Terrible graphics, but they are targeting a survivalist fb site I follow, SHTF. Nothing big, just things like making your campfires last all night mostly that I've seen.
The "story" is that AntiFa is going to overthrow Trump this weekend and probably 80% of the posters called fake news on it, but this makes me think they are trying to get that type of people fired up and that is dangerous. It also makes me think they are expecting something big from Mueller and are trying to spread doubt.
Keep your eyes open for this sort of thing. I think we need to call bs when we see it to keep it from spreading and dividing us even more.
Me.

Don't you Remember,
The Fifth of November,
'Twas Gunpowder Treason Day,
I let off my gun,
And made'em all run.
And Stole all their Bonfire away. (1742)[48]
The fifth of November, since I can remember,
Was Guy Faux, Poke him in the eye,
Shove him up the chimney-pot, and there let him die.
A stick and a stake, for King George's sake,
If you don't give me one, I'll take two,
The better for me, and the worse for you,
Ricket-a-racket your hedges shall go. (1903)[47]

(17,425 posts)He's out of his mind, and it looks like he has a lot of friends who are the same way. I can't even explain how crazy the stuff he posts is.

(3,827 posts)Over a million people have subscribed to that page - Report the post to FB. Let's see if they are paying attention this go around.

(2,857 posts)Weeks from now they're going to say it doesn't violate their tos, but thanks for reporting..
Maybe you should report it too? The squeaky wheel gets the grease

(3,827 posts)I do report tweets all the time- Twitter has improved over the past couple of years. Twitter will send a report to your notifications and once they review it they will send another one telling you the if the tweet/account was deleted.

(2,857 posts)They just never do anything. I reported someone calling Michelle Obama a monkey once as racist and they said it was not racist. W TF.

(3,827 posts)That type of shit isn't allowed on Twitter anymore- You should cancel your FB account and monkey around with the Twatters of the online world.

(2,857 posts)I prefer fb as that is what my kid is on.
I was right about what they would say about it though. I guess since I flagged it as threats of violence they got to it quicker, but it still didn't break their rules.

But I have a feeling they will be prepared to "bug out" after they hear this news.

(27,742 posts)for Nov 4th. Not much was said about this until these right wing assholes blew it totally out of proportion to fuel their
followers lust for bogus theories, paranoia and hate. It's not enough that they own the 3 branches of government and have turned this into a goddamn police state where nazi rallies are protected by riot police. No, they have to act like they are under some kind of half ass threat from the boogie men. It's a getting pretty tragic.
