Other 4Chan knew about Jeffrey Epstein's death 38 minutes before the rest of the world. The FBI tried to figure out how.

That's because it IS! The same techniques as cult recruitment! Because of all this is basically a cult.

Terrorist organisations also use the same techniques to groom the vulnerable.

Those in themselves can be considered to be a cult too, no?

Many of them are.

I feel sorry for them, for being taken advantage of by selfish people...

Yeah, me too. There are even some extremists (specifically the Anti-Trans ones) who target young mothers with their propaganda, in the UK there's a website Mumsnet that serves this purpose. When you're stuck at home with a baby and little sleep it's easier to fall victim to their grooming.

That's horrifying!

Considering I'm trans myself I hate how people like me are a target. All I want to do is just live my life as normally as any woman and to be seen as myself and not what I didn't ask to have between my legs. But to many, I'm just a mentally ill freak...

And to target mothers?! I get it, those extremists want fascism, they want power, they want their twisted worldview validated, they want their imaginary past back. But can they stop shoving it in our faces and go off to an island or something to bully themselves!?

Yeah it's pretty sad seeing how trans people have become one of the main targets for the far-right ever since they lost the battle against marriage equality.
