How ‘Doxxing’ Became a Mainstream Tool in the Culture Wars
NY Times ^ | August 30, 2017 | Nellie Bowles

Posted on 08/30/2017 3:44:36 AM PDT by C19fan

Riding a motorized pony and strumming a cigar box ukulele, Dana Cory led a singalong to the tune of “If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands.” “You’re a Nazi and you’re fired, it’s your fault,” she sang. “You were spotted in a mob, now you lost your freaking job. You’re a Nazi and you’re fired, it’s your fault.” “All together now!” Ms. Cory, 48, shouted to a cheering crowd in San Francisco’s Castro neighborhood on Saturday. They were protesting a rally planned by far-right organizers about a mile away. “Dox a Nazi all day, every day,” she said.

Someone described today's society as living with all the disadvantages of a small town where everyone knows each other without any of the advantages of having a cohesive community.

Doxxing works because corporate HR departments work from the same ideology as Antifa. Isn’t that ironic.

Two as can play that game, especially a few weeks from now when Antifa and Black Lives Matter become radioactive.

... and then there’s 4chan. These Antifa types are no match for the doxing power of 4chan.

Outing people who seek anonymity when expressing their views; the left is furious that our secret ballot was used to beat Hillary, so the public battles have to be won by intimidating any opposition (through fear of public exposure). This past presidential election saw the fewest lawn signs/bumper stickers (for either candidate) in my lifetime; a sign of things to come.

You haven’t heard that Democratic politician like Nancy Pelosi and media types are denouncing them as we speak?

Soon it will reach a crescendo.

You can dox Antifa goons all day. Very few actions will be taken out of fear.

Get off of and stay off of social media. Direct your family and friends to keep you and pictures of you off of social media. Find a private email provider. Turn off Bluetooth and location services on your wireless devices. Use a VPN whenever and wherever you can while using the Internet.

This “doxxing” crap is done in the open and is very easy to accomplish given the open nature of the Internet and society in general. IT security professionals build profiles for people with relative ease nowadays. Don’t put yourself out there, and the chances of being “doxxed” are virtually nil.

Is that the "far right" rally that was opposed to Marxism , the "far right" rally that was going to gather to pray, and/or the "far right" rally that was going to have 8 speakers, only one of which was white, and included blacks and a transgendered person? The NY Times writers and eds are such jerks.

One of the perfect example of how this crap is used to intimidate people who stray from leftist orthodoxy is how the former CEO of Mozilla was forced out of his job when it was revealed that he had the temerity to donate to a political fund that supported traditional marriage.

The left believes in the politics of personal destruction, and they won’t hesitate to try to destroy peoples’ lives.

Aside from occasional posts here on FR, I keep a really, really low online profile.

I used to do book and CD reviews on Amazon, under my real name, but I quit that after I got into a flame war with some jerk.

As for social media, I would sooner pass through a needle’s eye than have a Facebook page.

*************
Women often go into HR because they think it’s a touchy feely “girly” position... at the last big company I worked at HR was so hated that when an announcement was made that the head of HR was leaving because of stage 4 breast cancer our department had an impromptu party night.

In the soviet union people turned in their neighbors for talking against the state. This is the same fascism that the NYT is promoting.

Thanks 2DV, now I understand what you meant.

I wonder why they’re turning on their own?

Repeat the lie often enough and it will be believed. Nazis are products of the political left.
