no one will think twice about cancelling them (if they're white male). If you try to put words in like anyone with a public persona's mouth, they'll just deny it, and people will have heard enough of their public leftism to believe it.

Right - that's why, if you wanted to weaponize this, you'd need to make your targets appear random, by picking targets who are not known to 99.99% of the Left, and who have no pre-existing platform.

Remember, the process is the punishment.

I'll see when I get bored. It's libel, but it's against people who traffic in disinformation, so I don't see it as any worse than what they do and in fact turnabout is fair play.

Is there anyway to find a follow up because I would love to see how this plays out if he sues Reddit, his ex, the university and any news outlets who picked up this story and ran with it.

The ironic thing is that the fake text probably isn't too far from the truth in a lot of cities.

For awhile there were fun times on reddit where there was a sub that you could post basically anything as long as you pretended to be a leftist outraged at the post. I forget which sub because there were like a dozen copycats.

When are we going to treat the people who make up these stories as badly as we treat the racists? They're just as bad.

Agreed.

Racist/racism is just the modern day equivalent to 'witch/witchcraft'. Every society needs to hate something and today's social engineers have made 'racism' the highest offense. Needless to say, the fine print reads: but only if the person committing it is white.

Racist/racism is just the modern day equivalent to 'witch/witchcraft'.

And as Salem proved, both were primarily used by women to attack people they didn't like by whipping up a frenzy wherein they didn't need evidence, just crying and faking it.

Inquisitors were generally very reasonable. For example, one of the first questions an inquisitor would ask of the accused was who his local enemies were, if the accusor was named as an enemy, the inquisitor dropped the matter instantly.

Witches had typically done something heinous such as poison their husbands and the body was nowhere to be found. One of the problems in our society is that we don't burn enough witches.

Both are true; while the inquisition was no fluffy bunnies you did stand a better chance with their skeptical view over an angry, vindictive mob.

Every power persecutes heretics. It is better to kill crazy cat ladies than sacrifice the unborn on the altar of Capital(Mammon).

This is hilariously delusional.

They tortured hundreds of thousands of people to death, including burning people alive.

Nothing wrong with not wanting to be near certain type of people that has contributed fuck-all to the betterment of society.

I'm hoping the medical school is going to be dragged through court for expelling him. Then the perp. I'd probably conspire to make their life a living hell for the next hundred years.

"Idea: Online matchmaking service called 'Crisscross.whatever' where you exchange victims and coordinate revenge so you each always have an alibi". Maybe I can get an endorsement from Danny DeVito.
