    I have an outstanding fake social media profile I use to befriend white supremacists and then I go through all their posts, report them and get them banned. You mean to tell me I could get paid for this? I’m just out here trying to ruin Nazi’s days.

        I had started finding Nazis on Facebook shortly after the Unite the Right riots, but one night I took Ambien and created my alt. Then I just friended a bunch of people in MAGA groups, and posted a bunch of funny memes and gave my alt a back story, and then started friending Nazis. I made sure to interact heavily with them as friends so that they think I’m real, and I just make sure to continue the story arc. I’ve never made a white supremacist post ever despite them thinking I’m one of them, but I’ve had her for about seven years now.
